Abstract: A panel device includes a plurality of plates which are sealed together hermetically with an array of electrodes disposed in the seal and seated on one of the plates as a support therefor. An effective seal between the parts is made by providing a quantity of sealing material in the seal area, moving the electrodes away from and back to the plate on which they are seated to suck the sealing material under the electrodes and to seat the sealing material on adjacent parts beneath and adjacent to the electrodes, and then passing a thin blade through the sealing material between the electrodes and the support plate in the seal area, in contact with both said parts, to cause the sealing material to wet such surface, whereby a tight leak-free hermetic seal can be formed.

Abstract: A gas-filled display panel includes a top plate, a bottom plate, an apertured center plate, and a plurality of arrays of electrodes associated therewith. The bottom plate is provided with slots for receiving an array of scanning anode electrodes; an array of scanning cathode electrodes is disposed between the bottom plate and the center plate, and an array of display anode electrodes is disposed between the center plate and the top plate. The electrodes and plates are interrelated to provide upper and lower layers of gas-filled cells. The cathode electrodes comprise metal strips which are elongated and have an array of apertures disposed along their lengths, each aperture providing communication between a cell in the lower layer and a cell in the upper layer. The cathode strips are of sufficient thickness to provide strength and rigidity except for a thinner central portion which extends along, and is aligned with, the array of apertures therein whereby the apertures are of minimum depth.

Abstract: A display panel includes a plurality of gas-filled cells which comprise apertures in an insulating plate, and each cell has a cathode at its lower end and an anode at its upper end, from which light exits to a viewer. The walls of the cells are made of light-reflecting material so that nonaxial light rays generated at each cathode reflect back and forth upwardly along the cell walls and exit at different angles. With light rays thus exiting at a wide range of angles, an effective wide viewing angle is presented to a viewer. The surface of the apertured plate which faces the viewer is also light-absorbent to minimize light reflection therefrom toward the viewer.
