Display device

A display device comprising:

• a gas filled double walled enclosure having first and second walls and a space between the first and seconds walls, the enclosure having a hollow interior which is separated from the space between the walls by the first wall, the enclosure containing an ionizable gas in the space between the first and seconds walls;
• a pair of electrodes disposed in electrical communication with the gas contained in the enclosure;
• and
• an electrical signal source for applying an electrical signal across the electrodes for ionizing the gas within the enclosure to provide an electrical discharge along a path from one electrode to the other;
• the display device further comprising a grounding conductor disposed adjacent the first wall and within the hollow interior of the enclosure, within a proximity of the first wall to draw the electrical discharge in the direction toward the conductor.
