In a cold cathode ray discharge apparatus of the class comprising a first electrode acting as an anode, a plurality of second electrodes acting as cathodes, and an envelope containing the first and second electrodes and filled with a luminous inert gas, at least a portion of the envelope being transparent, there are provided insulator spacer means disposed between the first and second electrodes, the spacer means being provided with a plurality of perforations which form discrete discharge cells, a plurality of starting cathode electrodes disposed between the first and second electrodes, a plurality of starting anode electrodes disposed between the first electrode and the starting cathode electrodes and a plurality of resistors respectively connected to the second electrodes. Each ones of the second electrodes, the starting cathode electrodes, the starting anode electrodes cooperate with the first electrode and the spacer means to constitute a display unit. Responsive to a pattern signal an electric discharge is established between the starting anode and the starting cathode and then the discharge is transferred to between the first and second electrode thereby the display apparatus manifests a memory function. |
