Abstract:
A plasma display panel has a first and a second plate facing each other. A plurality of first electrodes extending in a first direction and disposed at intervals and a first dielectric layer covering the first electrodes are provided on the first plate. Further, a plurality of second electrodes extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and disposed at intervals are provided on the first dielectric layer. Each of the second electrodes has a connection part to couple with a circuit applying a voltage to the second electrodes at least at one end part of each of the second electrodes, the connection part being provided on the dielectric layer. For example, an edge part on a side of the connection part of the second plate is positioned more inside than the connection part.
Abstract:
On a front substrate, a dielectric layer for accumulating the wall charge is formed, and inside the dielectric layer, a first electrode and a second electrode intersecting each other are formed with a predetermined pitch. The dielectric layer is not flat but is convex at the intersection of the first electrode and the second electrode, and the thickness in the direction of the discharge space from the second electrode at the intersection is larger than the thickness in the remaining area. Consequently, since the electric field distribution at the intersection is coarser than that at places apart from the intersection when discharge is sustained by causing an electric field distribution in the discharge space through the dielectric layer, discharge occurs not at the intersection but in four positions at places apart from the intersection, so that the luminous efficiency per discharge cell is improved.
Abstract:
A Plasma Display Panel (PDP) having improved transformation efficiency includes: a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, discharge cells partitioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, first electrodes extending in a first direction between the first substrate and the second substrate, second electrodes extending in a second direction crossing the first direction between the first substrate and the second substrate and protruding in a direction away from the second substrate, third electrodes extending in the second direction between the first substrate and the second substrate and protruding in a direction away from the second substrate, and phosphor layers arranged within the discharge cells, the discharge cells including a first portion having the second and third electrodes arranged therein and a second portion devoid of second and third electrodes therein. A phosphor layer formed within the second portion has a height, measured in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate, greater than a distance between the first substrate and the second and third electrodes.
Abstract:
The invention provides a plasma display panel having improved luminous efficiency. The improved luminous efficiency may result in part from at least the configuration and/or arrangement of facing sustain and scan electrodes. In one embodiment, the electrodes may have concave portions that are selectively formed at locators where the electrodes intersect barrier ribs that separate adjacent discharge cells of different colors. This configuration may reduce the charge distribution around the portions where the concave are formed, and may also prevent erroneous discharge from being transferred to adjacent discharge cells. The principles of the invention may be used to produce or light density PDP that increases luminous efficiency and decreases a discharge firing voltage.
Abstract:
Sustain electrodes and a transparent dielectric layer covering the sustain electrodes are formed on the rear-facing face of the front glass substrate. A plurality of first additional dielectric layers protrude from the rear-facing face of the transparent dielectric layer, extend in the column direction and are regularly arranged in the row direction. An address electrode initiating a discharge in conjunction with the sustain electrode is formed on each of the first additional dielectric layers.

A plasma display panel comprises: first and second substrates facing each other; a plurality of barrier ribs partitioning a discharge space between the first and second substrates so as to define a plurality of discharge cells; address electrodes extending in parallel with each other and in a predetermined direction; first and second electrodes disposed on the second substrate in a direction intersecting the direction of the address electrodes, the first and second electrodes being separated from the address electrodes, the first and second electrodes being provided in correspondence with each of the discharge cells; and phosphor layers coated on the discharge cells. The first and second electrodes protrude in a direction from the second substrate to the first substrate, and face each other so as to provide a space therebetween.

Bus electrodes Xa, Ya, transparent electrodes Xb, Yb, and column electrode protrusions Db are formed on a front glass substrate 1. A leading end of the transparent electrode Xb (Yb) is opposite another leading end of the transparent electrode Yb (Xb), connected to the bus electrode Ya (Xa) adjacent thereto, with a first discharge gap g1 interposed in between. One or other of the transparent electrodes Yb and Xb is opposite the column electrode protrusion Db with a second discharge gap g2 in between. A column electrode body Da is separated from the bus electrodes Xa and Ya through the first dielectric layer 2. A phosphor layer 6 is provided on a back glass substrate 4.

Abstract:
A plasma display device includes a plasma display panel and a driver unit driving the plasma display panel. The plasma display panel includes a first plate on which a sustain electrode and a scan electrode, a dielectric layer, an address electrode extending in a direction intersecting with the sustain electrode, and a protective layer are sequentially stacked and a second plate disposed to face the first plate via a discharge space. On the second plate, a barrier rib extending in the direction intersecting with the sustain electrode is formed. One edge part of the address electrode lies on the barrier rib and the other edge part of the address electrode lies on the discharge space. During an address period, the driver unit applies a scan pulse operating as an anode to the scan electrode and applies an address pulse operating as a cathode to the address electrode. This makes it possible to prevent erroneous discharge.
