    Abstract: Disclosed is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP). According to an example, the PDP includes a panel, a base film in the front surface of the panel, and an Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) shielding film in the base film. Another example of the PDP includes a panel with a panel grounding unit in the front surface, a base film in the front surface of the panel, an EMI shielding film on the base film, a back cover surrounding the panel, and a grounding unit for electrically connecting the panel grounding unit to the back cover. The panel grounding unit and the grounding unit are connected through a conductive substance. The PDP of this research can protect the panel from being damaged by the grounding unit and reduce production costs. Also, it can increase EMI shielding rate by grounding the EMI absorbed in the EMI shielding film.

  • Patent number: 7696692
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a plasma display panel and a method of fabricating the same. The plasma display panel comprises a front glass substrate and a rear glass substrate. An electrode structure disposed between the front and rear glass substrates is prepared in such a way that a non-photosensitive black dielectric layer and a non-photosensitive or photosensitive electrode layer, formed on the front glass substrate, are subjected to heat treatment. The black dielectric layer is blackened at a lower surface by the heat treatment. Current flows between an upper electrode and a transparent electrode and it is possible to assure sufficiently low visibility even though costly metal particles are not used as conductive material on the front substrate of the plasma display panel. It is possible to use various types of black pigments thanks to non-photosensitivity, thus it is possible to fabricate a low-priced plasma display panel due to a reduced material cost.

  • Patent number: 7687993
    Abstract: A technology effective for improving the luminous efficiency, lifetime, and color temperature of a PDP having phosphor layers of three colors is disclosed. A PDP comprises a plurality of narrow tubes (60) arrayed on a substrate (51). In each narrow tube (60), one of phosphor layers (61R; 61B, 61G) is formed and a discharge gas is contained. The compositions and pressures of the discharge gases are set within appropriate ranges respectively corresponding to the phosphor layers (61R, 61B, 61G). Consequently, the PDP can have a lengthened life-time and an improved luminous efficiency. Reductions of variation in breakdown voltage and adjustment of color temperature are also possible with this constitution.

  • Patent number: 7683543
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display panel. According to the present invention, a width of an inner barrier rib formed in an inner region within a display region of a rear substrate is smaller than a width of an outer barrier rib formed in an outer region of the rear substrate. Therefore, the barrier ribs can be prevented from being damaged due to pressure applied when a front substrate and the rear substrate are adhered. Furthermore, a height of the inner barrier rib and a height of the outer barrier rib are substantially the same. It is thus possible to minimize noise incurred by a step between the barrier ribs.
