A gas discharge device comprising a multiplicity of hollow gas filled Plasma-shells located on a substrate, each Plasma-shell being wholly or partially made of a first luminescent material, an exterior portion of each Plasma-shell containing a second luminescent material. The first luminescent material comprises an inorganic material or a combination of organic and inorganic materials. The second luminescent material comprises an organic material or a combination of organic and inorganic materials. Both the first and second luminescent materials may be the same material(s). The combination of organic and inorganic materials includes mixtures, suspensions, dispersions, layers, and coatings.
