Abstract: Electrode configurations for a plasma display panel (PDP) device having one or more substrates and a multiplicity of pixels or sub-pixels that are defined by a hollow plasma-shell filled with an ionizable gas. The invention is described with reference to a plasma-disc, but other plasma-shells may be used including plasma-dome and plasma-sphere. The plasma-disc has at least two opposing flat sides such as a flat top and flat bottom or a flat rear and flat front. One or more other sides or edges may also be flat. Two or more addressing electrodes are in electrical contact with each plasma-disc, at least one electrode being in contact with a flat side of the plasma-disc.

Abstract: Apparatus to eject on demand discrete hollow microsphere droplets that are characterized by a highly regular and predictable spherical shape, devoid of tails or other irregularities common in the prior art with a selected pure gas contained in the center. With this method and apparatus, droplets may be formed of any suitable material including glass, ceramic, plastic, or metal. A variety of gases at various pressures including complete vacuums may be contained in the hollow microsphere. Microspheres filled with ionizable gas may be used as pixels in a plasma display panel. Microspheres used as a pixel elements may be referred to as Plasma-spheres. The inside of each Plasma-sphere may contain a luminescent material such as a phosphor and/or a secondary electron emission material such as magnesium oxide or a rare earth oxide introduced during the gas filling of the microsphere.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a plasma display panel (PDP) device having one or more substrates and a multiplicity of pixels or sub-pixels. Each pixel or sub-pixel is defined by a hollow Plasma-disc filled with an ionizable gas. The Plasma-disc has at least two opposing flat sides such as a flat top and flat bottom. One or more other sides or edges may also be flat. Two or more addressing electrodes are in electrical contact with each Plasma-disc. A flat side of the Plasma-disc shell is in contact with a substrate and each electrode is in electrical contact with a flat side of the Plasma-disc. The PDP may include inorganic and organic luminescent materials that are excited by the gas discharge within each Plasma-disc. The luminescent material may be located on an exterior and/or interior surface of the Plasma-disc or incorporated into the shell of the Plasma-disc. Up-conversion and down-conversion materials may be used. The substrate may be rigid or flexible with a flat, curved, or irregular surface.
