Abstract:
In a long-gap discharge using a trigger discharge in a display cell of a PDP having three electrodes (X, Y, A), a technology capable of stably generating the trigger discharge with low power consumption by using a float electrode is provided. In a dielectric layer of the PDP, a long gap is formed between first and second display electrodes, first and second float electrodes which are capacitive-coupled to the first and second display electrodes are formed, and a short gap is formed between the first and second float electrodes. A sustain pulse is applied to the first and second display electrodes, thereby generating a small trigger discharge in the short gap. Subsequently to this discharge, a main discharge at the long gap is generated. Electrodes and capacitances are structured so that the main discharge has an intensity equal to or smaller than one-fifth of an intensity of the trigger discharge.
Abstract:
A surface-discharge type PDP includes plural electrode pairs formed of first and second sustain electrodes arranged on a first substrate. Each pair extends along a line direction, and the first and second sustain electrodes are in parallel and adjacent to each other. Plural address electrodes arranged on a second substrate opposing the first substrate via a discharge space, each extending along a row direction, a matrix corresponding to a screen to be displayed is formed with the main electrodes and address electrodes, the address electrodes are orthogonal to the main electrodes, each of the address electrode is divided into, for example two partial address electrodes separated from each other by a border line located between adjacent main electrode pairs, whereby the screen is divided into two partial screens, wherein a first clearance between the partial address electrodes is substantially larger than a second clearance between main electrode pair adjacent across the border line. The arrangement order of the first and second sustain electrodes may preferably be such that first sustain electrodes of the first and second partial screens face each other via the border line, and the partial address electrodes may not cross over the first sustain electrodes nearest to the border line.

Abstract:
A plasma display panel of the present invention preferably reduces the luminance differences over a display area of a panel. The reduction in luminance difference is achieved by at least one of changing distances between corresponding scan electrodes or corresponding sustain electrodes of corresponding scan/sustain electrode pairs in different areas of the panel or varying a gap between the scan and sustain electrodes of the scan/sustain electrode pair.
Abstract:
A PDP (101) with a reduced discharge inception voltage and discharge sustaining voltage for improving luminous efficiency has at least a pair of substrates (110 and 111) that are disposed in opposition to sandwich a discharge space therebetween. At least a portion of at least one of the substrates has two or more display electrode pairs (104) that include narrow bus electrodes (159 and 169), a dielectric layer (107) formed so as to cover the display electrode pairs (104), and a protective layer (108) formed so as to cover the dielectric layer (107). The dielectric layer (107) has a dense film structure with a dielectric breakdown voltage of 1.0×106 [V/cm] to 1.0×107 [V/cm].
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a plasma display and a driving method thereof. In the plasma display, a plasma display panel (PDP) has different electrode arrangement configurations of discharge cells neighboring in a column direction and a closed barrier rib configuration. When the PDP has an alignment error in first and second electrodes, different rising slopes or falling slopes of a sustain pulse are applied to the first and second electrodes during a sustain period of a subfield.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus. The plasma display apparatus includes an upper substrate; first and second electrodes formed on the upper substrate; a lower substrate disposed opposite to the upper substrate; and a third electrode formed on the lower substrate. At least one of the first and second electrodes is formed as one layer, and includes first and second electrode lines formed in a direction intersecting the third electrode and a connecting electrode that connects the first and second electrode lines. The distance between the first and second electrode lines has a value of 2 or more in one discharge cell. Accordingly, manufacturing cost of a plasma display panel can be saved by removing a transparent electrode made from ITO. Further, a discharge firing voltage can be reduced and the luminance of a display image can also be improved by variably adjusting the distance between two electrode lines constituting a scan or sustain electrode.
