Application No. 08/149,627
intervening claims. Accordingly, claims 1 through 15 and 17
remain before us on appeal.
The disclosed invention relates to the use of adhesive
spacers in a predetermined pattern between a glass substrate
and an intermediate sheet in the liquid crystal cell portion
of a plasma addressed liquid crystal display device.
Claim 1 is the only independent claim on appeal, and it
reads as follows:
1. A plasma addressed liquid crystal display device,
comprising:
a first substrate having a plurality of striped data
electrodes formed substantially in parallel on a
major surface thereof;
a second substrate opposed to the first substrate and
having a plurality of discharge electrodes in a
direction perpendicular to the data electrodes;
an intermediate sheet positioned between the first and
second substrates, so that a discharge chambeer is
formed between the intermediate sheet and the second
substrate;
a plurality of barrier ribs of which top surfaces make
contact with one side of the intermediate sheet, to
form a contacting pattern of the barrier ribs, said
barrier ribs forming recesses therebetween for
containing gas; and
an adhesive spacer provided between the first substrate
and the intermediate sheet to determine a thickness
of liquid crystal layer, said adhesive spacer having a
