Abstract

Disclosed is a display panel and method of making the panel. The panel is made up of a thin, flat envelope comprising a base plate and a face plate and including a relatively large-volume gas reservoir formed by an auxiliary plate spaced from and hermetically secured to the outer surface of the base plate. The reservoir communicates with the interior of the panel through one or more holes in the base plate. The reservoir is attached to the panel, and the panel is processed by a method which includes maintaining proper temperature distribution through the various parts of the panel.
