Abstract
A high-capacity, high-definition plasma display panel capable of providing a high-quality image has an image display area 16 within which pairs of sustaining electrodes and pairs of scanning electrodes are disposed in an alternating fashion with each other. Each pair of the sustaining electrodes are connected at their opposite ends with each other and, similarly, each pair of the scanning electrodes are connected at their opposite ends with each other. A unitary pixel is defined at an intersection between one of data electrodes 8 and a group including a pair of the scanning electrode, one of pair of the sustaining electrodes adjacent such pair of the scanning electrodes and one of the next succeeding pair of the sustaining electrodes adjacent such pair of the scanning electrodes.
Claims14
A plasma display panel which comprises:
- first and second substrates disposed in face-to-face relationship with a discharge space intervening therebetween:
- a plurality of data electrodes formed on a the second substrate;
- a plurality of sets of at least first and second scanning electrodes formed on the first substrate so as to extend perpendicular to the data electrodes;
- a plurality of sets of at least first and second sustaining electrodes formed on the first substrate so as to extend perpendicular to the data electrodes and in an alternating fashion with the sets of the scanning electrodes;
- and
- a plurality of unitary pixels each defined at an intersection between a data electrode and a group of one set of the scanning electrodes, the first sustaining electrode of one set of sustaining electrodes which is positioned on one side of and adjacent said one set of the scanning electrodes and the second sustaining electrode of the next succeeding set of sustaining electrodes which is positioned on the other side of and adjacent said one set of the scanning electrodes, each sustaining electrode belonging to each set of sustaining electrodes being connected to each other at opposite ends thereof;
- each set of the scanning electrodes included within the unitary pixel being adapted to receive a scanning pulse substantially simultaneously.
