Abstract
Discharge buildup and decay was observed in the space between glass‐covered electrodes when a sinusoidal voltage at 50 kHz was applied. Study of the emitted light in a mixture of neon + 10 % nitrogen revealed moving luminous regions, one cathode‐directed which becomes a short‐lived negative glow, and a second single‐ or multiply glowing region anode‐directed which is similar to moving striations in a positive column. Three modes of discharge are observed, continuous and pulsed modes, as reported for the plasma display panel, and a third quasiglow mode, which gives high luminous output and also shows the memory desired for the plasma panel.Keywords
