Abstract: Gas discharge display apparatus comprising a plurality of hollow cathodes and associated anodes enclosed in a gastight envelope with an ionizable gas. The hollow cathodes are arranged in a predetermined pattern in order that ignition of gas discharges in the hollow portions of selected cathodes provides the desired display. The anodes are proximate to the hollow portions of the cathodes and the hollow portions have a depth such that only cathode glow discharges substantially confined thereto may occur. Thus, sputtered cathodic material is substantially confined to the interiors of the hollow portions. The anodes are disposed adjacent the hollow portions of the cathodes but exterior thereof for minimizing interelectrode short-circuiting due to sputtering. An individual display light source having a hollow cathode member and a transparent member sealed to the cathode member enclosing the hollow portion thereof and an associated anode with an ionizable gas is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention comprises a process of manufacturing cold cathode gas discharge devices. A unitary metal electrode structure is inserted through a glass support, the metal and glass having the same coefficient of thermal expansion. The support and electrode structure are heated in the presence of oxygen to effect a seal therebetween. The gas discharge device is completed without removing the oxide coating formed on the electrode surfaces of the structure during the heating step. The resulting gas discharge device, which may be used for display purposes, has a stable oxide coating on electrodes thereof that attenuates display distorting reflections.
