Abstract: The present invention provides a plasma display device that has light emission properties with short persistence where green light has a persistence time of 3.5 msec or less, that is excellent in luminance, luminance degradation resistance, and color tone, and that is suitable for, for example, a stereoscopic image display device.

Abstract: A plasma display device has a panel main body in which a pair of transparent substrates is arranged in opposition so as to form a discharge space between the substrates on at least a front side. Barrier ribs are arranged on at least one of the substrates to divide the discharge space into a plurality of spaces. A group of electrodes is arranged on the substrates so as to generate discharge in the discharge space divided with the barrier ribs. Phosphor layers that emit by discharge are also provided. The phosphor layers are equipped with a green phosphor layer including at least Zn2SiO4:Mn, a surface of Zn2SiO4:Mn is coated with aluminum oxide, and a ratio of an Al element to a Si element on the surface measured with an XPS apparatus is 0.6 to 4.0.

Abstract: A phosphor of the present invention is characterized by: having a phosphor main portion containing zinc silicate as a base material and manganese as an activator; and having at least one element from among titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), and hafnium (Hf), or having at least one element from among molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), added to the phosphor main portion. The phosphor with such a composition is capable of precisely controlling the composition of a surface region (i.e. the surface including the vicinity) of each phosphor particle and improving the crystallinity, which leads to a high luminous efficiency and a reduction in time-lapse degradation.
