A plasma display panel minimizing the presence of electrodes outside the display area. In forming the display electrodes across the display, the electrodes extend to only one of the right or left side of the display area. In forming the address electrodes, the electrodes extend to only one of a top or a bottom side of the display area. By so limiting the amount of electrodes outside the display area, less electrode paste is consumed thus reducing expenses and the size of the glass substrate is reduced thus resulting in a more compact display. All of this can be achieved without reducing the display area of the display.

A plasma display panel comprising a first substrate and a second substrate provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween, display electrodes formed on the first substrate, address electrodes formed on the second substrate substantially perpendicularly to the display electrodes, barrier ribs mounted in the gap between the first substrate and the second substrate and defining a plurality of discharge cells, and phosphor layers formed using a phosphor layer material within each of the discharge cells. The display electrodes have bus electrodes running along a direction crossing with the address electrodes, and a cross-sectional shape of the bus electrodes is convex toward the second substrate.

A plasma display panel (PDP) and the method for manufacturing the same. A method for manufacturing a plasma display panel includes forming electrodes along one direction on a substrate, applying the dielectric paste along the other direction perpendicular to the one direction of the electrodes on the substrate, drying the dielectric paste and firing the dried dielectric paste to form a dielectric layer. Only one swath is needed for the entire dielectric layer, saving time and production costs, while providing a superior quality layer. Accordingly, since the dielectric paste is applied along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the display electrodes, it is advantage that tack time and the number of cleaning the nozzle is reduced.

Plasma display panel and method for manufacturing the same

A plasma display panel that has electrode extending to a periphery thereof with a thickness and width that varies from the thickness and width of other electrode portions to enhance electrode resistance efficiency and discharge characteristics. That is, the electrodes in the display extend through a display area where visible images are generated into a non-display area around the display area where a connection to a driving circuit is made. The electrodes are designed to have varying widths and thicknesses that vary depending on whether the electrode is inside the display area or is outside the display area.

A display panel comprising a substrate, a plurality of first electrodes formed on a surface of the substrate and extending from a first portion of the substrate, and a plurality of second electrodes formed on the surface of the substrate and extending from a second portion of the substrate. The first electrodes and the second electrodes are alternately arranged in rows. The first electrodes include a shorted segment in the first portion of the substrate that couples ends of the first electrodes. The shorted segment includes an electrode formation region and electrode void regions. The electrode void regions are formed in a predetermined pattern in the electrode formation region.

A plasma display panel includes a front substrate and a rear substrate opposing one another; display electrodes formed on the front substrate, a dielectric layer formed on the front substrate covering the display electrodes, barrier ribs formed on the rear substrate and including first barrier rib members formed in a direction orthogonal to the display electrodes, and second barrier rib members formed in a direction parallel to the display electrodes, the first barrier rib members intersecting the second barrier rib members to define discharge cells; phosphor layers formed in the discharge cells, and address electrodes realized through conductive wires and coated with a dielectric material, the address electrodes being formed orthogonal to the display electrodes in the discharge cells. The address electrodes may be mounted on the second barrier rib members orthogonal to the display electrodes in the discharge cells.

Plasma display panel

A plasma display apparatus comprises: a plasma display panel including first and second substrates disposed in opposition to one another with a gap formed therebetween; a chassis base disposed on one side of the plasma display panel; and a drive circuit disposed on an opposite side of the chassis base for driving the plasma display panel. The first and second substrates of the plasma display panel form an overlapping region in which the first and second substrates overlie one another, and at least one pair of non-overlapping regions in which the first and second substrates do not overlie one another. The non-overlapping regions are asymmetrically formed about the overlapping region.

Plasma display apparatus

A manufacturing method of a plasma display panel and the plasma display panel made using the manufacturing method include the align marks being maintained in a discernible state. The method for manufacturing a plasma display panel includes forming electrodes on a substrate along one direction, and forming align marks on edges of the substrate, depositing a dielectric paste on the substrate covering the align marks, drying the dielectric paste, and baking the dielectric paste to thereby form a dielectric layer. The align marks are left fully remaining such that they are easily discernible, thereby making sealing and other processes easy.

Plasma display panel and manufacturing method thereof

A plasma display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween. Address electrodes are formed on the first substrate. Also, barrier ribs are mounted in the gap between the first substrate and the second substrate, and define discharge cells in a predetermined display region of the first and second substrates. Phosphor layers are formed in the discharge cells. Further, scanning electrodes and display electrodes are formed on the second substrate. The scanning electrodes and the display electrodes each have a pitch in the display region that is identical to a pitch in terminal regions, which are formed to the outside of the display region.

In a plasma display panel, a scanning electrode and a common electrode are alternately formed in strips and parallel to one another on a lower surface of a front substrate. A bus electrode is formed on lower surfaces of the respective scanning and common electrodes to have a narrower width than that of each of the scanning and common electrodes. A black matrix layer is formed of the same insulative material to be parallel to the electrodes at a boundary area between neighboring discharge cells, in which each cell is constituted by a discharge space including a pair of the scanning electrode and the common electrode, and between the scanning and common electrodes and the bus electrode, on a lower surface of the front substrate.
