ABSTRACT:
In a plasma type display panel of the type having a plurality of parallel row and parallel column electrical conductors forming an array of matrix cross points for providing discrete discharge and light emitting sites upon selection and addressing one or more said sites by selection and addressing circuit means electrically connected to the panel conductors, an improved method and apparatus for providing all or part of the selection and addressing circuit means in one or more high density thick film circuit modules adapted to be detachably engaged with the panel and having conductors thereon in superposed relationship with the parallel panel conductors. The improvement further comprising a plurality of electrically conductive and compressible elastomeric pads interposed between the panel conductors and the module conductors for providing electrical interconnections of the panel conductors and the circuit modules when the circuit modules engage the panel and for providing a simultaneous disconnection of said interconnections when the modules are disengaged from the panel. In one embodiment of the invention a mounting means is provided for detachably receiving both the display panel and the circuit modules while in another embodiment the circuit modules are detachably affixed on the display panel itself. The invention greatly reduces the number of wire leads normally required for making electrical connections to the panel and in addition allows the circuit modules to be easily and rapidly removed and replaced without the use of any conductor bonding or precision alignment devices.
