Abstract
An AC-driven surface discharge plasma display panel (AC-PDP) includes a pair of substrates that face each other and define a discharge space therebetween, a pair of electrodes for each display line formed on an inner surface of one of the two substrates such that the electrodes face each other and define a discharge gap therebetween, each of the electrodes having minute openings, and a dielectric layer covering the electrodes. The panel has enhanced emission efficiency properties that do not suffer from deterioration.

An AC-driven surface discharge plasma display panel, comprising:
- a pair of substrates that face each other and define a discharge space therebetween;
- a pair of electrodes for each display line formed on an inner surface of one of the two substrates such that the electrodes face each other and define a discharge gap therebetween;
- a dielectric layer covering the electrodes;
- and
- ribs formed on an inner surface of the other of the two substrates so as to partition the discharge space in a direction of the display lines to form discharge cells,
- wherein each of the electrodes has projection portions facing each other through the discharge gap in each discharge cell, and
- wherein each of the projection portions of the electrodes has a plurality of minute openings and the minute openings are formed on a region substantially adjacent to the discharge gap.
An AC-driven surface discharge plasma display panel, comprising:
- first and second substrates that face each other and define a discharge space therebetween;
- discharge-sustaining electrodes formed on the first substrate;
- a first dielectric layer covering the discharge-sustaining electrodes;
- addressing electrodes and ribs formed on the second substrate, said addressing electrodes being arranged in a direction orthogonal to said discharge-sustaining electrodes to form intersections of said pair of discharge-sustaining electrodes;
- and
- discharge cells formed in the discharge space corresponding to each intersection of said discharge-sustaining electrodes and addressing electrodes,
- wherein each of the discharge sustaining electrodes has projection portions facing each other through a discharge gap in each discharge cell, and
- wherein each of the projection portions of the discharge-sustaining electrodes has a plurality of minute openings and the minute openings are formed on a region substantially adjacent to the discharge gap.
