Abstract
A flat gas discharge panel comprising two opposed glass plates sealed with a space for gas therebetween and having a plurality of first and second electrodes, respectively mounted on opposite plates in a matrix fashion and further including a plurality of parallel insulator ribs which intersect the first electrodes at right angles and further provide physical separation between the glass plates and the adjacent discharge segments. A plurality of parallel barrier electrodes are mounted on one of the plates in alignment with the insulator ribs so as to maintain the glow from an illuminated section isolated from adjacent sections, and at least two different phosphors for emitting different color lights are mounted in the sections at different positions.

A flat panel display apparatus comprising:
- a first insulator plate, a second insulator plate, a plurality of first parallel electrodes attached to said first plate, a plurality of parallel barrier ribs mounted on said first plate over said plurality of first electrodes, said barrier ribs intersecting said first electrodes and projecting toward said second plate to define a plurality of parallel band spaces, a plurality of second parallel electrodes attached to said second plate, said second electrodes being parallel with said barrier ribs and positioned in said band spaces respectively, at least two different phosphors emitting different color lights, a first of said at least two different phosphors being mounted in a first position of a first band space, a second of said at least two different phosphors being mounted in a second position of a second band space which is different than a first position of said second band space corresponding to the first position in said first band space, the edges of said first and second plates being sealed, and a gas capable of glowing when charged between said first and second plates.
A flat panel display apparatus comprising:
- a. first and second insulator plates spaced by parallel barrier ribs on said first plate, a band space being formed between adjacent ribs;
- b. a first set of parallel electrodes on said first plate and a second set of parallel electrodes on said second plate arranged at an angle with respect to said first set of electrodes;
- c. a set of first color phosphors arranged at a set of first positions in a first band space;
- and
- d. a set of second color phosphors arranged at a set of second positions in a second band space different from a set of first positions in said second band space corresponding to said set of first positions in said first band space.
