Abstract:
A plasma display panel. First and second substrates are provided opposing one another. Address electrodes are formed on the second substrate. Barrier ribs are mounted between the first and second substrates defining discharge cells and non-discharge regions. Phosphor layers are formed within each of the discharge cells. Discharge sustain electrodes are formed on the first substrate. The non-discharge regions are formed in areas encompassed by discharge cell abscissas and ordinates passing through centers of the discharge cells. Further, the discharge cells are formed such that ends thereof increasingly decrease in width as a distance from centers of the discharge cells is increased. The discharge sustain electrodes include bus electrodes that extend perpendicular to the address electrodes and outside areas of the discharge cells but across areas of the non-discharge regions, and protrusion electrodes formed extending from each of the bus electrodes.

A heating portion is disposed in the rear of the rear substrate to heat the rear substrate and the front substrate.
Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a plasma display apparatus in which reliable erase discharge is performed and an erroneous discharge is suppressed, even when a discharge sustain period is shortened so as to realize a PDP having high definition. The above object is achieved in the following manner. In the discharge sustain period, a pulse applied in the later part of the discharge sustain period has a larger pulse width than a pulse applied in the earlier part of the discharge period, except for an initial pulse in the discharge sustain period. In addition, a called narrow pulse is applied in an erase period to perform an erase discharge. According to this method, wall voltages in discharge cells at the end of the discharge sustain period are raised to a higher level than in the related art. As a result, reliable erase discharge is performed, and an erroneous discharge is suppressed.

A surface-discharge type PDP includes plural electrode pairs formed of first and second sustain electrodes arranged on a first substrate. Each pair extends along a line direction, and the first and second sustain electrodes are in parallel and adjacent to each other. 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 orthogonal 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:
A method of manufacturing a plasma display device which prevents the brightness of a phosphor layer from lowering is disclosed, and the method can form the phosphor layer in a stable manner because a nozzle is free from clogging. At least one of the phosphor layers has a green phosphor layer containing green phosphor having zero or positive charges and a crystal structure of Zn2SiO4:Mn. Green phosphor ink, of which major ingredient is the green phosphor, is applied through the nozzle to discharging cells, thereby forming the green phosphor layer. The green phosphor ink is formed of green phosphor powder coated with oxide having positive charges, or the ink is formed by crushing the green phosphor powder originally having negative charges and a crystal structure of Zn2SiO4:Mn such that the powder changes to have positive charges.

A gas discharge display device and a method of manufacturing the same. The gas discharge display device includes first and second substrates provided opposing one another. First electrodes are formed on the second substrate, and second electrodes are formed on the first substrate. Barrier ribs are formed between the second electrodes and define concave regions and discharge cells. Further, terminals are formed to an exterior of the discharge cells and are connected to the second electrodes. Gradient surfaces are formed along one end of the concave regions. Also, connecting electrodes are formed on the gradient surfaces for connection to the terminals and the second electrodes. The method includes forming the concave regions using a nozzle for ejecting powder, forming the gradient surfaces using a difference in a cutting rate between a center axis and a periphery of the nozzle, and forming the connecting electrodes.
Abstract:
In a plasma display device in which a substrate contains a plurality of rows of sustain electrodes and scan electrodes, a terminal lead-out section of sustain electrodes is formed of a structure in which a common connection pattern is disposed at a location other than the effective display area of the panel, which provides all rows of sustain electrodes with a common connection. Furthermore, a plurality of connecting blocks, to which each of a plurality of flexible printed circuits (FPCs) is connected, are arranged at almost the same pitch to establish an electrical connection with the common connection pattern. A terminal lead-out section so structured can minimize differences in luminance on the panel caused by an uneven amount of current flow into the FPCs.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel structure having polarization plate is comprised of plasma display panel and filter, wherein the plasma display panel includes front glass and rear glass. Through the front glass, the plasma display panel displays images to the outside. The location of rear glass is corresponding to that of front glass and there is plasma enclosed between the rear glass and the front glass. The filter is a multiple-layer structure having polarization plate and is disposed upon the front glass. In this plasma display panel structure including plasma display panel having polarization plate, since the polarization plate is comprised in filter, so the showed picture is more color-contrasted and more three-dimensioned after the images showed by the plasma display panel passes through this filter.
