PANEL DISCHARGING WITHIN A PLURLITY OF CELLS LOCATED ON_A PAIR OF LINE ELECTRODES

摘要

A gas discharge panel capable of displaying a high-quality display by preventing erroneous discharging between adjacent rows in a sustaining electrode or the like. A sectional shape in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal directions of both a first display electrode (101a) and a second display electrode (101b) has a stepped shape, and a film thickness on a discharge gap (Gap 1) side portion is larger than that on a non-discharge gap (Gap 2) side portion with each step specified as L1, L2, L3 (L1>L2>L3) . Accordingly, a discharge start voltage on a discharge gap side is made lower than that on a non-discharge gap side even when the discharge gap and the non-discharge gap have the same width geometrically, making it difficult to cause erroneous discharging with respect an adjacent cell positioned on an adjacent line.
