Abstract
Abstract A discharge display apparatus includes a plurality of first address electrodes (1) and a plurality of second address electrodes (2) both of which are disposed adjacent to each other so as to cross each other through a partition (6) and memory electrodes (3, 4) which have a plurality of apertures provided therethrough and are entirely covered with respective insulating layers (3a, 4a). The plurality of first and second address electrodes (1, 2) and the memory electrode (3, 4) are successively laminated and sealed into a tube body having discharge gas.
