An insulation layer covering segment layers and a plurality of row
electrodes arranged on a first substrate has, on its surface, first
projections and second projections. The first projections have a shape
and a height corresponding to those of the row electrode, and contacts
partitions disposed on a second substrate. The second projections have a
shape and a height corresponding to those of the segment layer. The
partitions and the second projections constitute discharge barriers
between columns, which prevents discharge interference from occurring
between cells along the row electrodes.
