Abstract
A gas discharge display and the method of making same utilizing integrated circuit fabrication techniques. The display is manufactured from heat and pressure resistant planar substrates in which cavities are etched, by integrated circuit manufacturing techniques, so as to provide individual pixels. Orthogonal electrodes are deposited on the substrates and extend into the cavities. The cavities are filled with gas discharge materials, such as plasma, upon energization of the electrodes the individual cavities forming the pixels may be individually activated.
