Abstract
A plasma display panel that is adaptive for improving discharge efficiency. In the panel, a plurality of the first and second electrodes are provided at the rear side of an upper substrate. A dielectric layer is provided at the rear side of the upper substrate in such a manner to cover the upper substrate and the first and second electrodes. A plurality of the first and second auxiliary electrodes are provided in parallel to the first and second electrodes within the dielectric layer.
Claims22
A plasma display panel having a plurality of discharge cells arranged in a matrix type, comprising:
- a plurality of the first and second electrodes provided at the rear side of an upper substrate;
- a dielectric layer provided at the rear side of the upper substrate in such a manner to cover the upper substrate and the first and second electrodes;
- and
- a plurality of the first and second auxiliary electrodes provided in parallel to the first and second electrodes within the dielectric layer.
A plasma display panel, comprising:
- a plurality of the first and second electrodes provided at the rear side of an upper substrate;
- and
- a auxiliary electrodes provided between the first and second electrodes.
A method of driving a plasma display panel including the first and second electrodes provided at an upper substrate, and an auxiliary electrode provided in parallel to the first and second electrodes, said method comprising the steps of:
