  • Patent number: 6628077
    Abstract: An alternating current driven type plasma display comprising a first panel having electrode groups formed on a first substrate and a dielectric layer formed on the first substrate and on the electrode groups, and a second panel, the first and second panels being bonded to each other in their circumferential portions. Each electrode group comprises; (A) a first sustain electrode having two sides opposed to each other and extending in the form of a stripe, (B) a second sustain electrode having two sides opposed to each other and extending in the form of a stripe, (C) a first bus electrode that is in contact with a nearly straight one side of the first sustain electrode, and (D) a second bus electrode that is in contact with a nearly straight one side of the second sustain electrode and is extending in parallel with the first bus electrode. The other side of the first sustain electrode is in the form of a stripe faces the other side of the second sustain electrode in the form of a stripe.

  • Publication number: 20030155862
    Abstract: Provided is a plasma display device which can realize displaying with high fineness and high brightness, and has low power consumption and high reliability. On a front glass substrate (12), a sustain electrode pair (17a) and (17b) with a thickness such as 40 &mgr;m are located. The thickness is sufficient to allow opposite surfaces of the sustain electrode pair (17a) and (17b) to become substantial discharge surfaces, and discharge paths at this time form a straight line shape between the opposite surfaces. Therefore, metastable particles produced by discharges have low probability of moving away from a space between these opposite sides towards the circumferences, and can maintain a long life as a whole.

  • Patent number: 6541922
    Abstract: An alternating current driven type plasma display device having (a) a first panel comprising a first substrate; a first electrode group constituted of a plurality of first electrodes formed on the first substrate and a protective layer formed on the first electrode group and on the first substrate and (b) a second panel comprising a second substrate fluorescence layers formed on or above the second substrate; and separation walls which extend in the direction making a predetermined angle with the extending direction of the first electrodes and each of which is formed between one fluorescence layer and another neighboring fluorescence layer, wherein discharge is caused between each pair of the first electrodes facing each other, and a recess is formed in the first substrate between each pair of the facing first electrodes.
