Abstract:
A plasma display panel to stabilize address properties. A front substrate (1) and a back substrate (2) face each other, to form a discharge space (3) which is partitioned by barrier ribs (11) to form priming discharge cells (16) and main discharge cells (12). A dielectric layer (17) is formed on the back substrate (2) on which the priming discharge cell (16) is present. Insulation is ensured between a data electrode (10) and the priming electrode (15) because the latter is formed on the dielectric layer (17). One is able to generate a priming discharge before a main discharge.

Abstract:
A plasma display panel device is provided which is capable of obtaining a uniform state of light emission for displaying and of reducing electromagnetic radiation while easily achieving a high-definition image display.

Abstract:
An electrode drive circuit performs interlaced scanning, ensuring that the phases of the sustaining pulse in odd-numbered lines and even-numbered lines among L1 to L8 between surface discharge electrodes are the reverse of each other. With this, when either odd-numbered lines or even-numbered lines are displayed, the voltages applied between the electrodes of the undisplayed lines are at 0, eliminating the necessity for partitioning walls on the surface discharge electrodes. In surface discharge electrodes, X electrodes are provided on the two sides of a Y electrode and the area between the Y electrode and the X electrode on one side is assigned a display line at an odd-numbered frame, and the area between the Y electrode and the X electrode on the other side is assigned a display line in an even-numbered frame. Alternate areas between the surface discharge electrodes are assigned as blind lines and a discharge light emission in the blind lines is blocked or incident light to the blind lines from the outside is absorbed. Address electrodes are provided for each monochromatic pixel column and selectively connected with the pads above them, performing simultaneous selection of lines.
Abstract:
A structure and driving method of a plasma display panel is provided, in which an amount of priming particles within a discharge cell increases to reduce discharge lag of address discharge. The structure of the plasma display panel includes a plurality of sustain electrode pairs successively formed on an upper electrode, a plurality of common electrodes formed one by one between a pair of the sustain electrodes, and a dielectric layer formed on the substrate to deposit the sustain electrodes and the common electrodes. The method for driving the plasma display panel includes the steps of applying a common pulse, which is periodically turned on/off, to the common electrodes, applying a scan pulse to one of a pair of the sustain electrodes, and applying an address pulse to the address electrodes when the scan pulse is applied to the one sustain electrode. Thus, since discharge conditions within the discharge cell can be improved, discharge lag less occurs than the related art plasma display panel.

Abstract:
The front substrate of the PDP includes a scanning electrode and a sustain electrode, a dielectric layer (not shown) that covers these electrodes, and a protective layer (not shown) that protects the dielectric layer from discharge. The scanning electrode and the sustain electrode each includes a floating-state transparent electrode of a transparent conductive material divided into several pieces, a branch electrode capacitively coupled with these transparent electrode pieces, and a bus electrode directly connected to the branch electrode, so that a pair of gas discharge electrodes is formed to be opposite to each other via a surface discharge gap. The transparent electrode includes four electrode pieces of the same dimensions, and the branch electrodes are separated from the discharge gas space by barrier ribs on the rear substrate. The present invention improves light emission efficiency of a PDP formed by AC-type discharge cells.
