<p>SEGMENTED GAS DISCHARGE DISPLAY PANEL DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME; A gaseous breakdown display device is disclosed which comprises a dielectric substrate, information display cathode electrodes on the dielectric substrate and conductors connecting the cathode elements to edge terminals on one side of the dielectric substrate. The cathode electrodes and conductors are printed with a conductive ink on the dielectric substrate and at least the conductive ink of the cathode electrodes have incorporated therein a sputter-resistant material in powder form selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, tungsten boride, nickel boride, molybdenum disilicide, chromium boride and molybdenum boride. A viewing plate is provided which has at least one transparent anode electrode on the viewing plate and over the cathode electrode with a spacer sealant means joining the viewing plate to the dielectric substrate in sealing engagement therewith and a gaseous display medium is provided between the anode and cathode electrodes. The spacer sealant is also provided by printing on the dielectric substrate. A capsule of mercury provided between the viewing plate and substrate prior to sealing the device is broken by directing a laser beam through the sealed device.</p> |
