Patent ID: 7623093

Claim:
An array display apparatus, comprising: a plurality of light-emitting tubes, which each have a fluorescent substance layer inside and are arrayed parallel to each other and along a display surface at least a part of which has a curvature; a front surface supporting member and a back surface supporting member, which support the light-emitting tubes by sandwiching the light-emitting tubes and extend over on the side of the display surface and on the side of a back surface, respectively; a plurality of display electrodes, which are formed on a surface opposite to the light-emitting tubes of the front surface supporting member and extend in a direction in which the display electrodes span the light-emitting tubes; a plurality of signal electrodes, which are formed on a surface opposite to the light-emitting tubes of the back surface supporting member in a manner corresponding to each of the light-emitting tubes and extend in a direction along the light-emitting tubes; and a luminance adjusting section which adjusts luminance by each of the light-emitting tubes according to a partial curvature of the display surface, and wherein the luminance adjusting section includes a feature that the display electrodes have such an electrode structure that transmittance differs depending on the partial curvature of the display surface.
