Method of connecting a plasma panel to the electrical power supply therefor in an image display device

摘要

The device comprises a metal support plate 1 supporting, on its front face, a plasma discharge panel provided with an array of pairs of adjacent electrodes 7, 8 and, on its rear face, a supply 13′; according to the invention, the connection ends of the electrodes 7, 8 of the same pair are located on opposed edges 5, 6 of the panel and the supply circuit for each pair of adjacent electrodes 7, 8 then forms a current loop which does not surround the metal plate 1. ;The electrical losses in this plate are thus limited, while obtaining an identical operation of the cells of the panel over the entire length of the electrodes.
