Abstract: Provided is a display apparatus that includes a panel assembly which has a plurality of substrates and displays images, and a filter assembly which is formed in front of the panel assembly, has a base film, a refraction control film layer that is attached to at least a surface of the base film and has a refractive index different from that of the base film, and an optical absorption layer that is formed on an outer surface of the base film or the refraction control film layer to absorb refracted incident external light. The display apparatus can increase bright room contrast by absorbing incident external light by employing a film coated with a black group color on a front surface of a panel. Also, a direct attachable filter assembly is used to remove an interface between the substrate and the filter assembly. Thus, a double image problem caused by refraction of light at the interface is prevented.

Abstract: An optical filter includes a base film and at least two conductive layers stacked on the base film, a first conductive layer of the two conductive layers having a first thickness and a first refractive index, and a second conductive layer of the two conductive layers having a second thickness and a second refractive index, the first and second refractive indices and the first and second thicknesses being configured to generate a destructive interference of external light reflected from the first and second conductive layers.

Abstract: A plasma display panel is constructed with a first substrate on which images are displayed, a second substrate disposed facing and spaced apart from the first substrate by a certain distance, a plurality of barrier ribs disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate to define a plurality of discharge cells, a plurality of discharge electrodes extending along lines of the discharge cells, a plurality of phosphor layers formed on interior walls of the discharge cells, an optical reflective layer disposed between the phosphor layers and the second substrate, and a discharge gas filling the discharge cells. The optical reflective layer reflects the visible light that is radiated toward the second substrate, along the image display direction, i.e., towards the first substrate. In addition, the barrier ribs are made from a material having a high optical transmittance that does not absorb the visible light.

Abstract: A plasma display device includes a radiation wave blocking structure for preventing discharged heat, generated inevitably as a result of discharge, from being emitted into the surrounding environment, thereby reducing discomfort normally experienced by users of plasma display devices due to the discharged heat. The plasma display device includes a plasma display panel (PDP) for realizing an image formed due to a discharge, and a heat prevention layer disposed on a side of an image display surface of the PDP. The heat prevention may be included in a directly attached filter or a glass filter, each of which includes a reflection prevention layer or an anti-glare layer, and an electromagnetic wave shielding layer.
