A display panel provided with at least two arrays of coplanar electrodes Y, Y′ and a network of address electrodes X is described. The network of address electrodes X is formed between the plates bearing these electrodes and has a two-dimensional set of elementary discharge regions. Each elementary discharge region is subdivided into two matrix discharge regions, each located at the intersection of one Y of the coplanar electrodes and of the address electrode X and one coplanar discharge region between the coplanar electrodes Y, Y′. Each matrix discharge region is located closer to the external edge than the internal edge of the coplanar electrode Y with which the matrix discharge region is associated.
