Abstract

In order to improve the luminous efficiency in ac PDP(Plasma Display Panel), we have suggested the new structures of sustain electrodes with waffle-type barrier ribs and the discharge current for a given pulse voltage has been decreased by eliminating the electrode area which has nothing to do with visible light emission area compared with conventional structure. As a result, the luminous efficiency was improved about 30% compared with the conventional structure.
