Abstract:
An electrode structure of a plasma display panel (PDP) may include a plurality of electrode pairs and a floating electrode pair arranged between at least one of the plurality of electrode pairs associated with a discharge cell of the PDP. The electrode structure enables an electric potential between the X-electrode and the Y-electrode associated with one of the discharge cells to be increased such that a distance between the X-electrode and the Y-electrode may be increased, which increases an amount of discharge of the respective discharge cell.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel adapted to reduce a discharge firing voltage and reset and address periods, thereby enhancing luminescence efficiency. The plasma display panel include first and second substrates facing each other with a predetermined gap in between. The gap is divided into a plurality of discharge cells where phosphor layers are formed. First and second electrodes alternately extend in a first direction between the substrates and further extend in a third direction from the first toward the second substrate. First and second address electrodes are located between the substrates and extend in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The address electrodes correspond to boundaries of the discharge cells located adjacent in the first direction and have protruding portions alternately protruding inside their respective discharge cells.

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.

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:
First electrodes each having a first bus electrode extending in the row direction are arranged regularly in the column direction on the rear-facing face of a front glass substrate, and covered with a first dielectric layer. On the rear-facing face of the first dielectric layer, second electrodes each having a second electrode body extending in the column direction are arranged regularly in the row direction and covered with a second dielectric layer. A first transparent electrode projecting from the first bus electrode and a second transparent electrode projecting from the second electrode body face each other at a required interval when viewed from the front glass substrate. A recess is formed in a portion of the second dielectric layer covering the first transparent electrode and facing toward the discharge space.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a plasma display panel and a plasma display apparatus, and more particularly, to a plasma display panel and plasma display apparatus comprising electrodes. In the plasma display panel and the plasma display apparatus of the present invention, electrodes are formed on upper and lower sides of a discharge cell, respectively, to form a first discharge gap and a second discharge gap. In accordance with the present invention, since a plurality of discharge gaps is formed, the discharge amount can be increased and discharge diffusion can be facilitated. In addition, a discharge sustain voltage can be lowered and brightness and discharge efficiency can be enhanced.

A row electrode in a row electrode pair has a bus electrode extending in the row direction and transparent electrodes each facing a transparent electrode in its counterpart row electrode in each discharge cell. The opposing portions of the transparent electrodes facing each other across a discharge gap are inclined at a required angle either in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction relative to the row direction of the panel. The transparent electrodes with the opposing portions inclined in opposite directions are arranged in alternate positions along the associated bus electrodes and the transparent electrodes with the opposing portions inclined in the same direction face each other.

Abstract:
A specially designed transparent electrode for plasma display panel is disclosed. The transparent electrodes are disposed in pairs on the front glass substrate of the panel spaced apart and parallel to each other. The paired transparent electrodes X and Y are characterized by having respectively an extension member Xn and an extension member Yn projected from the opposing side of a strip-shaped base corresponding to each discharge cell of the panel. The extension member Xn and extension member Yn are asymmetrical in shape and spaced apart a predetermined distance, so as to enhance its field effect in the discharge cell with the address electrode on the rear substrate and increase the illumination efficiency of the discharge cell. In addition, the distances between extension member Xn and extension member Yn of each paired transparent electrodes X and Y corresponding to the red, green and blue discharge cells (R, G, B) in each pixel of the PDP are unequal.
