Matrix-addressed flat panel display having a transparent base plate
First Claim
1. A flat panel display, comprising:
- (a) a face structure having a viewing surface;
(b) a transparent backing structure spaced a predetermined distance from and in confronting relationship with the viewing surface of said face structure;
(c) a matrix array of individually addressable electron generating means positioned on said backing structure, between the latter and said face structure, and address means for energizing selected ones of said electron generating means so as to establish a desired light pattern on said viewing surface, said matrix array and said address means being configured such that the desired light pattern is readily viewable through said backing structure, said matrix array, and said address means; and
(d) an accelerator plate structure positioned on the interior side of said face structure for attracting electrons and including luminescing means for reflecting some of said light pattern back toward said viewing surface.

Abstract
A matrix-addressed flat panel display is disclosed herein and includes a face structure having a phosphor coated viewing surface and a transparent backing structure spaced a predetermined distance from and in confronting relationship with the viewing surface of the face structure. The display also includes a matrix array of individual electron generating elements positioned between the backing structure and the face structure and address means for energizing selected ones of the electron generating elements so as to establish a desired light pattern on the viewing surface of the face structure. This matrix array and address means are configured such that the desired light pattern is readily viewable through the backing structure, matrix array and address means.
