A plasma display panel that includes a front substrate, a rear substrate positioned in parallel to the front substrate, a plurality of address electrodes between the front and rear substrates, a plurality of display electrodes positioned perpendicularly to the plurality of address electrodes, and a plurality of barrier ribs between the front and rear substrates, the barrier ribs defining a plurality of discharge cells, and wherein each barrier rib includes at least one longitudinal portion positioned at an obtuse angle with respect to the rear substrate.

Plasma display panel and method of fabricating the same

A novel design for dummy ribs in a plasma display panel. The plasma display panel includes upper and lower substrates which are installed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance and which contain therebetween a plurality of barrier ribs and discharge spaces that are between the barrier ribs. The plasma display panel has a display region for displaying images from the discharge spaces. Outside the display region are formed sets of dummy ribs which are positioned in parallel to each other and spaced by a predetermined distance from the display region. Dummy ribs serve to support the upper and lower substrates while maintaining a predetermined distance therebetween. Each set of dummy ribs has at least one reinforcing rib specially designed to be resilient to damage. When exposed to sandblasting, the reinforcing rib remains functional and continues to keep the upper and the lower substrates separated by a predetermined distance.

Plasma display panel

A plasma display panel. A first substrate and a second substrate are provided at a predetermined distance from the first substrate and form a vacuum assembly with the first substrate. Barrier ribs form pixels between the first substrate and the second substrate such that subpixels forming one grouping of pixels are arranged in a triangular configuration. A plurality of address electrodes is formed on a surface of the first substrate facing the second substrate and along a first direction of the first substrate. A plurality of discharge sustain electrodes is formed on a surface of the second substrate facing the first substrate and along a first direction of the second substrate. A phosphor layer and a discharge gas are provided between the first substrate and the second substrate. If a length of a line passing through a center of the subpixels and interconnecting two opposing corners of the subpixels is (c), and if a length of a line extending between two adjacent corners is (b), the subpixels are formed such that a (b) to (c) ratio is between 1:1.5 and 1:5.

Plasma display panel having delta pixel arrangement

A plasma display panel includes a first substrate, and a second substrate opposing the first substrate with a predetermined gap therebetween. Barrier ribs are mounted between the first substrate and the second substrate, and define a plurality of discharge cells. At least one row of every three rows of the discharge cells is formed in an open configuration to thereby realize open discharge cells, and the other rows of the discharge cells excluding the at least one row include discharge cells formed in a closed configuration to thereby realize closed discharge cells.
