Abstract:
Multiple position display panels for displaying one or more characters side-by-side in one or more rows and including a plurality of parallel elongated conductors bearing a plurality of flat cathode segments along their length and an anode associated with each group of the display segments. Portions of the cathodeconnecting conductors are offset and are disposed within grooves or depressions in an insulating sheet or are embedded in an insulating layer where the cathode elements cross them. A slotted insulating sheet is disposed between the cathode elements and the anodes, the slots being aligned with the cathodes, and the assembly is sealed in a gaseous atmosphere at a suitable pressure.
