PURPOSE:To simplify the structure of the panel of a gas discharge type display device and to attain the longer life, higher luminance and lower electric power consumption thereof. CONSTITUTION:This gas discharge type display device is constituted by providing the surface of an insulating substrate 1 with striped anode 4 groups having resistors 2 and electrode bodies 3 and striped auxiliary anode 5 groups parallel with the anode 4 groups, covering these anode 4 groups with insulator layers 6, orthogonally arranging striped cathode 8 groups disposed on a transmissive glass substrate 7 opposite to these anode 4 groups and auxiliary anode 5 groups, forming discharge cells 10 enclosing the respective opposite spaces of the anode 4 groups and the cathode 8 groups by partition walls 9 and auxiliary discharge cells 11 communicating with the discharge cells 10 in the opposite spaces of the auxiliary anodes 5 and the cathode 8 groups and disposing discharge holes 12 in such a manner that the electrode bodies 3 of the anodes 4 are at least partly exposed from the insulator layers 6. Auxiliary discharge pulses are impressed respectively via resistor 13 groups to the striped auxiliary anode 5 groups. Charging pulses of a high voltage and narrow width are impressed to the auxiliary anode 5 groups. |
