A bidirectional gas discharge tube (GDT) includes a discharge chamber, first and second cathodes, a gas disposed within the discharge chamber, and a control grid. The first and second cathodes are disposed within the discharge chamber and include first and second faces, respectively. The first face and the second face are plane-parallel. The gas is configured to insulate the first cathode from the second cathode. The control grid is disposed between the first and second cathodes within the discharge chamber. The control grid is configured to generate an electric field to initiate establishment of a conductive plasma between the first and second cathodes to close a conduction path extending between the first and second cathodes.

The present disclosure provides a flexible backlight, a method for manufacturing the same, and a display device. The flexible backlight includes: a first flexible substrate and a second flexible substrate arranged opposite to each other; a plurality of spacers arranged between the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate, for supporting a spacing between the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate, and for forming an accommodating chamber between the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate; a first electrode and a second electrode for forming an electric field; a gas contained in the accommodating chamber, in which the gas is capable of emitting a non-visible light by the action of the electric field; and a photoexcitation layer arranged on the second flexible substrate, in which the photoexcitation layer can emit a visible light under illumination of the non-visible light and is in contact with the spacer.
