摘要:
Microplasma generators and associated arrays and methods are described herein. Certain embodiments relate to a microplasma generator in which an elongated semiconductor structure can control electronic cun'ent supplied to a microplasma cavity. Plasmas can be created by supplying energy to a neutral gas so that free electrons and ions are created. In a thermal plasma, electrons, ions, and neutral atoms and/or molecules (referred to as “neutrals”) are in thermal equilibrium

In a discharge tube of the present invention, a filler gas is composed of a mixture of inert gas and hydrogen gas and an airtight cylinder 10 in which the filler gas is enclosed in an airtight manner is provided. A pair of first and second discharge electrodes 22 and 24 are opposed to each other within an internal space of the airtight cylinder, so that an electric discharge is generated between discharging surfaces of the first and second discharge electrodes. In the discharge tube, a concentration of the hydrogen gas in the filler gas is set in a range from 20 percent by volume to 80 percent by volume.

A DC type gas-discharge display panel comprises a plurality of discharge cells; discharge current limiting means provided for each of the discharge cells, for limiting a discharge current of each of said discharge cells; and a filling gas filled into each of said discharge cells, and having an inert gas mixture. A partial pressure ratio of said inert gas mixture to total pressure of said filling gas is at least 0.95. The above-described inert gas mixture is selected from the group consisting of (1) a first gas mixture consisting of a He gas and a Xe gas, (2) a second gas mixture consisting of a He gas, a Xe gas, and a Kr gas, (3) a third gas mixture consisting of a Ne gas and a Xe gas, and (4) a fourth gas mixture consisting of a Ne gas, a Xe gas and a Kr gas. Assuming now that the total pressure of said filling gas is "p" Torr, a partial pressure ratio of said Xe gas to the total pressure of said filling gas is "x", and also partial pressure ratio of said Kr gas to the total pressure of said filling gas is "k", when said inert gas mixture corresponds to said first gas mixture, a condition of 0.01.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.5, a condition of p.ltoreq.600, and another condition of xp.sup.5 .gtoreq.1.4.multidot.10.sup.11 are satisfied; when said inert gas mixture corresponds to said second gas mixture, a condition of 0.01.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.5, a condition of 0
摘要:
A fluorescent gas-discharge color display panel, in which a fluorescent material is excited by a gas-discharge therein, contains a three-component gas mixture of neon, argon and xenon as the discharge gas. Typically, the argon gas component is in the range of from approximately 5 percent to approximately 80 percent, and that of the xenon gas from a minimum sufficient to maintain the Penning effect up to approximately 10 percent. The argon gas component contributes to the gas mixture producing a pure and high peak of green light spectrum and reduces the orange light spectrum emitted directly by the neon gas discharges. Other characteristics, such as operating voltages, brightness, luminous efficacy, and the panel operating life, are satisfactorily maintained. The improved color purity is advantageous for both single and multiple color display by the excited fluorescent material or materials.
摘要:
Highly efficient binary and ternary gas mixtures for use in diffuse glow discharge closing switches are disclosed. The binary mixtures are combinations of helium or neon and selected perfluorides. The ternary mixtures are combinations of helium, neon, or argon, a selected perfluoride, and a small amount of gas that exhibits enhanced ionization characteristics. These mixtures are shown to be the optimum choices for use in diffuse glow discharge closing switches by virtue of the combined physio-electric properties of the mixture components.
摘要:
With respect to a vacuum tube having a reduced pressure vessel containing an electric discharge gas sealed therein, problems such as the lowering of discharge efficiency owing to an organic material, moisture or oxygen remaining in the reduced pressure vessel have taken place conventionally. It has been now found that the selection of the number of water molecules, the number of molecules of an organic gas and the number of oxygen molecules remaining in the reduced pressure vessel, in a relation with the number of molecules of a gas contributing the electric discharge allows the reduction of the adverse effect by the above-mentioned remaining gas. Specifically, the selection of the number of molecules of the above electric discharge gas being about ten times that of the above-mentioned remaining gas or more can reduce the adverse effect by the above-mentioned remaining gas.
