Abstract:
A photosensitive paste composition is provided. The photosensitive paste composition contains conductive powder, an inorganic binder, and an organic vehicle, wherein, assuming that 10% by weight of the particles consisting the conductive powder have a diameter less than D10 and 90% by weight of the particles have a diameter greater than D90, a difference between D10 and D90 is about 2.0 μm or less. The photosensitive paste composition solves problems arising with use of conductive powder having a broad particle diameter distribution and satisfy requirements for an electrode's main characteristics, such as resistance, the anti-sanding property of terminal portions, and withstanding voltage characteristic. In addition, a PDP electrode using the photosensitive paste composition and a PDP including the PDP electrode can be manufactured.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel (PDP) with improved bright room contrast while achieving a high opening ratio and high luminance. The PDP includes display electrodes that includes auxiliary electrodes that suppress reflection of incident light off the discharge cells. With address electrodes formed on the rear substrate and the display electrodes formed on the front substrate, auxiliary electrodes connect pairs of display electrodes together. The auxiliary electrodes and the main bus electrodes extend into the discharge cells and reflect the external light. The opaque main bus and auxiliary electrodes are combined with a transparent electrode portion that overlies the main bus and the auxiliary portions to form the display electrodes.
Abstract:
Row electrode pairs are formed on the front glass substrate of the PDP. Each of the row electrodes constituting a row electrode pair has a bus electrode and transparent electrodes each connected to the bus electrode and initiating a sustaining discharge in conjunction with the other row electrode paired therewith. The transparent electrodes are formed on the front glass substrate. Bus-electrode separating-off dielectric layers are formed on portions of the back-facing face of the front glass substrate. Each of the bus electrodes is formed on the bus-electrode separating-off dielectric layer.

A rear substrate in a plasma display panel including a first substrate through which an image is transmitted to a viewer, and the rear substrate arranged in facing relation to the first substrate, includes (a) an electrically insulating substrate, (b) a plurality of data electrodes arranged on the substrate and spaced away from one another, (c) a plurality of partition walls formed on the substrate, and (d) a phosphor layer covering the substrate and the data electrodes therewith between adjacent partition walls, wherein at least one partition wall and another partition wall among the partition walls are joined to each other at at least one of opposite ends thereof in a length-wise direction through a curved partition wall, the another partition wall extending in the same direction as a direction in which the at least one partition wall extends.
Abstract:
A method for aging process in a PDP which is able to determine an ending time of the aging process comprises the steps of: starting the aging process by supplying source voltage to the PDP; and defining the aging ending time through change of current waveform by monitoring the change of current waveform applied to the panel, and thereby problems such that discharge characteristics of the panel become unstable due to the lack of aging time and phosphor is deteriorated and processing tack-time is reduced due to over-aging can be solved.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an unbaked laminate for producing a front plate (1) of a plasma display device, and a method for producing such a front plate (1). The laminate includes a burnable intermediate layer (14), and may include an unbaked dielectric layer (12A) and a photosensitive unbaked spacer material layer (16A). The burnable intermediate layer (14) positions between the dielectric layer (12) and the spacer material layer (16), and may burn up upon baking treatment, enabling removal of residues of the spacer material layer in the region subjected to its removal.
