ABSTRACT:
A gas discharge device having at least one dielectric charge storage member the gaseous medium contacting surface of which consists of a low operating voltage material. The material is used in an amount sufficient to increase the operating life span of the device and/or stabilize the operating voltages of the device. An interface and addressing means is connected to a pair of opposed electrode arrays to energize a plurality of discharge cells, each cell including proximate electrode portions of at least one electrode in each opposed array, said dielectric charge storage member insulating at least one of said proximate electrode portions from said gas. A cell and associated circuitry present a capacitive impedance to a voltage pulse applied by the interface and addressing means to the electrode portions to generate a relatively slow rise time leading edge on said voltage pulse for improved addressing of said cell. The addressing of the cell is further improved by turning on a keyer pulser near the end of the voltage pulse to generate a relatively fast rise time leading edge increased magnitude portion on the voltage pulse.
