PURPOSE:To manufacture a surface-discharge-type gas electric-discharge panel, which enables large display, with a high manufacturing yield without any need of a large-scale manufacturing plant. CONSTITUTION:A display panel 10 is principally constituted of a pair of large glass base plates 12 and 13, which form a plate-like sealed structure and are opposed to one another with an electric-discharge gas space 11 allowed between them, and a supporting base plate 21 used for panel reinforcement. Each of four glass base plates 121, 122, 123 and 124 is provided with a plural number of laterally extending Y-electrodes on it, and a plural number of vertically extending X-electrodes 16 are provided over the Y-electrodes 14, with an insulating vapordeposition film 15 made of borosilicate glass interposed between the Y-electrodes 14 and the X-electrodes 16. The second gas sealing space 23, which is continuous with the first gas charge space 11, is provided between the combination base plate 12 and the supporting base plate 21. Since the pressure of the space 23 is the same as that of the space 11, there is no fear that above combination base plate 12 deforms due to the external atmospheric pressure during either the exhaustion of the gas charge space 23 or actual display operation. |
