Abstract: A.C. plasma display panel interrogating apparatus including coincident addressing means for applying an interrogation signal to selected rows and columns of the panel cells in combination with the sustaining signal which is normally applied thereto such that the resultant signal across the coincident cell remains at the sustaining level while at the non-coincident cells the signal strength decreases below the extinction value. This condition reduces the non-coincident cell outputs to zero with only the coincident cell providing a signal output indicative of its data storage state, thereby enabling readout to be performed with a respective current or photo sensor arranged to receive the signals from individual rows or columns of cells.

Abstract: A cold cathode gas discharge lamp having a ring of radially directed cathode elements on an electrically insulating substrate underlying a pair of concentric transparent ring anodes of different diameter for displaying aircraft heading and aircraft bearing (with respect to ground radio transmitters), respectively. Additional cathode elements are placed inside the aforesaid cathode rings on the same substrate underlying a third transparent anode for the display of alpha-numeric (distance) and annunciator data. Selected ones of the cathodes and anodes are energized to cause localized glow discharges viewable through the anodes for representing desired data.

Abstract: A gas discharge indicator comprising a cathode-supporting substrate and a parallel transparent anode spaced from and hermetically sealed to said substrate to contain an ionizable gas therebetween. Individual cathode segments having greater width than thickness are mounted on the tops of feed-through pins which penetrate the substrate in hermetically sealed relationship and extend beyond the opposite surfaces of the substrate whereby the individual cathode segments are spaced relative to the substrate as well as relative to the anode. The cathode-substrate spacing is such that the cathode segments glow only on the anode or viewable side of the cathode, thereby reducing the sputtering rate, and increasing the luminous efficiency. Additionally, a cup-shaped moat is formed in the cathode side of the substrate about each pin. The raised cathode and moat structure collectively and individually minimize the effects of sputtering and extend the operating life of the indicator.
