Abstract: A gas panel arrangement for storing, displaying, and selectively shifting information from one place therein to another includes an envelope filled with an illuminable gas, a plurality of vertical conductors disposed in parallel on one side of the envelope, a plurality of horizontal conductors disposed in parallel on the opposite side of the envelope with the regions of illuminable gas in the vicinity of the coordinate intersections of the vertical and horizontal conductors defining gas cells, and a writing arrangement which inserts binary information in a given portion of the envelope by igniting or not igniting the illuminable gas to represent binary ones and zeros. In order to accomplish shifting a sequence of signals is repetitively supplied to sets of the vertical conductors to shift binary information horizontally from one gas cell to another, and a sequence of signals is repetitively supplied to sets of the horizontal conductors to shift binary information vertically from one gas cell to another.
