Abstract

PURPOSE: To stabilize a shift operation with eliminating crossover parts to make characteristics of discharge points, which depend upon face discharge, equivalent by providing two-phase busses and electrodes, which are regularly connected to them, on one substrate.

CONSTITUTION: Write electrode w1 and electrodes x1li and x2li, which are connected to busses X1 and X2, are formed on glass substrate 1, and are all covered with dielectric layer 2 such as low-melting-point glass, alkaline earth metal oxide and rare earth. Next, electrodes y1lj and y2lj, which are connected to busses Y1 and Y2, and write electrode w2 are provided on layer 2 so that these electrode cannot overlap electrodes y1li and x2li, and all the surface of these electrodes is covered with dielectric 3 using the same materials. Here, l, i and j indicate 1, 2 and 3. In this constitution, when the voltage is applied between busses X1 and Y1, X1 and Y2, X2 and Y2, and X2 and Y1 in order, characteristics of discharge points a, b, c and d are made equivalent, and the discharge spot is shifted stably. Then, discharge luminescence can be directly seen through no electrode, and discharge brightness is increased.
