Abstract
Electrode configurations for a plasma-shell gas discharge device having one or more substrates and a multiplicity of pixels or sub-pixels that are defined by a hollow plasma-shell having at least one flat side and filled with an ionizable gas. Two or more addressing electrodes are in electrical contact with each plasma-shell, at least one electrode being in contact with a flat side of the plasma-shell.
Claims10
In a single substrate gas discharge device comprised of multiple gas discharge pixels, each pixel being in electrical contact with two or more addressing electrodes, the improvement wherein each pixel comprises a hollow plasma-shell filled with an ionizable gas, each plasma-shell having one or more flat sides, at least one electrode being in electrical contact with a flat side of a plasma-shell, each plasma-shell being located on the surface of the single substrate, each plasma-shell being partially or wholly made of a luminescent substance, and an organic or inorganic luminescent substance being located on the external surface of each plasma shell.
