Abstract
A method is disclosed for the fabrication of a gas panel assembly with improved static and dynamic operating margins which includes depositing arrays of parallel lines as electrical conductors on a pair of glass plates, providing a dielectric layer over the parallel lines, baking out the respective glass plates in vacuum to eliminate residual gasses or impurities, depositing a layer of electron emissive refactory material over the dielectric of the glass plate assemblies at a prescribed elevated temperature range, and spacing the glass plates a specified distance apart with their arrays substantially orthogonal. This assembly is subsequently fired in an oven to seal the glass plates about their periphery while providing a chamber therebetween, the chamber evacuated and filled with an illuminable gas, the parallel lines at one end of each glass plate exposed for electrical contact and the electrical characteristics of the panel tested after fabrication.
