PURPOSE:To increase the brightness of a plane gas discharge panel, with the arrangement of parts not to obstruct the discharge light by furnishing a selection electrode under the maintenance electrodes, and forming a display cell at the crossing part of the selection electrode and a pair of the maintenance electrodes which are situated on the upper layer of the selection electrode and adjacent to it. CONSTITUTION:A selection electrode 5 is longitudinally, provided on a lower base plate 1, and over it plural pairs of maintenance electrodes 2 and 3, which consist of two pieces as a pair, are transversely arranged through a dielectric layer 6. And further its upperside is covered by a surface layer and an upper base plate is arranged spacing a gas space (b), thus a plane gas discharge panel is constituted. And a display cell (d) is formed by an expanded part (u) of the selection electrode 5 and display electrode parts (x) and (y) of the maintenance electrode pair 2 and 3. Driving is carried out in such a way that in the case of addressing the discharge between the electrode parts (u) and (x) is utilized, and in the case of display alternative discharge between the electrode parts (u) and (x) or (y) is utilized so as to give one dot display. Thus, its luminous efficiency is increased and a display having very high brightness can be obtained. |
