Abstract:
A display device comprising a panel structure including a plurality of gas-filled cells and including, within the body of the panel, gas communication channels extending between selected cells to provide a selective flow of excited gaseous particles from certain cells to others to prime the receiving cells and thereby control the transfer of glow between the cells.
Abstract:
The method comprises assembling the various parts of a display panel made up of rows and columns of tiny dot-like display cells and including elongated anode and cathode electrodes, filling the panel with the desired gas, and then aging the panel by turning on all of its cells in a sequential pattern and with the panel held at an elevated temperature.
Abstract:
A display panel includes a layer of scanning cells, each including a scanning anode and a scanning cathode, and a layer of display cells arrayed adjacent to the layer of scanning cells so that the scanning cells communicate with and are sources of excited particles for the display cells. According to the invention, the cells and electrodes are arrayed so that each scanning cell communicates with and provides excited particles for more than one display cell.
