Abstract:
The invention provides a plasma display panel having an improved light emission contrast. The plasma display panel includes a plurality of discharge sustaining electrode pairs X.sub.n and Y.sub.n each comprising discharge sustaining electrodes x'.sub.n and x.sub.n, and y.sub.n and y'.sub.n, respectively, which are electrically isolated from each other and which extend in a direction along the scanning lines. The plasma display panel also includes discharging cells in which a discharge occurs within a region limited between the discharge sustaining electrodes x.sub.n and y.sub.n in the first and second priming periods, small-width erasing periods, and writing periods. The black-level intensity can be reduced without causing an increase in the power dissipation and a significant decrease in the normal light emission intensity. Thus, the light emission contrast is improved to a great extent without having to increase the maximum light emission intensity.
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.

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 othogonal 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.

Abstract:
An AC plasma display panel with a coated thin film dielectric layer on the electrodes has a structure which includes double layers of chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu). After three metal layers of chromium, copper, and chromium are formed on a glass substrate, these three metal layers are subjected to patterning with the desired electrode pattern in such a fashion as to eliminate the upper chromium layer. Then, a thin dielectric film of alumina (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) is evaporated onto the two remaining metal layers forming the electrodes. This combination of two layer metal electrodes and dielectric layer is very useful in providing a self-shifting plasma display panel having high quality and reliability.
