Gas-discharge display panel having a third group of electrodes forming control discharge spaces

摘要

A gas-discharge display panel includes a third group of electrodes in addition to the first and second groups of electrodes found in a conventional gas-discharge display panel. A series of control discharge spaces are respectively formed at those positions where the third group of electrodes mate with the first group of electrodes. The voltage applied to the first group of electrodes is controlled by utilizing the constant-voltage characteristics of the cells formed between the first and third groups of electrodes.
