  • Patent number: 8294365
    Abstract: A plasma display panel has a front substrate, a rear substrate, and a phosphor layer. The front substrate has a dielectric layer formed so as to cover a plurality of display electrodes disposed on a substrate, and a protective layer formed on the dielectric layer. The rear substrate is faced to the front substrate so as to form discharge space, has data electrodes in the direction intersecting with the display electrodes, and has barrier ribs for partitioning the discharge space. The phosphor layer is formed by applying phosphor ink that is made of a phosphor material and dispersant between the barrier ribs of the rear substrate. Nano-particles with a diameter of a range of 1 nm to 100 nm inclusive, or a solvent having an affinity for the dispersant of the phosphor ink is applied to the surfaces of the barrier ribs, and then the phosphor ink is applied to them, thereby forming the phosphor layer.

  • Publication number: 20100330863
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a plasma display panel, including a step of providing a back substrate with a barrier rib to form a plurality of recesses separated each other by the barrier rib, and a step of applying a phosphor ink to the recesses using an inkjet device, wherein the phosphor ink contains a phosphor and a dispersant, and any one of (a) to (c) is satisfied: (a) the phosphor is a red phosphor, and the amount of the dispersant added is not less than 0.0001 g and not more than 0.02 g per 1 m2 of the surface area of the red phosphor; (b) the phosphor is a blue phosphor, and the amount of the dispersant added is not less than 0.0007 g and not more than 0.04 g per 1 m2 of the surface area of the blue phosphor; and (c) the phosphor is a green phosphor, and the amount of the dispersant added is not less than 0.0001 g and not more than 0.02 g per 1 m2 of the surface area of the green phosphor.

  • Patent number: 6076932
    Abstract: This invention provides a light absorber which can be used for optical equipment like optical-disk equipment and a liquid crystal display. The light absorber has a layered structure including a light absorbing layer and a transparent layer. The light absorbing layer absorbs a reflected light from the inside of the absorber as well as incident light into the absorber while the transparent layer helps attenuate the reflected light by interference of light. One of the light absorbing layers which is thicker than others may work as a shading layer for the incident light.
