to improve the durability of discharge electrodes formed in a plasma cell and achieve fine detail , a plasma - addressed display device is provided having a laminated structure with a display cell 1 provided with column - arranged , stripe - shaped signal electrodes 5 , a plasma cell 2 provided with row - arranged , stripe - shaped discharge electrodes 9 , and a dielectric sheet 3 sandwiched in between the display cell 1 and the plasma cell 2 . the portions where the signal electrodes 5 and the discharge electrodes 9 intersect define pixels . the plasma cell 2 includes an insulating substrate 8 bonded to the dielectric sheet 3 with a gap therebetween to form a cell and a gas that ionizes when a voltage is applied to the discharge electrodes 9 sealed in the cell . the discharge electrodes 9 are constituted by electrically conductive material embedded into grooves 13 dug in rows into the insulating substrate 8 .
