The display panel includes a gas-filled envelope made up of a base plate and a face plate hermetically sealed together. A cell sheet is disposed between the base plate and face plate, an array of cathode strips is disposed between the base plate and cell sheet, and an array of anodes is disposed between the face plate and cell sheet, with the anodes being disposed at an angle to the cathodes so that each crossing of an anode and cathode and the volume of gas between them define a display cell. The cell sheet includes slots which define rows of separate operating areas on each cathode. In addition, each cathode strip defines a column of operating cathode areas. The panel carries a mercury capsule, whether in the tubulation or in a convenient portion of the cell sheet, and the cell sheet is provided with channels or slots, in communication with the mercury capsule, to facilitate the dispersion of mercury throughout the panel.
