Publication number: 20110089827Abstract: The present invention provides a PDP especially having a high definition or super high definition cell structure and realizing excellent image display performance by obtaining light-emitting efficiency as favorable as or more favorable than conventional PDPs while suppressing discharge voltage rise. Therefore, strip-shaped display electrodes 4 and 5 of a PDP 1 are respectively composed of a combination of a transparent electrode 41 and a bus electrode 42 and a combination of a transparent electrode 51 and a bus electrode 52. An electrode gap d between electrodes 41 and 51 falls in a range of 5 ?m to 60 ?m. A ratio of a total surface area of the electrodes 41 and 51 to a total surface area of discharge cells falls in a range of 0.6 to 0.92. Thus, a discharge start length is larger than the electrode gap d. A product of a total pressure P of a discharge gas and the electrode gap d falls in a range of 13.33 Pa·cm to 133.3 Pa·cm. The discharge gas consists of xenon of 100%.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2009Publication date: April 21, 2011Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroto Yanagawa, Hiroyuki Yamakita, Kiyoshi Hishimotodani, Keisuke Okada
