A gas discharge panel includes several pairs of column (X) electrodes arranged on a first substrate and several pairs of row (Y) electrodes arranged on a second substrate, the column and row electrodes being orthogonally oriented and in spaced, opposed relation to define therebetween a gap filled with an ionizable gas. In a first driving configuration, a corresponding electrode of each pair of (X) electrodes is selectively driven by an (X) address driver and similarly a corresponding one of each of the (Y) electrode pairs is selectively driven by a (Y) address driver. The other electrode of each of the (X) and (Y) electrode pairs then is connected in common to respective (X) and (Y) sustain voltage driver terminals. In a further embodiment, each of the (X) and (Y) electrode pairs is arranged in corresponding groups of electrode pairs, each group including a common number of such pairs. First electrodes of each pair of each group are connected to a common output terminal of an address and sustain voltage driver; thus, plural address and sustain voltage driver outputs corresponding to the plural groups are employed for each of the (X) and (Y) electrode pairs. The second electrodes of corresponding pairs of the plural groups are connected to respectively corresponding, further common output terminals of address and sustain voltage drivers; thus, a plurality of further common terminals corresponding to the number of electrode pairs in each group are provided, as to each of the (X) and (Y) electrodes. The panel as thus configured affords decoding of addressing signals applied to the common terminals by means of plasma coupling within the panel whereby the discharge point or cell defined by a desired electrode of each of the column and the row electrode pairs can be addressed selectively. A further embodiment provides shifting of the display to successive positions in either the (X) or (Y) directions. |
