Address methods for D. C. gas discharge display panels

Companion papers by Weston and Hall of the Mullard Research Laboratories and by de Boer of the Philips Research Laboratories, Eindhoven, discuss new dc gas discharge displays, including those with recessed cathodes and with resistive coated anode wire. Simultaneously with this work, the authors and their colleagues in both laboratories are studying the address and drive circuit requirements of these panels and are developing systems for displays both with and without inherent storage.
