  • Patent number: 7462989
    Abstract: A plasma display panel (PDP) includes front plate, scan electrodes and sustain electrodes both formed on front plate, dielectric layer covering scan and sustain electrodes, and protective layer formed on dielectric layer. Protective layer contains silicon (Si) and nitrogen (N), and is made of magnesium oxide (MgO) including Si of which atoms count in the range from 5×1018 pieces/cm3 to 8×1021 pieces/cm3. The foregoing construction allows the PDP to shorten a discharge-delay time, achieve a quick response of discharge to a voltage applied, and suppress changes of the discharge-delay time with respect to a temperature.

  • Patent number: 7196472
    Abstract: The present invention provides a plasma display panel that has a fast response in discharge generation to voltage application owing to a short discharge delay time, and at the same time suppresses the change in the discharge delay time to temperature. In the plasma display panel, dielectric layer (9) is formed so that it covers scanning electrode (5) and sustain electrode (6) formed on front substrate (4), and protective layer (10) is formed on dielectric layer (9), where protective layer (10) includes carbon and silicon, and in addition, protective layer (10) is made of magnesium oxide including silicon of 5×1018 atoms/cm3 to 2×1021 atoms/cm3 and carbon of 1×1018 atoms/cm3 to 2×1021 atoms/cm3.

  • Publication number: 20060003087
    Abstract: A method for depositing a high quality metal oxide film onto a substrate of a plasma display panel is provided. At a process for forming protective layer (8) of MgO film which is a metal oxide film, the film is formed in such a manner that partial pressure of oxygen gas or the like in evaporation room (21) which is a deposition room is within a certain range. Using this method, deposition is performed with an atmosphere in evaporation room (21) constant, so that physical properties of a film can be stabilized. As a result, a plasma display panel which can display high quality images can be manufactured.

  • Patent number: 6900781
    Abstract: A plasma display having a discharge cell, the emission efficiency of which is improved by generating first and second discharges with one sustaining pulse. A first discharge is generated by increasing a voltage up to a maximal value through a LC resonance formed by a recovery coil and a panel capacitor. A second discharge is generated by connecting the panel capacitor to a power supply when the voltage falls a predetermined amount below the maximal value, thereby increasing the voltage to a predetermined level above the maximal value.
