Abstract:
An effective method to create very large electronic displays forms the structure using fiber or tube arrays or electroded sheets containing wire electrodes. The electroded sheets are formed by embedding wire electrodes into the surface of a polymer substrate and electrically connecting a patterned transparent conductive electrode lines to the wires. The wire electrodes are used to carry the bulk of the current and the transparent conductive electrode is used to spread the charge or voltage from the wire electrode across the line of pixels. In most display applications, the electroded surface of the electroded sheet has to be flattened. The electroded sheets may be used to form many different types of displays.

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:
A display device capable of realizing a desired color temperature is provided. Phosphor layers (5a,5b,5c) which are excited by ultraviolet radiation produced by discharge and emit red, green and blue visible light, are formed inside a red, green and blue gas discharge tube (1a,1b,1c) respectively. The height (Yc) of the phosphor layer (5c) with respect to a rear support body (20) is higher than the heights (Ya,Yb) of the phosphor layers (5a,5b) with respect to the rear support member (20), and establishes the relationship Yc > Ya = Yb. Therefore, the distance from the phosphor layer (5c) to the opposite discharge surface on a front support body is shorter than those from the phosphor layers (5a,5b), the visible light emitted from the display device (10) is shifted toward blue, that is, the color temperature increases.

Abstract:
A technology effective for improving the luminous efficiency, lifetime, and color temperature of a PDP having phosphor layers of three colors is disclosed. A PDP comprises a plurality of narrow tubes (60) arrayed on a substrate (51). In each narrow tube (60), one of phosphor layers (61R, 61B, 61G) is formed and a discharge gas is contained. The compositions and pressures of the discharge gases are set within appropriate ranges respectively corresponding to the phosphor layers (61R, 61B, 61G). Consequently, the PDP can have a lengthened life-time and an improved luminous efficiency. Reductions of variation in breakdown voltage and adjustment of color temperature are also possible with this constitution.

A display tube (1) is provided that can improve light emission efficiency without raising a breakdown voltage. The display tube (1) has a tubular vessel (10) defining a discharge gas space and a pair (20) of display electrodes (21, 22) for generating surface discharge along the circumferential surface of the vessel (10) and opposing discharge traversing the inside of the vessel (10).

A gas discharge tube (1) having a phosphor layer (4) formed within a tubular vessel defining a discharge space includes a supporting member (6) independent of the tubular vessel. The phosphor layer (4) is formed on the supporting member (6). The supporting member (6) is inserted within the discharge space.
Abstract:
A gas discharge image display is formed by disposing a plurality of fluorescent lamps 1 each comprising a glass bulb 2 within which a rare gas is sealed, one or more pairs of external electrodes 5a and 5b located on the outer wall of the glass bulb 2, and a fluorescent layer 3 formed on the inner wall of the container facing the external electrodes 5a and 5b. An alternating voltage pulse is applied between the paired external electrodes 5a and 5b by an X drive circuit 9 and a Y drive circuit 10 for discharge light emission, thereby displaying an image. The pressure and alternating voltage in the fluorescent lamp 1 are changed in response to the type of fluorescent material, thereby making near light emission and discharge characteristics of the discharge lamps which differ in electric characteristics.
