A method of forming a protection layer of a plasma display panel, which has upper electrodes, lower electrodes and a barrier rib, includes the steps of: forming a dielectric layer on the upper electrodes; and forming a MgO protection layer on the dielectric layer by the method of direct coating the MgO solution on the surface of the dielectric layer. Some advantages are derived by properly mixing MgO particles, salt containing Mg, and organic binder and coating an MgO protection layer (thin film) on the surface of the PDP substrate irrespective of coating methods by simple facility and processing. These advantages include PDP MgO protection layer formation to reduce PDP production cost, time and firing voltages, and adjustment of the protection layer's thickness.

Abstract:
A plasma display panel has a matrix of plural first straight electrodes and plural straight second electrodes, respectively crossing each other, and a unit color element located at a crossing point of the first and second electrodes. A plurality of separator walls are spaced apart from each other and extend along the second electrodes, dividing a discharge space into a plurality of channels extending along respective, second electrodes. The separator walls undulate with a fixed periodicity so as to define alternating wide and narrow portions aligned along each channel and the respective first electrode. A fluorescent material is coated in each channel, the colors emitted from the fluorescent material being identical in each channel. A gas discharge takes place selectively at the wide portions in cooperation with the respective first and second electrodes. Optionally, connecting walls connect respective narrow portions of the adjacent separator walls, a height of the connecting wall being substantially lower than the height of the separator walls so as to allow the wide and narrow portions of each channel to be spatially continuous throughout a length of the channel.
Abstract:
The first object of the present invention is to provide a PDP with improved panel brightness which is achieved by improving the efficiency in conversion from discharge energy to visible rays. The second object of the present invention is to provide a PDP with improved panel life which is achieved by improving the protecting layer protecting the dielectrics glass layer. To achieve the first object, the present invention sets the amount of xenon in the discharge gas to the range of 10% by volume to less than 100% by volume, and sets the charging pressure for the discharge gas to the range of 500 to 760Torr which is higher than conventional charging pressures. With such construction, the panel brightness increases. Also, to achieve the second object, the present invention has, on the surface of the dielectrics glass layer, a protecting layer consisting of an alkaline earth oxide with (100)-face or (110)-face orientation. The protecting layer, which may be formed by using thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method, plasma enhanced CVD method, or a vapor deposition method with irradiation of ion or electron beam, will have a high sputtering resistance and effectively protect the dielectrics glass layer. Such a protecting layer contributes to the improvement of the panel life.
