Abstract:
A full color three electrode surface discharge type plasma display device that has fine image elements and is large and has a bright display. The three primary color luminescent areas are arranged in the extending direction of the display electrode pairs in a successive manner and an image element is composed by the three unit luminescent areas defined by these three luminescent areas and address electrodes intersecting these three luminescent areas. Further, phosphors are coated not only on a substrate but also on the side walls of the barriers and on address electrodes. The manufacturing processes and operation methods of the above constructions are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A PDP capable of reducing a discharge firing voltage and improving luminescence efficiency using an opposing electrode structure is presented. The PDP includes a first substrate and a second substrate opposite the first, leaving a space in between where a plurality of partitioned discharge cells are formed, phosphor layers formed in the discharge cells, address electrodes formed between the first and second substrates, first and second electrodes formed between the first and second substrates extending orthogonal to the address electrodes and alternately arranged among adjacent discharge cells and each commonly used by the adjacent discharge cells, and dielectric layers formed to cover outer surfaces of the address electrodes and the first and second electrodes. Each of the address electrodes has a protruding portion that protrudes into the discharge cells and is commonly used by adjacent discharge cells sharing the first or second electrodes.
Abstract:
A capacitive-load driving circuit has a configuration in which a driving power supply source is connected to an output terminal via a driving device. The capacitive-load driving circuit has a power distributing circuit inserted between the driving power supply source and the driving device. Therefore, temperature rise (power consumption) in the capacitive-load driving circuit can be distributed.

A plurality of address electrodes are provided for each sub pixels. Each sub pixel is addressed by a conductive layer which is electrically connected to one of the plurality of address electrodes.

Abstract:
A method of driving a plasma display panel to improve display brightness and luminescent efficiency. In the sustain periods, the same driving signal is sent to the sustain electrode X as well as the address electrode Ai at the same time to achieve the desired volume discharge effect. In addition, the structure of PDPs is modified to raise firing voltages between these electrodes, preventing erasure of the data written in the address periods.

Abstract:
An electrode plate, a method of manufacturing the same, a gas discharge panel using an electrode plate, and a method of manufacturing the same are provided by incorporating a relatively simple structure, which can keep electrodes formed on a plate from peeling or becoming misaligned. In the electrode plate, at least one electrode is formed and adhered to a main surface of a plate by a thick film or thin film formation method, wherein of all ends of the electrode, at least an end opposite to an end at a power supply point is adhered to the main surface of the plate with stronger adhesion than the other parts of the electrode. When this electrode plate is used as a front panel glass having a plurality of pairs of display electrodes in a gas discharge panel, at least an end of each bus line opposite to an end at a power supply point is firmly adhered to the surface of the front panel glass, thereby keeping the bus lines formed on respective transparent electrodes from warping and peeling away or becoming misaligned. Such a gas discharge panel can deliver excellent display performance.
