ABSTRACT:
A field controlled plasma discharge display element is disclosed for use in single element and multiple element plasma displays. The display element includes a pair of hollow discharge electric field electrodes, and a third electrode positioned external to and aligned with the discharge electric field electrodes for generating a control electric field proximate to the discharge electric field. The control electric field is used to control the intensity of the plasma discharge by distorting the shape of the generated discharge electric field. In a multiple element plasma display using a plurality of the individual display elements of the present invention arrayed in a matrix configuration, a control means is used to control activation and intensity of individual display elements. Individual ones of the elements in the matrix are addressed by a switching circuit including orthogonal control lines in order to instigate a plasma discharge.
