Abstract

Abstract A plasma addressed display device comprising a display cell comprising a first substrate having transparent electrodes arranged in a column on an inner surface, a microsheet glass adhered at a gap to the first substrate and a liquid crystal layer held in the gap and a plasma cell comprising a second substrate having discharge electrodes arranged in a row and a plurality of barrier ribs to an inner surface and an ionizable gas sealed between the second substrate and the microsheet glass, wherein the second substrate is adhered to the lower surface of the microsheet glass by way of a bonding material disposed between barrier ribs situated to the outer side and barrier ribs situated to an inner side thereof, the first substrate is adhered to the upper surface of the microsheet glass by way of an adhesive material disposed being aligned with the bonding material, and the adhesive material has such a sealing width as extending over the sealing width of the bonding material and extending for the distance between the barrier rib situated outer side and the barrier rib situated inner side. The strength of the microsheet glass separating the plasma cell and the display cell is compensated by the adhesive material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 216 words
A plasma addressed display device, comprising; a display cell comprising a first substrate having transparent electrodes arranged in a column direction on an inner surface, a microsheet glass adhered spaced at a gap to the first substrate and a liquid crystal layer held in the gap; and a plasma cell comprising a second substrate having discharge electrodes arranged in a row direction and a plurality of barrier ribs to an inner surface and an ionizable gas sealed between the second substrate and the microsheet glass, wherein said second substrate is adhered to a lower surface of the microsheet glass by a bonding material disposed between barrier ribs situated to an outer side and barrier ribs situated to an inner side thereof, said bonding material extending between said second substrate and said microsheet glass, said first substrate is adhered to an upper surface of the microsheet glass by an adhesive material disposed in alignment with the bonding material, and said adhesive material being of a sealing width at least as great as a sealing width of the bonding material and said sealing width of said adhesive material extending for a distance between the barrier rib situated to said outer side of said bonding material and the barrier rib situated to said inner side of said bonding material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 216 words
A plasma addressed display device, comprising; a display cell comprising a first substrate having transparent electrodes arranged in a column direction on an inner surface, a microsheet glass adhered spaced at a gap to the first substrate and a liquid crystal layer held in the gap; and a plasma cell comprising a second substrate having discharge electrodes arranged in a row direction and a plurality of barrier ribs to an inner surface and an ionizable gas sealed between the second substrate and the microsheet glass, wherein said second substrate is adhered to a lower surface of the microsheet glass by a bonding material disposed between barrier ribs situated to an outer side and barrier ribs situated to an inner side thereof, said bonding material extending between said second substrate and said microsheet glass, said first substrate is adhered to an upper surface of the microsheet glass by an adhesive material disposed in alignment with the bonding material, and said adhesive material being of a sealing width at least as great as a sealing width of the bonding material and said sealing width of said adhesive material extending for a distance between the barrier rib situated to said outer side of said bonding material and the barrier rib situated to said inner side of said bonding material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
A plasma addressed display device as defined in claim 1, wherein the bonding material is of a thickness in a direction perpendicular to said microsheet glass that is smaller than a height of the barrier ribs of the plasma cell.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
A plasma addressed display device as defined in claim 2, wherein the adhesive material has a thickness in a direction perpendicular to said microsheet glass greater than the gap of the display cell.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 29 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim 21 words
A plasma addressed display device as defined in claim 1, wherein the adhesive material is made of a UV-curable adhesive material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 19 words
A plasma addressed display device as defined in claim 1, wherein the bonding material is made of glass frit.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 21 words
A plasma addressed display device as defined in claim 1, wherein the display cell has spacer particles dispersed in the gap.
