Claims
- 1. The method of making a display panel comprising the steps of
- forming a plurality of parallel cathode strip electrodes on an insulating base plate,
- forming conductive runs on a glass face plate, said runs being thin, parallel conductive lines,
- screening an organo-metallic substance on said face plate in a pattern of parallel lines, each line being in contact with one of said conductive runs,
- baking said face plate to remove organic substances therefrom and to leave the metallic portion of said substance in said pattern as transparent anode lines which are in contact with said conductive runs,
- assembling said base plate and face plate so that said anode lines are disposed transverse to said cathode strips, with an apertured center sheet between the base plate and face plate, said center sheet subdividing said cathode strips into separate operating areas, and
- hermetically sealing together the base plate and face plate to form an envelope.
- 2. The method defined in claim 1 and including the step of filling said envelope with an ionizable gas.
- 3. The method defined in claim 1, wherein said baking step is carried out in air so that the metallic portion of said substance is oxidized.
- 4. The method defined in claim 1 wherein said conductive runs extends through the seal between the base plate and face plate to the outside of said envelope and said anode lines do not enter said seal but remain completely within said envelope.
- 5. The method of making a display panel comprising the steps of
- forming a plurality of cathode electrodes on an insulating base plate,
- screening an organo-metallic substance on a glass face plate in a plurality of patterns,
- baking said face plate to remove organic substances therefrom and to leave the metallic portion of said substance in said patterns as transparent anodes,
- assembling said base plate and face plate so that each of said anodes overlies and is in operative relation with at least one of said cathode electrodes, and
- hermetically sealing together the base plate and face plate to form an envelope.
- 6. The method of making a display panel comprising the steps of
- forming a plurality of cathode electrodes on an insulating base plate,
- forming a plurality of conductive areas on a glass face plate,
- screening an organo-metallic substance on said face plate in a plurality of patterns, each pattern being in contact with one of said conductive areas,
- baking said face plate to remove organic substances therefrom and to leave the metallic portion of said substance in said patterns as transparent anode areas which are in contact with said conductive areas,
- assembling said base plate and face plate so that each of said anode areas overlies and is in operative relation with at least one of said cathode electrodes, and
- hermetically sealing together the base plate and face plate to form an envelope.
