ABSTRACT:
A gas discharge display panel may be used for display purposes despite the presence of open conductors in the panel. Four termination areas, each including a plurality of repair pads are provided, one at each end of each of the two conductor arrays in the panel. One end of each conductor in each array is connected to a respective repair pad in the adjacent termination area. A repair cable having a plurality of conductors runs from the termination area at one end of a conductor array to the termination area at the other end of the array. To repair an open, opposite ends of a respective repair cable conductor are connected to the open conductor's repair pads.
By virtue of the connection of the opposite ends of a repair cable conductor to the open conductor's repair pads, both ends of the open conductor are electrically connected. When an open conductor is energized at one end, the entire body of the open conductor is at the same electrical potential despite the presence of the open. In a preferred embodiment, the repair cable comprises a plurality of conductors partially embedded in a thermosetting adhesive.
