Abstract: A gas discharge display device has a hermetically sealed gas filled envelope having an anode plate on one interior side and a profiled cathode on an opposite interior side. A control plate having a conductor matrix thereon formed of row conductor runs on one side and column conductor runs on an opposite side with perforations in the plate disposed at row-column intersections is disposed inside the envelope parallel to the anode and cathode and divides the interior of the envelope into a post-acceleration area near the anode and a discharge area near the cathode. The cathode profile is a plurality of spaced ribs disposed parallel to at least one set of conductor runs on the control plate. Upon cathode energization, gas electrons are ionized on that part of the cathode confined by neighboring ribs and opposite to air charged conductor on the control plate and subsequently drawn to the anode plate through the matric holes to display a point-form image. By confining the gas discharge to the vicinity of a small number of conductor rows, unwanted background luminosity is substantially minimized on the display screen.

Abstract: A plasma display device is provided with a gas discharge device which is filled with hydrogen as an ionizable gas and contains an aluminum cathode which is maintained continuously coated during the gas discharge with a film of an aluminum oxide which is either resistant to the hydrogen gas discharge, or the non-resistant portions of which are re-formed into the oxide by means of an additive. This plasma display device can be provided for flat picture screens, particularly of television sets, because during the required life of the gas discharge device, a premature rise of the operating voltage is prevented and, at the same time, there is little sputtering effect.

Abstract: This disclosure depicts cathodo-luminescent devices utilizing a gas discharge as the source of electrons, and television display apparatus employing an X-Y matrix of such devices as the picture elements. In each embodiment illustrated, the cathodo-luminescent display devices are depicted as each comprising a two-section gas cell. A gas discharge, serving as the electron source, is established in a first section between cathode means and anode means. Free electrons generated in the first section are drawn through openings in the anode means by a high gradient field in a second section and accelerated into impingement with a phosphor disposed on a viewing screen. Establishment of a gas discharge in the second section is precluded by appropriate selection of certain dimensions, gas pressure and accelerating voltage according to Paschen''s law. Moderating means is provided in certain embodiments for causing the energy range of free electrons entering the second section to be narrow relative to the range of energies of free electrons generated in the gas discharge. A number of control grid arrangements and other features and details are disclosed.

Abstract: Gas discharge display device having a vacuum-tight envelope with a front and back plate. A control unit divides the interior of the envelope filled with gas into a back and front space. The back space has at least one plasma cathode and at least one plasma anode. The front plate carries a cathodoluminescent layer and a layer electrode. The control unit contains at least one electrode plane extending parallel to the wall plates, with at least one conductor. In operation a gas discharge burns between the plasma electrodes. The distance between the post-acceleration anode and cathode is small such that no gas discharge is ignited in the post-acceleration space. The post-acceleration cathode is coated with an implantation protection layer of a high-melting metal to maintain the operating voltage constant under continuous load.
