SURFACE-DISCHARGE AC PLASMA COLOR PANEL Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: display engineering; video modules for television sets. SUBSTANCE: panel pixel and its display element have glow area formed by parallelograms whose dividing barriers and control electrodes disposed in parallel to them relative to adjacent lines are positioned at certain angle which makes it possible to remove highlighter bar between adjacent display elements during preparation mode prior to addressing and vertical display and to reduce electric coupling between adjacent display elements, as well as to increase length of display element which enlarges phosphor area and enhances brightness. EFFECT: enhanced vertical contrast of displayed video information, brightness, and operating reliability. 3 cl, 6 dwg
