Abstract
A channel member for a PALC panel includes a transparent plate having a planar surface and first and second electrodes on the planar surface of the transparent plate. The first electrode has a width in the range 35-90 .mu.m and a height in the range 0.5-30 .mu.m and the second electrode has a width in the range 30-70 .mu.m and a height in the range 0.5-30 .mu.m. A rib is attached to the first electrode and has a width in the range 15-40 .mu.m, a height in the range 80-200 .mu.m and a ratio of height to width of at least about 5:1.
Claims3
A channel member for a PALC panel, comprising:
- a transparent plate having a planar surface,
- at least first and second electrodes on the planar surface of the transparent plate, the first electrode having a width in the range 35-90 .mu.m and a height in the range 0.5-30 .mu.m and the second electrode having a width in the range 30-70 .mu.m and a height in the range 0.5-30 .mu.m, and
- a rib attached to the first electrode and having a width in the range 15-40 .mu.m, a height in the range 80-200 .mu.m and a ratio of height to width of at least about 5:1.
A channel member for a PALC panel, comprising:
- a transparent plate having a planar surface,
- first and second anodes and a cathode on the planar surface of the transparent plate, the first and second anodes each having a width in the range 35-90 .mu.m and a height in the range 0.5-30 .mu.m and the cathode being between the first and second anodes and having a width in the range 30-70 .mu.m and a height in the range 0.5-30 .mu.m, and
- first and second ribs attached to the first and second anodes respectively and each having a width in the range 15-40 .mu.m, a height in the range 80-200 .mu.m and a ratio of height to width of at least about 5:1.
A PALC panel including a channel member and a cover sheet sealed to the channel member, wherein the channel member comprises:
- a transparent plate having a planar surface,
- a plurality of parallel strip-form anodes on the planar surface of the transparent plate, each anode having a width in the range 35-90 .mu.m and a height in the range 0.5-30 .mu.m,
- a plurality of parallel strip-form cathodes on the planar surface of the transparent plate, parallel to the anodes, each cathode being between two adjacent anodes and having a width in the range 30-70 .mu.m and a height in the range 0.5-30 .mu.m, and
- a plurality of ribs attached to the anodes respectively and each having a width in the range 15-40 .mu.m, a height in the range 80-200 .mu.m and a ratio of height to width of at least about 5:1.
