Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A plasma addressing electro-optical device comprising: a first substrate having a plurality of signal electrodes arranged substantially in parallel to each other on a major surface thereof; a second substrate opposed to said first substrate; an electro-optical material layer positioned between inner surfaces of said first and second substrates; and a discharge chamber formed between the electro-optical material layer and said second substrate and containing an ionizable gas, the second substrate having a plurality of plasma electrodes on a major surface thereof, the plasma electrodes being overlaid with an insulating material to provide plasma addressing units, which form scanning lines so that the overlapping regions of signal electrodes and plasma addressing units define dimensions of elements and wherein the polarity of adjacent ones of said plasma electrodes are reversed field by field.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
