Abstract:
A plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of sustaining electrodes parallel to each other are located on an inner face of a first glass substrate. Each of the scanning electrodes and each of the sustaining electrodes form a pair. A dielectric layer and a protection layer are formed on the first glass substrate in this order, covering the electrodes. A plurality of data electrodes perpendicular to the scanning electrodes and the sustaining electrodes are located on an inner face of a second glass substrate which is located opposed to the first glass substrate with a discharge space interposed therebetween. In an AC-type PDP having such a structure, at least one of the plurality of scanning electrodes and the plurality of sustaining electrodes are divided into a plurality of groups, and pulses having different phases are applied to the electrodes in different groups, thereby causing sustaining discharge. The scanning electrodes and the sustaining electrodes may be comb-like with teeth. The comb-like scanning electrodes and the comb-like sustaining electrodes are opposed to each other with a small gap interposed therebetween in the manner that the teeth thereof are in engagement with each other. In such a case, the data electrodes are located opposed to and in a longitudinal direction of the teeth of the scanning electrodes.

A plasma display panel, and particularly to a surface-discharge plasma display panel that may have an electrode structure in which a pair of discharge sustain electrodes may be arranged at respective discharge cells between two substrates to make the display discharge. The plasma display panel may include igniter electrodes formed over barrier ribs extending from discharge sustain electrodes along the barrier ribs, and protruding toward the inside of discharge cells at their ends.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel having an active area and a non-display area positioned at the outside of the active area wherein dummy electrodes positioned within said non-display area have a narrower gap between electrodes than sustain electrode pairs positioned within said active area. Accordingly, the plasma display panel has a narrower gap between electrodes of the dummy electrodes than the sustain electrode pair within the active area and has a narrow electrode width thereof, so that it can easily generate a discharge between the dummy electrodes well and reduce a generation of electric charges accumulated onto the dummy electrodes. As a result, the plasma display panel can prevent an abnormal discharge to improve a picture quality.
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.
