Abstract
There is disclosed a multiple gaseous discharge display/memory panel having an electrical memory and capable of producing a visual display, the panel being charcterized by an ionizable gaseous medium in a gas chamber formed by a pair of opposed dielectric material charge storage members which are respectively backed by an array of conductor (electrode) members, the conductor array behind each dielectric material member being appropriately oriented with respect to the conductor array behind the opposing dielectric material member so as to define a plurality of discrete discharge volumes constituting a discharge unit, the surface of at least one dielectric material member having at least one inorganic non-oxide aluminum compound applied thereto in an amount sufficient to provide improved panel operating characteristics, especially stable panel operating voltages which do not significantly change with panel operating time. In addition to display/memory panels comprising opposed dielectric members, it is contemplated using this invention with display/memory panels having only one insulated electrode and/or only one dielectric member such as in a monolithic type device.
