Abstract
Discharge electrodes for a color plasma display panel forming a discharge pair on one of two substrates coupled to each other spaced a given distance away from one another, including a transparent electrode positioned in the middle of a discharging cell; and opaque electrodes each spaced a given distance away from both sides of the transparent electrode and insulated by a dielectric layer. The opaque electrodes are made of metal. The transparent electrode is formed in parallel to the opaque electrodes.

Discharge electrodes for a color plasma display panel, comprising:
- a transparent ITO electrode which is configured as one of a continuum of transparent ITO electrodes positioned in the middle of a series of cells of a line;
- and
- opaque electrodes each spaced a given distance away from both sides of the transparent ITO electrode so that the transparent ITO electrode does not directly contact the opaque electrodes, wherein the opaque electrodes are insulated by a dielectric layer, wherein the width of the transparent ITO electrode is wider than each of the opaque electrodes, and wherein an external power supply is not applied to the transparent ITO electrode.
A discharge sustaining electrode structure for a color plasma display panel, comprising:
- a transparent ITO electrode, wherein an external power supply is not applied to the transparent ITO electrode;
- and
- opaque bus electrodes, wherein each opaque bus electrode is spaced a given distance away from the transparent ITO electrode, centering the transparent ITO electrode between the opaque bus electrodes, wherein the opaque bus electrodes are insulated by a dielectric layer.
A plasma display panel, comprising:
- an upper substrate;
- a lower substrate, which is coupled to the upper substrate;
- a dielectric layer;
- and
- a discharge sustaining electrode structure, comprising:
- an ITO electrode, and
- bus electrodes, wherein each bus electrode is spaced a given distance away from the sides of the ITO electrode and each bus electrode does not overlap the ITO electrodes, centering the ITO electrode between the bus electrodes, wherein the bus electrodes are insulated by the dielectric layer and wherein the ITO electrode is at least twice as wide as each bus electrode, and wherein an external power supply is not applied to the ITO electrode.
