Abstract

A gas discharge panel provides one or more shift channels for discharge spots, said shift channel (s) being composed of 2 or more electrode groups on each of a pair of substrates arranged oppositely across a discharge gap. Electrodes of each group are provided alternately and periodically on each substrate with the electrode patterns on each substrate such as to define said shift channel(s). The electrode layout eliminates the need for crossover areas in the leading out of electrodes and is very useful for realizing high resolution and low cost AC driven self-shift plasma display panels.
