Abstract
A gas discharge panel in which cell filled with a discharge gas are arranged as a matrix between a pair of opposed plates, and in which a pair of display electrodes on a surface of one of the pair of opposed plates extend across a plurality of cells in the direction of rows, where a gap between the pair of display electrodes has two discharge gap widths one of which is larger than the other. The voltage is lowered and the power consumption is properly restricted by starting the discharge at the discharge gap at a space having the smaller gap width. An excellent discharge efficiency is secured by sustaining the discharge at a space having the larger gap width.
