The present disclosure describes systems and methods for using an ionizing fluidic accelerator that may encompass the use of an ionizing fluidic accelerator including a substrate, an electron emitter having a negative bias and being formed on the substrate, an anode having a positive bias and being formed on the substrate, and an attractor having a negative bias and being formed on the substrate. The electron emitter and the anode may be separated in a first direction and the negative bias of the electron emitter and the positive bias of the anode may produce a first electric field in the first direction. The anode and the attractor may be separated in a second direction, the positive bias of the anode and the negative bias of the attractor may produce a second electric field in the second direction, and the second direction may be orthogonal to the first direction.

In some embodiments, a gas discharge tube (GDT) can include first and second electrodes each including an edge and an inward facing surface, such that the inward facing surfaces of the first and second electrodes face each other. The GDT can further include a sealing portion implemented to join and seal the edge portions of the inward facing surfaces of the first and second electrodes to define a sealed chamber between the inward facing surfaces of the first and second electrodes. The GDT can further include an electrically insulating portion implemented to provide a surface in the sealed chamber and to cover a portion of the inward facing surface of each of at least one of the first and second electrodes such that a leakage path within the sealed chamber includes the surface of the electrically insulating portion.

A touch panel, a display panel, and a display unit achieving prevention of erroneous detection caused by external noise. The touch panel includes: a plurality of detection scan electrodes extending in a first direction and a plurality of detection electrodes facing the plurality of detection scan electrodes and extending in a second direction which intersects the first direction. A ratio of fringe capacitance to total capacitance between one or more selected detection scan electrodes and a first detection electrode is different from a ratio of fringe capacitance to total capacitance between the one or more selected detection scan electrodes and a second detection electrode. The one or more selected detection scan electrodes are selected, in a desired unit, from the plurality of detection scan electrodes, to be supplied with a selection pulse, and each of the first and the second detection electrodes is selected from the plurality of detection electrodes.

A product having at least one plasma lamp that includes plates that are approximately parallel, with at least one array of microcavities formed in a surface of at least one plate. When desirable, the plates are separated a fixed distance by spacers with at least one spacer being placed near the plate's edge to form a hermetic seal therewith. A gas makes contact with the microcavity array. Electrodes capable of delivering a time-varying voltage are located such that the application of the time-varying voltage interacts with the gas to form a glow discharge plasma in the microcavities and the fixed volume between the plates. The glow discharge plasma efficiently and uniformly emits radiation that is predominantly in the UV/VUV spectral range with at least a portion of the radiation being emitted from the plasma lamp.
