Abstract
Relations between electrical input and optical output of gas‐discharge display panels are developed in which resonance radiation from the xenon negative glow is employed to excite phosphor of appropriate color. A panel having optimized cell configuration for maximum luminance can yield white‐area luminance of only 10 fL at most when reproducing TV images using a one line at a time addressing technique. The optimization reduces the luminous efficiency to an unrealistically low value.
