PALC display by a factor of three, the total number of
connections is decreased because the number of rows is lower
than the number of groups of pixels.
Claim 1, which is representative for present purposes,
follows:
1. A plasma-addressed colour display device
comprising:
a layer of electro-optical material (42) sandwiched
between elongated data electrodes (18) and plasma
channels (20) to obtain a matrix structure of
pixelelements (16), and
colour filters being associated with the
pixelelements (16) for obtaining groups (G) of adjacent
pixelelements (16) representing different colours
enabling display of a colour picture, characterized in
that the display device is adapted to comprise groups (G)
of pixelelements (16) each being constituted with a
common data electrode (18) cooperating with a group of
plasma channels (20), the colour filters being aligned
with the plasma channels (20).
The prior art applied by the examiner in rejecting the
claims follows:
