An alternating current type plasma display with front and back facing substrates with a gas discharge space between the substrates and a dielectric layer-covered electrode pair on at least one substrate, the dielectric layer having thereon a protective layer formed by coating the dielectric layer with a coating liquid substantially including a partial hydrolyzate derived from an alkaline earth metal compound having a hydrolyzable reaction site and heating the coating.

Coating composition and use thereof

A method for forming a protective layer for a dielectric material in an alternating current type plasma display is provided. In this connection, a coating sol solution is provided which can form a protective layer on a large area substrate without the need to introduce any expensive equipment, the protective layer thus formed being excellent in properties such as strength, adhesion, transparency, and protective properties and capable of being formed by a sol-gel process without use of the conventional vacuum process. The sol solution comprises a dispersion of a precursor to magnesium oxide in a specific form. A method for film formation, using this solution is also provided.

SOL solution containing magnesium acetate tetrahydrate dehydrate colloidal particles and film formation method

A process for making a functional film by adding a magnesium alkoxide and a diethanolamine, which can dissolve or disperse the magnesium alkoxide, in an organic solvent followed by allowing hydrolysis of the magnesium alkoxide to proceed in a rate-controlling manner wherein the magnesium alkoxide is dissolved or dispersed in the organic solvent. Water is added in no more than a stoichiometric amount to the solution or dispersion partially to hydrolyze the magnesium alkoxide. The partial hydrolyzate solution is matured to grow magnesium oxide and/or magnesium hydroxide particles, resulting in a stable sol solution.

Sol solution and method for film formation

A functional film formed by coating a substrate with a coating composition having a partial hydrolyzate of a metallic compound containing a hydrolyzable reaction site, the partial hydrolyzate being a sol solution containing (1) a magnesium alkoxide, (2) diethanolamine, (3) water, and (4) an organic solvent. The coating may also be heated to form the functional film.

A metal complex solution comprising an organic solvent, and a complex composed of an organic acid salt of at least one metal and an organic amine or organic ketone compound, dissolved in the organic solvent; a photosensitive metal complex solution comprising the metal complex solution, and a photosensitive resin added to the solution; and a method for forming metallic oxide films, using these solutions.

Metal complex solution, photosensitive metal complex solution, and method for forming metallic oxide films

There are provided a coating composition that can satisfactorily form a film even at a low temperature by chemical means in a simple and stable manner, has excellent film strength, adhesion, protective effect and other properties in the form of a functional film and can form a functional film at a low cost, a process for producing the coating composition, a functional film, and a process for producing the functional films. A hydrolyzable reaction site is partially hydrolyzed to prepare a sol of a partial hydrolyzate which is then coated on a substrate. The coating is then baked to prepare a corresponding metal oxide film, thereby forming a thin protective layer. Since no hydrolyzate is precipitated in the sol of the partial hydrolyzate, excellent film strength, adhesion, protective effect and other properties are offered. The metallic compound having a hydrolyzable reaction site is selected from an organometal compound, such as a metal alkoxide, an organometal complex, and an organometal acid salt, and an inorganic metal compound, such as an inorganic metal salt. The functional film of the present invention can be utilized in a protective layer formed of, for example, magnesium oxide in a plasma display.
