Abstract
Abstract A discharge promotion member for a discharge display device consisting of a conductive plate which is provided with a plurality of apertures therethrough, and an insulating porous layer formed on the surface of the conductive plate. The discharge promotion member is located between a cathode and an anode or the like of the discharge display device in which a glow light discharge is carried out through the aperture of the discharge promotion member by a plasma discharge between the cathode and anode of the discharge display device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A discharge promotion member for discharge display device having spaced anodes and cathodes mounted within an envelope comprising: a conductor plate mounted between said anodes and cathodes; a plurality of apertures bored through said conductor plate; an insulating layer formed on the surface of said conductor plate; said insulating layer being porous to electrons and ions, and an ionizing gas within said envelope so that the conductor plate with said insulating layer is located in a plasma space.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
