Abstract:
Provided is a rare earth phosphovanadate phosphor that is excellent in emission characteristics and preferred also from the viewpoint of industrial production, and a production method thereof. The rare earth phosphovanadate phosphor includes at least a primary particle in which a linear uneven pattern including a plurality of ridge lines parallel to each other is formed on the surface of the particle. Further, the method for producing a rare earth phosphovanadate phosphor involves generating a mixture of a rare earth phosphovanadate phosphor and an alkali metal vanadate, and removing the alkali metal vanadate.
Abstract:
A gas discharge device constructed out of one or more plasma-shells with an organic luminescent substance(s) located in close proximity to each plasma-shell. Each plasma-shell is a hollow geometric body filled with an ionizable gas. Photons from the gas discharge inside the plasma-shell excite the luminescent substance. In one embodiment the luminescent substance is located on the external surface of the plasma-shell. In another embodiment, the luminescent substance is located inside the plasma-shell. The plasma-shell may be made of an inorganic luminescent material with organic luminescent material located on the inside or outside of the plasma-shell. The plasma-shell is of any suitable geometric shape and includes plasma-sphere, plasma-disc, and plasma-dome. A plasma-shell may be used in combination with a plasma-tube.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel (PDP) with improved bright room contrast while achieving a high opening ratio and high luminance. The PDP includes display electrodes that includes auxiliary electrodes that suppress reflection of incident light off the discharge cells. With address electrodes formed on the rear substrate and the display electrodes formed on the front substrate, auxiliary electrodes connect pairs of display electrodes together. The auxiliary electrodes and the main bus electrodes extend into the discharge cells and reflect the external light. The opaque main bus and auxiliary electrodes are combined with a transparent electrode portion that overlies the main bus and the auxiliary portions to form the display electrodes.
Abstract:
A display device is provided in which the number of gradation levels in a display is increased without increasing the number of terminals of a driving device. A display block of one pixel in an image display screen including a plurality of cells are provided with M (two or more) cells having the same light color, and the structures of these cells are made different partially from each other, so that (M+1) types of light emission quantity control including non-light emission can be performed.
Abstract:
A phosphor of the present invention is characterized by: having a phosphor main portion containing zinc silicate as a base material and manganese as an activator; and having at least one element from among titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), and hafnium (Hf), or having at least one element from among molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), added to the phosphor main portion. The phosphor with such a composition is capable of precisely controlling the composition of a surface region (i.e. the surface including the vicinity) of each phosphor particle and improving the crystallinity, which leads to a high luminous efficiency and a reduction in time-lapse degradation.
Abstract:
Discharge cells are arranged in matrix form in the discharge space defined between a front glass substrate and a back glass substrate. Red, green and blue phosphor layers are formed individually in the discharge cells such that the phosphor layers formed in adjacent discharge cells in the column direction have different colors. One pixel consists of three adjacent discharge cells arranged in the row direction and respectively having the red phosphor layer, the green phosphor layer and the blue phosphor layer formed therein. The pixels are arranged in matrix form in the row direction and the column direction.
Abstract:
Panel including a transparent front plate and a rear plate that leave between them discharge spaces, the walls of which are at least partly coated with a layer of a phosphor capable of emitting green, blue or red light; the green phosphor is formed from a mixture of two aluminates having a spinel structure, one A doped with manganese and the other B doped with cerium and with terbium; preferably, the blue phosphor is based on an aluminate of the same structure. The static charges of the various phosphors are homogenized and the risks of phosphor performance degradation during manufacture of the panel are limited.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel (PDP) that has a front substrate, a rear substrate arranged opposite to the front substrate, closed-type front barrier ribs arranged between the front substrate and the rear substrate and formed of a dielectric material, the front barrier ribs defining discharge cells together with the front and rear substrates, front and rear discharge electrodes arranged within the front barrier ribs and surrounding the discharge cells and spaced apart from each other, phosphor layers arranged within the discharge cells and a discharge gas injected into discharge cells.
Abstract:
In a phosphor whose host crystal is constituted of an oxide, a method of preparing the phosphor where the oxygen deficiencies in the phosphor are not many, and a plasma display device using the same are provided. After processes of weighing, mixing and filling powders of the phosphor, a process for firing in a reducing atmosphere and a process for firing in an oxidizing atmosphere after the last reducing atmosphere process are provided. In addition, a firing temperature in the oxidizing atmosphere process is not less than 600° C. and not more than 1000° C.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for removal of fluorescent substances, which removes fluorescent substances on only the top surface of a barrier rib but does not remove fluorescent substances on the side of the barrier rib. The invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet used for removing fluorescent substances adhering to a barrier rib of a plasma display panel back substrate and having at least a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of a base material, wherein the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is more than 3 μm and less than 20 μm.
