Abstract
A luminous display device is disclosed as including a transparent or translucent top body part having a rear surface; a bottom body part having a front side, a rear side, and a trough extending along at least part of the front side of the bottom body part to form a pre-defined pattern; in which the rear surface of the upper body part is in fused sealing relationship with the front side of the bottom body part to form a sealed discharge chamber between the trough and the upper body part; an ionizable gas filling the chamber; and two openings in the bottom body part each having a first end communicating with the chamber and a second end communicating with an electrode, the electrodes being energizable to ionize the gas in the chamber to produce light discharge of the pre-defined pattern.
Claims11
A luminous display device comprising:
- a non-opaque first member having a rear surface;
- a second member having a front side, a rear side, and at least a first trough member extending along at least part of said front side of said second member to form at least a first pre-defined pattern;
- wherein said rear surface of said first member is in fused sealing relationship with said front side of said second member to thereby form at least a first sealed discharge chamber between said first trough member and said first member;
- an ionizable gas filling said chamber;
- and
- at least a first opening in one of said first and second members having a first end communicating with said first chamber and a second end communicating with an electrode, said electrode being energizable to ionize said gas in said first chamber to produce light discharge of said at least first pre-defined pattern.
