ABSTRACT A segment display system where ultraviolet energy is generated and contacts with fluorescent material coat- ings to provide a visible output through fluorescent excitation of the fluorescent material coatings. Ultra- violet energy is generated through the ionization of metallic atoms from a metallic coating which is formed on through opening sidewalls of slots defining a cathode mechanism. The slot through openings are aligned with fluorescent material coatings formed on a display panel member. Below the cathode mechanism is a common anode element. Each of the metallic coatings formed within each of the slot through openings is coupled to an external electrical source in a manner similar to the anode element being so coupled. The segment display system is formed into a monolithic structure which includes an internal chamber within which an inert gas is introduced. Electri- cal energization of the cathode elements and the anode element result in ionization of metal atoms emitted from the metallic coating. The ionization process provides for ultraviolet radiation which is directed to the fluores- cent material coating. The coatings are generally linearly extended and are formed into a predetermined pattern in order to provide visible information output such as numerical digits.
