Abstract
A plasma display panel comprises a plurality of row electrode pairs (X, Y) and a dielectric layer 12 covering the row electrode pairs (X, Y) provided on a front glass substrate 10, and also column electrodes D provided on a back glass substrate 13 to intersect with the row electrode pairs (X, Y) so as to form display discharge cells C1 in a discharge space at the intersections. A discharge area C2 is formed between the adjacent display discharge cells C1 in the column direction to provide for a discharge created between the back to back row electrodes X and Y of the adjacent row electrode pairs (X, Y). A recess groove 12A is formed in a portion of the dielectric layer 12 opposite each discharge area C2.
Claims7
A plasma display panel including
- a pair of substrates opposite to each other with a discharge space interposed therebetween,
- a plurality of row electrode pairs regularly arranged on an inner surface of one substrate of the pair of the substrates in a column direction, and each extending in a row direction to form a display line and being constituted by row electrodes,
- a dielectric layer provided on the inner surface of the one substrate to cover the row electrode pairs, and
- a plurality of column electrodes regularly arranged on an inner surface of the other substrate of the pair of the substrates in the row direction, and each extending in the column direction to intersect the row electrode pairs and form unit light-emitting areas in the discharge space at the respective intersections,
- said plasma display panel comprising:
- a discharge area provided between adjacent unit light-emitting areas of said unit light-emitting areas in the column direction for producing a discharge between the row electrodes, positioned back to back with each other, of the adjacent row electrode pairs;
- and
- a recess formed in a portion of said dielectric layer facing the discharge area.
