Abstract:
A plasma flat-panel display comprising:a first transparent substrate; at least one pair of parallel sustaining electrodes deposited upon said first substrate; at least one control electrode deposited upon said first substrate parallel to and coplanar with said sustaining electrodes, said control electrode being physically displaced and electrically isolated from said sustaining electrodes; a layer formed from a dielectric material covering said sustaining and control electrodes; a second substrate which is hermetically sealed to said first substrate, said second substrate having a plurality of micro-voids formed in a surface thereof which is adjacent to said first substrate, said micro-voids generally perpendicular to said sustaining and control electrodes and cooperating with said first substrate to define a plurality of sub-pixels; a gas filling said micro-voids; and a plurality of address electrodes incorporated within said second substrate, each of said address electrodes corresponding to one of said sub-pixels.
