Abstract:
An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components (40) at least partially disposed in a socket(30) and sandwiched between two substrates (10, 20) is disclosed. Each micro-component (40) contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes.
Abstract:
Microcavity plasma devices and arrays with thin foil electrodes (16, 18) protected by metal oxide dielectric (15, 19) is disclosed. In a device, a pattern of microcavities (12) is produced in a metal foil. A thin glass layer (25) or vacuum packaging (34) is able to seal the discharge medium into the array.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a plasma tube array including: plural light-emitting tubes; a front supporting member and a back supporting member which spread over the front and back of the light-emitting tubes; plural display electrode pairs (21) provided on the surface of the front supporting member facing the light-emitting tubes; and plural signal electrodes provided on the surface of the back supporting member facing the light-emitting tubes. Each display electrode (211, 212) constituting the display electrode pair is a display electrode which is made of a metal thin wire (611, 612), provided with plural openings (621, 622) formed in a distributed manner and includes a first metal thin wire (611a, 612a) facing a discharge slit (210) and extending along the discharge slit, and the first metal thin wire is a metal thin wire thicker than a second metal thin wire (611b, 612b) which forms a region closer to a non-discharge slit side than the first metal thin wire.
Abstract:
An AC-type gas discharge display includes a base (1), discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) which are arranged on the base (1) in parallel to each other and which contain fluorescent phosphors, data electrodes (13) formed on the external surfaces of the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) such that the data electrodes (13) extend in the longitu dinal direction of the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B), and display electrodes (11) formed in pairs on the external surfaces of the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) at the opposite side of the data electrodes (13) such that the display electrodes (11) intersect the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B). Each of the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) has a flattened elliptical shape in cross-section thereof and includes a pair of flat portions. The data electrodes (13) are formed on one of the flat portions and scanning electrodes (11) and common electrodes (11) are alternately arranged on the other one of the flat portions, and the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) are supported by the base (1) at one or the other one of the flat portions.
Abstract:
A display device includes a plurality of light-emitting tubes (1) arranged in parallel, consisting of narrow tubes having a plurality of light-emitting points formed in a longitudinal direction thereof, a phosphor layer provided on the inside of each of the narrow tubes, and a discharge gas sealed into each of the narrow tubes. The plurality of light-emitting tubes are arranged in accordance with a property which is previously measured for each, such as the luminance, external diameter or discharge threshold voltage.
Abstract:
A display device includes a plurality of emitting tubes (1) constituted by elongated tubes each having a phosphor layer disposed thereon and a discharge gas enclosed inside, a supporter (31, 32) for supporting the plurality of emitting tubes while making contact therewith, and a plurality of electrodes (2, 3) disposed on a surface of the supporter facing the emitting tubes for generation of electric discharges within the emitting tubes. The supporter has a connecting portion (2a, 3a) at an edge. The connecting portion of the supporter is detachably connectable to a connector for applying a voltage to the plurality of electrodes.

Abstract:
A discharge lamp having a large light output and a stable discharge. On an external surface of a cylindrical glass bulb enclosing a rare gas such as xenon, a pair of beltlike electrodes are mounted so as to face each other. A light output part is provided between the electrodes, and the electrodes are situated close to each other on the opposite side to the light output part. An image display device is constituted by arranging a plurality of the discharge lamps. A method for producing the discharge lamps is also disclosed.
