Abstract:
A plasma display panel can reduce a discharge delay in address discharge, thereby performing high-speed addressing in a stable manner. A front substrate (1) and a back substrate (2) are disposed to face each other, and a discharge space (3) is formed and partitioned by barrier ribs (10) so as to form priming discharge cells (17) and main discharge cells (11). A clearance (19) is provided between the barrier ribs (10) of the priming discharge cells (17) and the front substrate (1), and priming particles generated in the priming discharge cells (17) are supplied to the main discharge cells (11) through the clearance (19), whereby a PDP performing high-speed addressing is obtained.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel and its driving method are provided, which is capable of improving high speed performance and reducing the necessary voltage for a selective discharge for switching a discharge cell and preferably of suppressing a brightness in a black display and making it easy to modulate the minimum brightness for improving the quality of image. A scanning pulse voltage and a high-level data pulse voltage are so set that even if a data pulse of a discharge cell is low level or this discharge cell is non-selected, then in this non-selected discharge cell, a weak discharge 501 is generated between a low resistive wiring 111b and a stepped portion 203 over a data electrode 210 which are overlapped each other, and if a data pulse of a discharge cell is high level or this discharge cell is selected, then the weak discharge 501 is generated immediately after application of the data pulse before this discharge expends to a position under a transparent electrode 111a, whereby the weak discharge 501 becomes a discharge 502.

Abstract:
On a first substrate provided on a display surface of a plasma display panel, bus electrodes (12a, 14a) in X and Y electrode lines (12, 14) forming a pair of display electrode lines are formed with an Ag material containing a black additive (RuO.sub.2, etc.) by a screen printing. This prevents external light from being reflected at the surfaces of the bus electrodes (12a, 14a) on the display side of an FP substrate (10) to improve the display contrast. The bus electrodes (12a, 14a) may be formed as a multi-layer structure. In this case, for example, the lower-layer bus electrodes are formed with a black metal material and the upper-layer bus electrodes are formed with a light-reflecting material layer, which improves light utilization efficiency and further improves the contrast.

Abstract:
The first object of the present invention is to provide a PDP with improved panel brightness which is achieved by improving the efficiency in conversion from discharge energy to visible rays. The second object of the present invention is to provide a PDP with improved panel life which is achieved by improving the protecting layer protecting the dielectrics glass layer. To achieve the first object, the present invention sets the amount of xenon in the discharge gas to the range of 10% by volume to less than 100% by volume, and sets the charging pressure for the discharge gas to the range of 500 to 760 Torr which is higher than conventional charging pressures. With such construction, the panel brightness increases. Also, to achieve the second object, the present invention has, on the surface of the dielectric glass layer, a protecting layer consisting of an alkaline earth oxide with (100)-face or (110)-face orientation. The protecting layer, which may be formed by using thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method, plasma enhanced CVD method, or a vapor deposition method with irradiation of ion or electron beam, will have a high sputtering resistance and effectively protect the dielectrics glass layer. Such a protecting layer contributes to the improvement of the panel life.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel has a matrix of plural first straight electrodes and plural straight second electrodes, respectively crossing each other, and a unit color element located at a crossing point of the first and second electrodes. A plurality of separator walls are spaced apart from each other and extend along the second electrodes, dividing a discharge space into a plurality of channels extending along respective, second electrodes. The separator walls undulate with a fixed periodicity so as to define alternating wide and narrow portions aligned along each channel and the respective first electrode. A fluorescent material is coated in each channel, the colors emitted from the fluorescent material being identical in each channel. A gas discharge takes place selectively at the wide portions in cooperation with the respective first and second electrodes. Optionally, connecting walls connect respective narrow portions of the adjacent separator walls, a height of the connecting wall being substantially lower than the height of the separator walls so as to allow the wide and narrow portions of each channel to be spatially continuous throughout a length of the channel.
