Abstract:
An image display device comprising an electron source and a display member for displaying an image by irradiation with electrons emitted from the electron source is provided, which is characterized in that the electron source has a plurality of units provided with a higher voltage electrode disposed on a substrate, lower voltage electrodes provided in parallel on both sides of the higher voltage electrode across the higher voltage device electrode and electron-emitting areas located between each of the lower voltage electrodes and the higher voltage electrode, electron beams emitted from each of the electron-emitting areas in each unit cross with each other, and an equipotential surface to be formed between the substrate and the display member has an area protruding to the display member side on the higher voltage electrode.
Abstract:
A plasma flat-panel display has a glass substrate having a first pair of parallel sustainer electrodes deposited thereon that includes a first sustainer electrode and a second sustainer electrode. A second pair of parallel sustainer electrodes also is deposited upon the substrate that also includes a first sustainer electrode and a second sustainer electrode. A single common electrode pad is electrically connected to the first sustainer electrode in the first sustainer electrode pair and the first sustainer electrode in the second sustainer electrode pair. The electrode pad is adapted to be connected to a first sustainer voltage waveform supply so that a single supply provides a voltage waveform to both of the first sustainer electrodes.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel (PDP) including sustain electrodes (40;42) having a double gap (g2;g3) and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The PDP includes sustain electrodes (40,42) having a double gap structure and a predetermined resistance value. Each of the sustain electrodes (40;42) includes a main electrode for sustaining discharge and an auxiliary electrode for starting a low-voltage discharge without decreasing efficiency. A gap (g3) between auxiliary electrodes included in different sustain electrodes (40;42), respectively, is narrower than a gap (g2) between the different sustain electrodes (40;42). Each auxiliary electrode is formed between barrier ribs or immediately above a barrier rib. A ditch is formed in a dielectric layer covering the main electrodes and the auxiliary electrodes. The ditch is formed immediately above an auxiliary electrode.
