<p>A display panel comprises a gas-filled envelope made up of a base plate and a face plate sealed together hermetically. The base plate is provided with a plurality of parallel, longitudinal slots, and an anode wire is disposed in each of the slots in the base plate. A metal strip is wound on the base plate and then cut to form an array of strip cathode electrodes on the base plate and oriented at an angle to the anode wires, the anodes and cathodes defining rows and columns of gas-filled cells. The face plate carries a series of parallel depressions overlying and aligned with rows of selected ones of the cells which comprise display cells, and a thin film of black insulating material is provided on the face plate covering all but the depressions in the face plate.</p> |
