Abstract:
A plasma display panel comprising a dielectric layer (9) which is so formed as to cover a scan electrode (5) and a sustain electrode (6) formed on a front substrate (4) and a protective layer (10) formed on the dielectric layer (9) is disclosed wherein the protective layer (10) contains silicon and nitrogen. The protective layer (10) is composed of magnesium oxide containing silicon at a concentration from 5 × 1018 atoms/cm3 to 2 × 1021 atoms/cm3 and nitrogen at a concentration from 1 × 1018 atoms/cm3 to 8 × 1021 atoms/cm3. With this constitution, the plasma display panel has a short discharge delay and excellent discharge generation response to voltage application, and enables to suppress change of discharge delay to temperature change.
Abstract:
A drive method for a plasma display panel having a plurality of priming electrodes, wherein the pulse width of a scanning pulse to be applied to a scanning electrodes, out of a plurality of scanning electrodes, for generating a priming discharge and carrying out writing as a result of self scanning is made larger than the pulse width of a scanning pulse to be applied to a scanning electrodes for not generating a priming discharge but carrying out writing as a result of self scanning.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel and its driving method are provided, which is capable of improving high speed performance and reducing the necessary voltage for a selective discharge for switching a discharge cell and preferably of suppressing a brightness in a black display and making it easy to modulate the minimum brightness for improving the quality of image. A scanning pulse voltage and a high-level data pulse voltage are so set that even if a data pulse of a discharge cell is low level or this discharge cell is non-selected, then in this non-selected discharge cell, a weak discharge 501 is generated between a low resistive wiring 111b and a stepped portion 203 over a data electrode 210 which are overlapped each other, and if a data pulse of a discharge cell is high level or this discharge cell is selected, then the weak discharge 501 is generated immediately after application of the data pulse before this discharge expends to a position under a transparent electrode 111a, whereby the weak discharge 501 becomes a discharge 502.
Abstract:
An oxide composite particle, characterized in that it comprises an oxide particle matrix and, incorporated therein, at least one fine gold particle or comprises an oxide particle and, carried fixedly on the surface thereof, at least one fine gold particle, and absorbs a visible light having a specific wavelength; a phosphor such as the one emitting red color, characterized in that it have a thin film comprising above oxide composite particles on the surface of particles thereof; a method for producing the phosphor, which comprises incorporating phosphor particles into a dispersion of gold colloid/oxide composite particles, agitating the resultant mixture, and taking out the precipitated phosphor particles, followed by drying; a color filter, characterized in that at least one color filter layer formed inside a panel is a thin film comprising the above oxide composite particles. The above-mentioned phosphor and color filter are excellent in optical characteristics, heat resistance and non-toxicity, and is free from the adverse effect on the radiation of a photoresist with ultraviolet rays; and a color display manufactured by using the color filter exhibits good luminous chromaticity and is excellent in brightness and contrast.
Abstract:
A plasma display comprises lines of sustaining electrodes (44) and lines of scanning electrodes (42) arranged on one substrate (41). A common connection pattern (46) for commonly connecting all the sustaining electrodes (44) is provided outside an effective display area (D) of the panel body. Connection blocks (47) to which a flexible wiring board (FPC) (31) are connected to the common connection pattern (46) with generally regular pitches. Thus, a terminal lead-out section (45) of the sustaining electrodes (44) is constituted. As a result, the luminance variation caused when the current flowing through the flexible wiring board (FPC) (31) varies can be reduced.
Abstract:
A PDP device and drive method in which pulses are applied at high rate, the discharge cells of the PDP device can be caused to emit light with high luminance at high efficiency, and thereby high-definition high-quality image display is achieved. A pulse is provided with a first waveform part to which a first voltage the absolute value is higher than the discharge start voltage is applied and a second waveform part which is continuous with the first waveform part and to which a second voltage the absolute value is higher than the first voltage is applied. The start point of the second waveform part is before the point at which the discharge delay from the start point of the first waveform part elapses. In a PDP of a structure having split electrodes, an applied pulse has a first waveform part to which a first voltage the absolute value is higher than the discharge start voltage is applied and a second waveform part which is continuous with the first waveform part and to which a second voltage the absolute value is higher than the first voltage is applied.
