Abstract

A gas discharge panel to increase the illuminance efficiency and a method of manufacturing includes providing a plurality of cells arranged in a matrix between a pair of substrates. Pairs of display electrodes are arranged on an inner surface of one of the substrates and include two bus lines lying parallel to each other with one or more inner protrusions arranged within each cell relative to the bus lines. This arrangement provides a relatively short discharge gap between the pair of display electrodes.
