Abstract: An electrode capable of effectively dispersing or relieving the stress generated in association with expansion and contraction of an active material is provided. The electrode is produced by forming an active material layer on a predetermined current collector. This current collector includes a base and a plurality of projections formed so as to extend outwardly from a surface of the base. The cross section of the projections in a thickness direction of the current collector has a tapered shape in which a width in a direction parallel to the surface of the base narrows from the surface of the base along an extending direction of the projections.

Abstract: In a method of cutting a plasma display panel, a front glass substrate and a rear glass substrate are sealed so as to face each other. The front glass substrate and the rear glass substrate are sandwiched between pairs of rotating cutters, and the pairs of rotating cutters are pressed onto the front glass substrate and the rear glass substrate to be in contact therewith so that the rotating cutters are run thereon in order to cut the substrates.

Abstract: The present invention intends to provide a manufacturing method for a PDP that can continuously apply phosphor ink for a long time and can accurately and evenly produce phosphor layers even when the cell construction is very fine. To do so, phosphor ink is continuously expelled from a nozzle while the nozzle moves relative to channels between partition walls formed on a plate so as to scan and apply phosphor ink to the channels. While doing so the path taken by the nozzle within each channel between a pair of partition walls is adjusted based on position information for the channel. When phosphor particles is successively applied to a plurality of channels, phosphor ink is continuously expelled from the nozzle even when the nozzle is positioned away from the channels. The phosphor ink is composed of: phosphor particles that have an average particle diameter of 0.

Abstract: A method of producing a gas discharge panel includes forming a surrounding unit by positioning a first panel and a second panel together with barrier ribs to partition the space between the panels into cells for light emission when charged with a plasma gas and appropriately addressed. An anti-sealing material inflow rib surrounds the barrier ribs. Sealing material is positioned outside the anti-sealing material inflow rib. The pressure inside the surrounding unit is adjusted to be lower than pressure outside the surrounding unit while applying heat to fuse the sealing material between the first panel and the second panel whereby sealing material is prevented from inflowing into the cells between the barrier ribs during production.

Abstract: Barrier ribs 18 formed on a back substrate PA2 are brought into contact with a bonding paste layer 40 having an even surface, applying a bonding agent Bd evenly to the tops of the barrier ribs. Furthermore, a gas discharge panel having a structure in which discharge mainly occurs at locations distanced from parts of the panel connected using the bonding agent Bd is realized.

Abstract: A method is provided to steadily produce a gas discharge panel, such as a PDP, in which a panel and the top of the barrier ribs are in intimate contact in entirety. First a surrounding unit for the gas discharge panel is formed, then a process for sealing the surrounding unit with a sealing material inserted between two panels at the rim is performed while pressure is adjusted so that pressure inside the surrounding unit is lower than pressure outside. With this construction, the panels constituting the surrounding unit are bonded together while they are pressurized from outside. As a result, a panel and the top of the barrier ribs on the other panel are bonded together while they are in intimate contact in entirety. To fully acquire these effects, it is preferable that the adjustment of pressure starts before the sealing material hardens.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for a plasma display panel applies phosphorous ink from a nozzle to channels between partition walls as the nozzle moves relative to the channels. The phosphorous ink is redispersed with a dispenser before being expelled from the nozzle. Subsequently, a second plate is placed on the partition walls and the first and second plates are sealed together with a gas medium between the two.

A valve is provided for the aperture of each nozzle of the phosphor ink applying device and the opening and closing of each valve is controlled according to the shape of the portion of the surface to which ink is to be applied. In this way, mixing of colors can be prevented on an intricately-shaped back panel such as that with auxiliary barrier ribs.
