Abstract

The gas discharge panel according to the present invention includes a pair of substrates, a plurality of barrier ribs, a sealing member, and two gas flow barriers. One of the substrates has a first vent hole and a second vent hole provided in a peripheral portion thereof for intercommunication between the inside and outside of the panel. The at least two gas flow barriers are provided between the sealing member and the barrier ribs located on opposite sides of an arrangement of the barrier ribs so that a gas introduced from the first vent hole flows through inter-rib spaces defined between adjacent pairs of barrier ribs and is expelled from the second vent hole.
