  • Publication number: 20100156266
    Abstract: A gas discharge light emitting panel is provided that prevents deterioration in display properties of the panel, which accompanies changes in light-emitting properties of phosphors. It includes a front panel and a rear panel that are disposed to oppose each other, with a discharge space being interposed therebetween, and a phosphor layer that is disposed above a principal surface located on the discharge space side of the rear panel and that emits light by being irradiated with ultraviolet rays generated in the discharge space. The phosphor layer contains first and second phosphors in which the changes in at least one property selected from luminance and chromaticity, which accompany driving of the panel, occur in the opposite directions to each other.

  • Patent number: 7728794
    Abstract: Set-up, write, sustain and erase pulses are variously applied to a plasma display panel using a staircase waveform in which the rising or falling portion is in at least two steps. These staircase waveforms can be realized by adding at least two pulses. Use of such waveforms for the set-up, write and erase pulses improves contrast, and use for the sustain pulses reduces screen flicker and improves luminous efficiency. This is of particular use in driving high definition plasma display panels to achieve high image quality and high luminance.

  • Patent number: RE41465
    Abstract: A plasma display device has a first plate and a second plate which face each other with a discharge space therebetween, and a sealing member which is provided between the first and second plates to seal the discharge space at edges of the first and second plates. A plurality of electrodes are formed on the inner major surface of the first or second plate. An electrode diffusion preventive layer is formed in each area where the plurality of electrodes cross over the sealing member, so as to avoid direct contact between the plurality of electrodes and the sealing member. As a result, problems such as breaking of the electrodes can be avoided. This construction is especially effective when the electrodes contain Ag.
