Abstract
A light emission display having a housing including at least two glass members thermally glued to one another at a predetermined atmospheric pressure to form a plurality of cavities inside the housing, and at least one of a gas and a light emitting substance contained within the cavities. Electrodes are located between the glass members and protrude into each cavity in only a coplanar manner with respect to a main surface of one of the glass members. An input signal is supplied to the electrodes resulting in selective light emission from the cavities.
Claims22
A light emission display, comprising:
- a housing including at least two glass members, thermally glued to one another at a predetermined atmospheric pressure to form a plurality of cavities inside said housing;
- at least one of a gas and a light emitting substance contained within said cavities;
- electrodes located between said glass members, wherein said electrodes protrude into each cavity in only a coplanar manner with respect to a main surface of one of said glass members, and wherein when a sufficient voltage is applied to said electrodes, said at least one of a gas and light emitting substance contained within said cavities causes a discharge light emission;
- and
- wherein an input signal is supplied to said electrodes resulting in selective light emission from said cavities.
A method for producing a display, comprising:
- forming recesses in a first glass member for constructing cavities for enclosing at least one of a gas and a light emitting substance;
- locating electrodes between said first glass member and a second glass member, wherein said electrodes protrude into each cavity in only a coplanar manner with respect to a main surface of one of said glass members, and wherein when a sufficient voltage is applied to said electrodes, said at least one of a gas and a light emitting substance contained within said cavities causes a discharge light emission;
- and
- thermally gluing the glass members to one another at a predetermined atmospheric pressure.
A light emission display, comprising:
- a housing including at least two glass members thermally glued to one another at a predetermined atmospheric pressure to form a plurality of cavities inside said housing;
- at least one of a gas and a light emitting substance contained within said cavities;
- electrodes located between said glass members and protruding into each cavity;
- and
- a light reflective film formed on a surface portion of an inner wall of each said cavity opposite to a display side of said housing;
- wherein an input signal is supplied to said electrodes resulting in selective light emission from said cavities.
