Abstract: A phosphor in which water adsorption onto the surface of a blue phosphor is inhibited, luminance degradation and chromaticity shift of the phosphor is decreased, or discharge characteristics thereof is improved, and a plasma display device using the phosphor. In phosphor layers used for plasma display, selectively coating at least the vicinity of the sides of planes of mirror symmetry containing Ba atoms in a blue phosphor with an oxide or a fluorine-containing oxide inhibits water adsorption onto the surface of the blue phosphor, decreases luminance degradation and chromacity shift of a phosphor, or improves discharge characteristics thereof.

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, whose 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 an 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.

Abstract: A plasma display device exhibits suppressed luminance degradation of a phosphor, a suppressed change in chromaticity and improved discharge characteristics as a result of suppression of adsorption of water or hydrocarbon-containing gas on a surface of a blue phosphor. A blue phosphor layer used in the plasma display device is formed of a compound expressed by Ba1?XMgAl10O17:EuX or Ba1?x?ySryMgAl10O17:EuX and includes at least one element that is selected from Nb, Ta, Pr, P, As, Sb, Bi and Tm which substitutes for a part of its Al or Mg element.

Abstract: The present invention aims to inhibit water adsorption onto the surface of a blue phosphor(blue fluorescent material), decrease luminance degradation and chromaticity shift of a phosphor, or improve discharge characteristics thereof. Used in a phosphor for a plasma display is a blue phosphor in which trivalent Eu ions substitute for part of divalent Eu ions. This substitution eliminates oxygen vacancy in the vicinity of layers containing Ba atoms (Ba—O layers) in the blue phosphor, and thus inhibits water adsorption onto the surface of the blue phosphor, decreases luminance degradation and chromaticity shift of the phosphor, or improves discharge characteristics thereof.

Concentration of bivalent Eu ions is 45 to 95% and concentration of trivalent Eu ions is 5 to 55%, of the europium (Eu) atoms contained in the blue phosphor layer. The plasma display device has less luminance degradation in a panel manufacturing process, high luminance, and long lifetime.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display device apt to increase luminance of a phosphor layer and prevent degradation of a discharge characteristic, and to a phosphor used for the device. This plasma display device has a green phosphor having a crystal structure of Zn2SiO4:Mn, and a monovalent oxide is substituted for part of the green phosphor. The monovalent oxide is one or more of lithium oxide (Li2O), sodium oxide (Na2O), potassium oxide (K2O), cesium oxide (Cs2O), rubidium oxide (Rb2O), copper oxide (Cu2O), and silver oxide (Ag2O). This structure allows reduction of oxygen defects occurring in the green phosphor, suppression of the luminance decrease of the green phosphor, and improvement of a discharge characteristic.
