Abstract

PDP panels with MgO protective layer are manufactured by using the "all-in-vacuum" process we have established [1]. This is the process aiming to keep the MgO surface as clean as possible after the evaporation. The panels are evaluated in term of discharge voltage, aging time, luminance, luminous efficacy, discharge time-lag. It is confirmed that the "all-in-vacuum" process particularly improves the aging time, discharge voltage and the discharge time-lag.
