PURPOSE:To remove the diffusion of discharge into an adjacent discharge cell without degrading the luminous intensity of each discharge cell by applying write voltage between an electrode on the first substrate on which a free conductor is arranged and an opposed electrode when the former electrode is relatively a positive polarity. CONSTITUTION:When the write discharge of a selected discharge cell is performed by applying the voltage of a negative write level -Vw to the Y electrode 2' of a display both sides second electrode substrate 11' so that their combined voltages¦Vs+Vw¦can exceed the discharge start voltage, a great number of charges are attracted at the side of an X electrode 2 to which the positive voltage of a discharge cell formed at the intersection of the electrode and the wall charge is spread, but the spreading of the charge is weakened by a free conductor 21 provided at the side of the X electrode 2 and is regulated not so as to arrive at an adjacent discharge cell. On the other hand, a positive ion is attracted to the side of the Y electrode 2' to which negative voltage is applied, but an event that discharge is spread by such a positive ion is hard to occur. |
