Abstract:
A flat type plasma discharge display device, wherein a discharge sustaining electrode group arranged as a plurality of discharge sustaining electrodes and an address electrode group arranged as a plurality of address electrodes are formed on a common substrate or on mutually different substrates,at least one discharge start part for each one of said address electrodes and electrically connected to respective ones of said address electrodes and between consecutive ones of the discharge sustaining electrodes to form two plasma discharge parts with one plasma discharge part associated with one of the consecutive ones of the discharge sustaining electrodes and the at least one discharge start part and a remaining one of the plasma discharge parts being associated with a remaining one of the consecutive ones of the discharge sustaining electrodes and the at least one discharge start part, and an interval between each pair of the discharge sustaining electrodes in discharge sustaining relationship to each respective plasma discharge start part is set at less than 50 &mgr;m, and a plasma discharge display mainly by a cathode glow discharge is realized.
