Abstract:
A plasma display panel is provided in which discharge connection in the column direction is prevented without increasing the number of man-hours in a formation process of a partition and without deteriorating ventilation for an exhaust process. A pattern in a plan view of a partition is made a mesh pattern in which vertical patterns are included at inter-row positions in each column. Each of first vertical walls is positioned at a boundary between columns, each of second vertical walls is arranged at a position away from a boundary between columns for each boundary between rows and each of horizontal walls is positioned at a boundary between rows. In the partition, a height of portions where the first vertical wall crosses the horizontal wall and a height of portions where the second vertical wall crosses the horizontal wall are smaller than a height of the other portions of the partition.
Abstract:
A plasma display includes a display panel and a driving circuit for driving the display panel. A space for at least one color, of spaces between barrier ribs for defining discharge spaces for red, green and blue colors of the display panel is different from the spaces for other colors.
Abstract:
A first electrode group and a second electrode group each being formed by planarly arraying a plurality of electrodes on a common substrate are arrayed such that the electrodes cross over through an insulating layer. A common discharge electrode portion is arranged between each pair of adjacent electrodes of the first electrode group to be opposite to the pair of electrodes, and plasma discharge portions are formed at opposing portions of the respective discharge electrode portions and the opposite portions of each of the pairs of electrodes opposite to the discharge electrode portions. Thus, a problem of decreases in width of electrodes and inter-electrode interval caused by an increase in definition in a planar-type plasma discharge display device is solved, and at the same time, without using a complex signal processing circuit, the display drive of the planar-type plasma discharge display device and a high-luminance display drive are performed without causing any image degradation.
Abstract:
When two facing electrodes forming a first set are spaced at a large interval, a first electrode in the first set is prone to erroneously discharge with a second electrode forming a second set separated from the first set. A plasma display panel comprises: a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate facing each other; a plurality of sets of discharge sustain electrodes, each set including one common electrode and two independent electrodes on both sides of the common electrode provided on a surface of the first glass substrate that faces the second glass substrate, the common electrode and the two independent electrodes extending in parallel with each other; a dielectric layer coating the plurality of sets of discharge sustain electrodes; a plurality of address electrodes provided in parallel in a direction perpendicular to the common electrodes on a surface of the second glass substrate that faces the first glass substrate with a space interposed between the dielectric layer and the address electrodes; partitions provided between adjacent ones of the address electrodes between the first and second glass substrates; a phosphor coating the partitions; and first insulating parts provided in positions facing the common electrodes with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween.
Abstract:
In an AC plasma display panel having a glaze layer covering address electrodes, a proper amount of conductive filler is introduced into the glaze layer, to lower the volume resistivity of the glaze layer. Thus, generation of spark discharge can be suppressed in driving the display panel.
Abstract:
A surface discharge alternating current plasma display panel has a pair of transparent electrodes supplied with current from metal bus electrodes through connecting portions spaced from each other by slits, a dielectric layer covering the pair of transparent electrodes and the metal bus electrodes and a porous insulating layer covering a part of the dielectric layer over the metal bus electrodes; when surface discharge occurs between the transparent electrodes of the pair, the surface discharge is spread toward the bus electrodes; however, the surface discharge can not exceed the slits; for this reason, the surface discharge is concentrated over the transparent electrodes.
Abstract:
An electrode substrate of an AC type plasma display panel has a major surface with electrically connected display electrodes formed thereon and defining a display portion of the substrate. An insulating layer, of a ZnO-containing glass material containing substantially no lead, is formed on and covers the display portion of the major surface. The display electrodes may be a film of a transparent electrically-conducted material or a multi-layer film combination of a transparent electrically-conducted film of a first width and a metal film of a second, narrower width.
Abstract:
A surface discharge type plasma display panel(PDP) includes a pair of front and rear substrates (11, 21) with a discharge space (30) therebetween and a plurality of pair display electrodes on internal surface of either the front or rear substrate. The display electrodes are extending along each display line L. The PDP further includes a light shielding film (45), having a belt shape extending along the display line direction, formed on either internal or outer surface of the front substrate (11) to overlap each area S2 between the adjacent display lines L and sandwiched between the display electrodes X and Y.
Abstract:
A surface discharge type plasma display panel has a dielectric layer facing to a discharge gas space and a pair of sustaining electrodes embedded in the dielectric layer and disposed apart from each other by a discharge gap on one of the substrates spaced parallel to each other at the discharge gas space. The dielectric layer includes a pair of first thickness portions formed on far ends of the electrodes from the discharge gap respectively which are larger than a second thickness portion on facing near ends of the facing electrodes. The dielectric layer is provided with a depth from its surface to the substrate larger than that on the second thickness portion between adjacent the electrodes. This plasma display panel prevents any useless expansion of the surface discharge over the sustaining electrodes. The discharge current is reduced and the electrical load on the deriving circuit for the surface discharge PDP decreases to save a power consumption and further the emission efficiency of the surface discharge type PDP is improved.
Abstract:
A fluorescent gas-discharge color display panel, in which a fluorescent material is excited by a gas-discharge therein, contains a three-component gas mixture of neon, argon and xenon as the discharge gas. Typically, the argon gas component is in the range of from approximately 5 percent to approximately 80 percent, and that of the xenon gas from a minimum sufficient to maintain the Penning effect up to approximately 10 percent. The argon gas component contributes to the gas mixture producing a pure and high peak of green light spectrum and reduces the orange light spectrum emitted directly by the neon gas discharges. Other characteristics, such as operating voltages, brightness, luminous efficacy, and the panel operating life, are satisfactorily maintained. The improved color purity is advantageous for both single and multiple color display by the excited fluorescent material or materials.
