Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a spacer which has an adequate Young's modulus for a spacer used in an image display panel and allows free adjustment of an electric resistance value, and an image display panel using the spacer. The spacer SPC holds a gap between a back panel PNL1 including a signal line CL, a scanning line GL, and an electronic source ELS provided for the main surface of a back substrate SUB1, and a front panel PNL2 including a fluorescent material PH, a black matrix BM, and an anode AD provided for the main surface of a front substrate SUB2. The spacer comprises phosphate glass including the same transition metal element with different valences. For electrical conduction, the included same transition metal element with different valences allows the use of hopping conduction between transition metal atoms with different valences to perform adjustment of electric resistance relatively easily.

The barrier ribs include glass at least containing oxide of tungsten, phosphorus, barium, and vanadium.

Abstract: To prevent occurrence of abnormal discharge which would reduce the quality of images in a PDP. At least one of an address electrode, a bus electrode, a bus main electrode, and a black electrode of a display electrode formed on a substrate is formed of metal particles and high-resistance glass to dissipate charge accumulated on a dielectric through the high-resistance glass and to prevent charging in a glass component itself, thereby reducing abnormal discharge. The high-resistance glass is preferably realized by vanadium phosphate glass containing vanadium, phosphorus, antimony, and barium. The metal particles desirably contain flaky particles.

Abstract: To prevent sucking of a sealing material in steps of sealing and exhaust of a plasma display panel. The plasma display panel includes a front substrate and a rear substrate, in which the peripheries thereof are sealed by a glass sealing material. A sealing portion formed by the glass sealing material is formed of a multi-layered structure including at least two types of glass with different softening points. The entirety or part of the sealing portion on an inner side of the panel is formed of glass with the highest softening point. Since the high-temperature softened glass serves as a barrier for preventing sucking of the low-temperature softened glass into the panel, it is possible to prevent sucking of the sealing material into the panel. This can improve image display characteristics.

Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to improve the mass productivity of display devices by using a glass substrate that prevents the degradation of an electrode caused by glass of the display device. The present invention provides a flat panel display device containing at least two substrates and a light emitting part provided between the two substrates, wherein at least one substrate of the two substrates contains SiO2 as a main component and contains 1% to 10% by weight of at least one type selected from the group consisting of La, Y, Gd, Yb, and Lu in terms of oxides, 5% to 25% by weight of R2O (R denotes one or more types selected from a group consisting of Li, K, Cs, and Rb), and 8% to 20% by weight of Al2O3, and wherein the surface electric resistance at 350° C. of the glass material is higher than 1×108 (?/square).

Abstract: A spacer according to the present invention for use in a flat panel display, which includes a cathode substrate with a cold cathode electron emitting device formed thereon, an anode substrate with a phosphor formed thereon, and a spacer disposed between the cathode and anode substrates, comprises a base made of a conductive glass, and a conductive crystallized glass layer on a surface of the base. The spacer is more excellent in antistatic characteristics than conventional spacers having a conducting layer on the surface of an insulating glass base. A flat panel display according to the present invention using the spacers permits a higher voltage to be applied, thus increasing image quality.

Abstract: A spacer of the present invention for use in an image display device, which has the spacer between a cathode substrate with a cold cathode electron emitting device formed thereon and an anode substrate with a phosphor formed thereon, comprises a phosphate glass having transition metal oxides as its main components, and a higher phosphate concentration layer at the spacer surface. A thickness of the higher phosphate concentration layer is suppressed to 0.5 ?m or less. More preferably, the spacer has a water resistant conductive passivation layer formed on its surface. This suppresses the thickness of the higher phosphate concentration layer to a thinner level, so that the spacer is less likely to be charged thus reducing the deflection amount of electron beam. An image display device of the present invention using above spacer can apply a higher voltage to the anode substrate, thus increasing the image quality.

Abstract: An image display apparatus is provided which is capable of suppressing generation of cracks to be caused by a load applied to a partition disposed between an anode panel and a cathode panel. The partition for retaining a predetermined distance between back and front substrates by using bonding material is constituted of a partition main body and an electric conducting layer coated on the outer peripheral surface of the partition main body. The partition main body has curved portions at the corners of upper and lower end portions, the curved portions contacting the back and front substrates. It is possible to prevent damages of an electrode to be caused by a mechanical load applied to cathode and anode panels having electrodes on opposing surfaces.
