Abstract:
A display panel provided with at least two arrays of coplanar electrodes Y, Y′ and a network of address electrodes X is described. The network of address electrodes X is formed between the plates bearing these electrodes and has a two-dimensional set of elementary discharge regions. Each elementary discharge region is subdivided into two matrix discharge regions, each located at the intersection of one Y of the coplanar electrodes and of the address electrode X and one coplanar discharge region between the coplanar electrodes Y, Y′. Each matrix discharge region is located closer to the external edge than the internal edge of the coplanar electrode Y with which the matrix discharge region is associated.
Abstract:
Display panel comprising two plates, separated by a gas-filled space partitioned by separating elements forming an array of barrier ribs, and arrays of coplanar sustain electrodes and address electrodes; with each cell subdivided into a trigger zone at each of the intersections of an address electrode with a sustain electrode and into at least one coplanar discharge expansion zone that extends between the trigger zones, the array of barrier ribs is designed so that, in each cell, each coplanar expansion zone has a width that is less than the width of all the trigger zones.By applying a method of driving the sustain discharges in the display panel by matrix triggering, the luminous efficiency is very substantially improved.
Abstract:
A method for driving a plasma display having discharge regions each crossed by a pair of sustain electrodes (YS, YAS) and at least one trigger electrode (XA) is disclosed. The method includes a succession of image frames or subframes which each have a discharge region sustain phase including the application of voltage pulses VS between the electrodes of each pair of sustain electrodes serving these regions, and the application of a trigger pulse VM, of duration τM less than 1 μS, between the trigger electrode (XA) and one and/or the other of the electrodes of each pair serving these regions. The intensity and luminous efficiency of plasma displays can thus be significantly improved.

Abstract:
Panel comprising an array of barrier ribs each having a base resting on a plate and a top in contact with another plate that includes at least two arrays of coplanar electrodes each preferably having a constant width. According to the invention, these barrier ribs have, at their top, a low-permittivity region of thickness greater than 3 μm and less than or equal to one fifth of their total height, which has a mean dielectric permittivity at least three times smaller than the dielectric permittivity of these barrier ribs measured at their base. Thanks to the invention, the confinement of the plasma discharges far from the barrier ribs is substantially improved.
