Abstract:
A plasma display panel is formed by a front plate and a back plate spaced apart from one another so that a discharge space is formed to accommodate a plurality of light generating display cells. To increase the luminance on the front side of the plasma display panel a mirror surface or a plurality of mirror surfaces is provided at the back side of the plasma display panel and/or at side-walls of cells of the plasma display panel.
Abstract:
To increase heat dissipation from a plasma display panel, a heat sinking unit 2 bonded to a curved back surface 11 of a panel unit includes a large number of fin blocks 21 arranged spaced apart from each other by a prescribed distance and a flexible thin-wall portion 22, and a joining section 221, which consists of fin anchoring portions 212 and thin-wall portions 22, is capable of being bent between the fin blocks 21, thus allowing the heat sinking unit 2 to conform to the curvature of the panel unit back surface 11. When using a heat sinking unit not structured to conform to the curvature of the panel unit back surface 11, a high-orientation graphite film as a heat equalizing layer is interposed between the panel unit back surface and the heat sinking unit.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for enhancing the performance of visual display units which utilize plasma display panels. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and apparatus for providing an optically enhancing/noise suppressing device for positioning in front of the viewing surface of a plasma display panel. The device also increases the impact resistance of the PDP. The device of the present invention is manufactured separately from the PDP. The device may be provided with attachment means for securing the device to the surface of the visual display unit in a position in front of the viewing surface of the PDP or may be designed to be free-hanging, i.e., suspended, or otherwise positioned in front of the viewing surface of the PDP. In its most basic embodiment, the device of the present invention comprises multiple layers of different materials including at least one plastic substrate layer for impact resistance, an optically selective coating providing high photopic transmittance, continuous high electrical conductivity for RFI shielding, and reflectivity specifically within the near-IR region, and an IR absorbing coating for absorbing IR energy emissions. In a preferred embodiment, the IR absorbing coating constitutes a dye material which is preferably selected to also be color-correcting with respect to the particular PDP.
Abstract:
In each of discharge cells of a color plasma display panel, a data electrode is formed so as to cover entire side walls and bottom of the cell. A fluorescent layer is also formed on an entire surface of the data electrode to improve brightness. The barriers are provided by forming a plurality of grooves a glass substrate to reduce flicker of a screen. The surface of the substrate is made black to improve a display contrast.
Abstract:
A photosensitive resin composition for forming light shielding films is of particular utility in forming a black matrix for use in display elements such as of a CRT display, a liquid crystal panel, a plasma display and the like. The photosensitive resin composition is comprised of a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and light shielding materials composed of an oxide of copper and an oxide or oxides of at least one metal selected from iron, manganese, chromium, cobalt and nickel. The black matrix so obtained is conducive to high heat resistance, greatly light shielding and sharp image contrast as well as to excellent electrical insulation resistance. For use in the plasma display in particular, a black matrix is producible by coating of the photosensitive resin composition on a given substrate, followed by exposure of the coat to selective irradiation with active light rays to form a pattern therein and by subsequently burning of the pattern.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a plasma display includes forming an organic film on a pattern of discharge electrodes and preheating to a temperature lower than a temperature at which the organic film undergoes an exothermic phenomenon, for a given time. By this, in the firing treatment after application of an insulating material in between organic films, a gentle change in shape of the organic film during the process of burning off the organic film is effective in suppressing a change in shape of barrier ribs formed by the insulating material.
