Abstract
A plasma panel includes a front faceplate and a rear faceplate between which are constituted cells. The two faceplates are assembled together by bracing means which determine the distance between the two faceplates. The plasma panel further includes barriers arranged between the two faceplates, and serving in particular to prevent the discharges of one cell from extending to the other neighboring cells. The invention is characterized in that the height of the barriers is less than the distance between the faceplates. This arrangement provides a conditioning effect to the cells to thereby enabling them to be activated more speedily. The invention is in particular applicable to plasma panels using luminophores of different colours.
