The present invention provides a plasma tube array including: plural
light-emitting tubes; a front supporting member and a back supporting
member which spread over the front and back of the light-emitting tubes;
plural display electrode pairs provided on the surface of the front
supporting member facing the light-emitting tubes; and plural signal
electrodes provided on the surface of the back supporting member facing
the light-emitting tubes. Each display electrode constituting the display
electrode pair is a display electrode which is made of a metal thin wire,
provided with plural openings formed in a distributed manner and includes
a first metal thin wire facing a discharge slit and extending along the
discharge slit, and the first metal thin wire is a metal thin wire
thicker than a second metal thin wire which forms a region closer to a
