Gas plasma panel

Claim 1

A plasma display device comprising: an ionizable gas disposed between two sidewalls of dielectric material, each sidewall having an inside surface closest to the ionizable gas, each inner surface having an array of electrodes disposed on the surface wherein the electrodes of one sidewall are positioned substantially perpendicular to the electrodes positioned on the other sidewall, thereby forming pixel points where they cross; said electrodes and substrates being coated with a second dielectric layer; said second dielectric layer coated with an electrically emissive material; wherein the improvement comprises an electrically conductive dopant material introduced into the second dielectric layer's surface adjacent to the emissive layer, said electrically conductive material being so configured about the electrode pixel point so as to concentrate the wall charge about said point and prevent said charge from spreading along the second dielectric's surface.
