Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing barrier ribs for a Plasma Display Panel (PDP), which includes the steps of forming a thick film (or, “green tape”) for barrier ribs on a glass or metal substrate by using composition for forming the barrier ribs, which contains water soluble components and solvent soluble components together as a binder; forming a protective pattern film partially soluble or insoluble to the water based solution on the thick film; etching the thick film into a barrier rib shape by using solution or mixed solution containing ceramic powder as an etching accelerator; and sintering the etched thick film. This method causes rare environmental pollution, enables to make barrier ribs having fine and complex shapes and reduces material costs required for the barrier rib. Thus, the method may improve quality of DPD and reduce manufacture costs of the rear plate.
Abstract:
In a plasma display panel, a discharge space is formed by arranging a front substrate (2) and a rear substrate to face each other and sealing the circumference. In the front substrate, a display electrode (6), a dielectric layer (8) and a protection layer (9) are formed on a front glass substrate (3), and in the rear substrate, an electrode, barrier ribs and a phosphor layer are formed on a substrate. The display electrode (6) contains at least silver, and the dielectric layer (8) is composed of a first dielectric layer (81) which covers the display electrode (6) and contains bismuth oxide, and a second dielectric layer (82) which covers the first dielectric layer (81) and contains bismuth oxide. The quantity of the bismuth oxide contained in the second dielectric layer (82) is less than that of the bismuth oxide contained in the first dielectric layer (81).
Abstract:
A plasma display panel such that the discharge time lag of the address discharge is decreased and a high-speed address operation is stably done. A front substrate (1) is opposed to a back substrate (2) to define a discharge space (3). The discharge space (3) is demarcated with partitions (10) to form priming discharge cells (17) and main discharge cells (11). Gaps (19) are provided between the partitions (10) and the front substrate (1). Priming particles produced in the priming discharge cells (17) are supplied into the main discharge cells (11) through the gaps (19). Thus, a plasma display panel in which a high-speed address operation is done is manufactured.
Abstract:
A gas discharge panel on which a color image is displayed precisely and which is easy to manufacture. Between first and second substrates (11, 21) facing each other with an interval, a discharge space containing a discharge gas is formed. At least on one of the two substrates, pairs of electrodes (12a, 12b) for sustaining discharge are provided, and on the first substrate phosphor layers (24R, 24G, 24B) are formed, thus arranging discharge cells in a matrix along the electrode pairs. An image is displayed by selectively operating discharge cells. Between the first and second substrates, gap members (30) having predetermined shapes are disposed at portions corresponding to the boundaries among the discharge cells.
Abstract:
A plasma display device includes a front panel (54) having a glass body (38) secured to a surface of a substrate (32). The glass body has a plurality of channels (40) in its exposed surface with upstanding ribs (44) being between the channels. Conductive first electrodes (48) are on the body with each electrode extending along the bottom of a separate channel. The first electrodes are preferably embedded in the glass body. A transparent front panel is located over a back panel (31) and is seated on and secured to the glass body. A plurality of spaced, parallel second electrodes extend between the front panel and the back panel substantially orthogonally to the first electrodes. Phosphors which emit different colors are coated on the channels and the channels are filled with a plasma gas.

A partition member for a gas discharge display panel having a front substrate with at least one main discharge electrode spaced from a back substrate having at least one auxiliary discharge electrode so as to delimit a gap therebetween. The partition member is adapted to extend substantially parallel to and between the front and back substrates for forming a main discharge space on a front substrate side and an auxiliary discharge space on a back substrate side, the partition member being a metal material member. A gas discharge display panel incorporates the partition member and a system is provided for driving the gas discharge display panel. Also, a manufacturing method is provided for the partition member and gas discharge display panel.
