Experimental HDTV display with a 33-inch pulse memory gas-discharge panel

Abstract HDTV pictures have been reproduced experimentally on a 33-inch DC gas-discharge colour panel with 1024 × 800 cells of 0.65 mm pitch as a first step to making a HDTV flat panel display. Stable pulse memory operation was obtained for the two-lines-at-a-time access drive due to high-accuracy panel fabrication and improvement in drive technique.
