Abstract
In a plasma display panel consisting of gas enclosed between adjacent insulating members having conductors thereon insulated from the gas, a light source in the panel is used to condition all cells to permit selected orthogonal conductors to constitute a display. The light source is actuated prior to a write operation by a high frequency signal whereby all areas of the panel are simultaneously conditioned. The light source may comprise one or more pilot cells positioned adjacent to but not within the display areas. By conditioning all cells simultaneously, higher speed and uniform selection operation is effected.
