Patent ID: 7259508

Claim:
A mini plasma display, comprising in combination: (a) semiconductor substrate, (b) gas containment cavity array formed in said semiconductor substrate, (c) ionization slots each cavity in row direction wherein said ionization slots allow sustained glow discharge at activated gas cavity extending ionization to immediately preceding and immediately succeeding cavities in the row therein, (d) columnar electrodes interconnecting gas cavities in groups, (e) row electrodes orthogonal to columnar electrodes interconnecting gas cavities in groups, (f) hermetic sealing and gas filling means, (g) pulsed electronic circuit enabling means providing electrical activation of selected column and selected row electrodes wherein luminous glow discharge is established in gas containment cavity at crossover of said electrodes for start of frame period of video raster scan wherein electrical activation of said luminous glow discharge is triggered in timed relation to standard television broadcast signals, (h) pulsed electronic circuit enabling means providing electrical activation of selected column electrode groups and selected row electrode groups imparting sequential bistable transfer of an established luminous glow discharge along a row triggered in timed relation to standard television broadcast signals, (i) pulsed electronic circuit enabling means providing electrical activation of selected column electrode groups and selected row electrode groups providing synchronized electrical activation of frame initiation and luminous glow discharge scan transfer along a row triggered in timed relation to standard television broadcast signals, wherein the improvement is a method for eliminating orthogonal X-Y addressing as well as improved structure for the construction of a mini display panel of the plasma type.
