Abstract:
A plasma display panel in which a first substrate having a protective layer formed thereon opposes a second substrate across a discharge space, with the substrates being sealed around a perimeter thereof. At a surface of the protective layer, first and second materials of different electron emission properties are exposed to the discharge space, with at least one of the materials existing in a dispersed state. The first and second materials may be first and second crystals, and the second crystal may be dispersed throughout the first crystal.
Abstract:
A technology effective for improving the luminous efficiency, lifetime, and color temperature of a PDP having phosphor layers of three colors is disclosed. A PDP comprises a plurality of narrow tubes (60) arrayed on a substrate (51). In each narrow tube (60), one of phosphor layers (61R, 61B, 61G) is formed and a discharge gas is contained. The compositions and pressures of the discharge gases are set within appropriate ranges respectively corresponding to the phosphor layers (61R, 61B, 61G). Consequently, the PDP can have a lengthened life-time and an improved luminous efficiency. Reductions of variation in breakdown voltage and adjustment of color temperature are also possible with this constitution.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel in which a plurality of pairs of first and second electrodes are disposed on a first substrate so as to be parallel to each other, a plurality of third electrodes are disposed on a second substrate, and main parts of a plurality of barrier ribs are disposed between adjacent third electrodes, the third electrodes being orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of display electrodes each of which consists of a pair of the first and second electrodes, wherein a plurality of fourth electrodes are fixed to the barrier ribs or areas of a surface of the first substrate facing the barrier ribs so as to be at least in vicinities of areas between adjacent display electrodes, the fourth electrodes being electrically exposed to discharge spaces which are defined by the barrier ribs.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel having a dielectric protection layer (14) including MgO and phosphor layers (25R, 25G, 25B) for red, green, and blue respectively wherein none of the phosphor layers contain any member of the group consisting of Group IV elements, transition metals, alkali metals, and alkaline earth metals, or wherein all the phosphor layers each contain a specific amount of one or more members of the group consisting of Group IV group elements, transition metals, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. In such a plasma display panel, changes over the course of time in the impedance of the dielectric protection layer (14) is suppressed, and the phosphor layers are uniform with respect to the directional characteristics of the changes of the impedances, which results in suppression of occurrence of black noise.
