Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to provide a gas discharge panel, where the conversion efficiency of discharge energy into visible rays and the panel brightness are improved, with the color purity being improved as far as possible. To achieve this object, in a gas discharge panel, the pressure of discharge gas is set in a range of 800-4000 Torr, that is higher than a conventional gas pressure. Also, a rare gas mixture including helium, neon, xenon, and argon is used as discharge gas charged into discharge spaces, instead of conventional discharge gas. Here, it is preferable that the proportion of Xe is set to 5% by volume or less, that of Ar 0.5% by volume or less, and that of He under 55% by volume. With this rare gas mixture, the light-emission efficiency is improved, with the firing voltage being suppressed. Furthermore, display electrodes and address electrodes are arranged on the surface of either of a front cover plate and a back plate, with a dielectric layer existing between the display electrodes and the address electrodes. With this construction, addressing is performed with a relatively low voltage even if the gas pressure is high.

Abstract:
Almost only choice by a secondary electron emission layer/protection layer covering the dielectric layer of an AC type PDP has been magnesium oxide (MgO) that is unstable during the production process and difficult to form, thus posing a serious production problem. An AC type PDP constructed such that, instead of covering the surface of a dielectric layer with a dielectric material such as MgO, an insular electrode is made by forming a conductive material such as nickel, aluminum, magnesium and lanthanum hexaboride into an insular shape, and the insular electrode is allowed to capacity-couple with a lower-layer bus electrode by means of an electrostatic capacity formed by a dielectric layer to operate the insular electrode as a sustained electrode.

Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a planar discharge display device including projection-like structure members (8) respectively formed on spaces between a plurality of unit discharge display portions and unit discharge display portions adjoining to the respective unit discharge display portions of one and the other of a rear glass substrate (1) and a front glass substrate (12), recesses (11) engaged with the projection-like structure members (8) and glass frits (14), (13) respectively interposed on the surrounding portions of the rear glass substrate (1) and the front glass substrate (12) and between the respective projection-like structure members (8) and the recesses (11) engaged with the projection-like structure members (8) in which the rear glass substrate (1) and the front glass substrate (12) are joined with pressure under the condition in which the glass frits (14), (13) are being heated to thereby form a vacuum flat tube-assembly into which a discharge gas is filled. According to this planar discharge display device, there can be removed a risk in which the space between the rear glass substrate (1) and the front glass substrate (12) will cause erroneous discharge to occur to generate crosstalk or a risk in which adhesion failure will be caused by uneven thickness of the glass frit (13). Moreover, since the amount of the glass frit coated on the surrounding portions of the rear glass substrate (1) and the front glass substrate (12) is decreased, a large number of unit discharge display portions can be integrated to the extent that spacers among a plurality of unit discharge display portions may become inconspicuous. In addition, owing to the existence of a plurality of projection-like structure members (8) and a plurality of recesses (11) which are engaged with these projection-like structure members, there can be obtained the planar discharge display device in which misalignment between the rear glass substrate (1) and the front glass substrate (12) in the plane direction can be avoided.
