Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a plasma panel comprising a first tile called the rear tile (10) and a second tile called the front tile (20), the two tiles being joined together with a distance of separation defining a space filled with gas, a first array of electrodes which is formed from a set of two parallel electrodes (11, 11'), called the sustaining electrodes, and which is placed on one of the tiles, a second array of electrodes called the addressing electrodes (21) which is placed on the other tile, and an array of barriers (15) which is placed on one of the tiles parallel to the array of addressing electrodes. According to the invention, the array of barriers (15) is positioned on the tile (10) carrying the first array of electrodes (11, 11'), the barriers having a height (H) of less than the distance of separation (E) between the two tiles and the separation (E) between the two tiles is obtained by specific spacing means (16). The invention applies to so-called coplanar plasma panels. <IMAGE>
