  • Publication number: 20080106497
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display panel, and more particularly, to an electrode structure of a plasma display panel capable of improving brightness and efficiency. According to the present invention, in the plasma display, assuming that a distance from the center of a discharge region between a pair of transparent electrodes to the center of metal electrodes is “d” and a distance between both ends of the pair of the transparent electrodes is “h”, a location on the transparent electrodes of metal electrodes satisfies d<h/4. Therefore, brightness and efficiency can be increased without increasing the Xe content. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce power consumption since a discharge start voltage and a discharge sustain voltage are lowered. Discharge stability can be improved since a discharge delay time is shortened.

  • Publication number: 20070126359
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP) that adopts a moisture-proof structure to protect the adhesive portions of connection pads for driving electrodes. The PDP includes a front panel, a rear panel, a group of electrodes, and a plurality of conductive pads. The group of electrodes are each configured to have a predetermined first line width and are formed on at least one of the front panel and the rear panel. The conductive pads are configured to allow the group of electrodes to be electrically connected with the corresponding electrodes, and are each configured to have a second line width greater than the first line width. The structure of the PDP can effectively protect an overall panel pad from external moisture.

  • Patent number: 7080710
    Abstract: The present invention is a wheelchair control sensor for controlling a powered wheelchair for spinal cord-injured persons, who are incapable of using their hands, using movement of shoulders. The wheelchair control sensor includes two shoulder straps, two casings, two Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) sensors, pressing balls, and a waist belt. The casings each have an internal space defined by an inclined surface. The FSR sensors are attached to the inclined surfaces of the casings or surfaces opposite to the inclined surfaces. The pressing balls are connected to the shoulder straps to press the FRS sensors while being moved through the internal spaces of the casings by external force. The waist belt is worn on an upper garment with the two casings spaced apart from each other at a certain interval.

  • Publication number: 20060125397
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display panel. In the plasma display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, a scan electrode, a sustain electrode and a scan electrode are sequentially arranged, and the resistance of the sustain electrode is lower than the resistance of the scan electrode. An embodiment of the present invention can reduce a difference between a voltage drop of the scan electrode and a voltage drop of the sustain electrode and can also reduce brightness deviation.
