Latest Patents

Shirai’s listed patents address priming discharge and the reliable operation of plasma display panels.

- **“Plasma Display Panel Having Priming Discharge Cell.”** This invention describes a priming discharge between auxiliary electrodes on the front substrate and priming electrodes on the back substrate. A thinner dielectric layer in regions corresponding to priming cells helps widen the operating margin for the priming discharge and stabilize the supply of priming particles. These features reduce discharge delay during addressing and improve address stability.

- **“AC Surface Discharge Type Plasma Display Panel.”** This patent describes a panel with auxiliary electrodes on the front substrate and priming electrodes on the back substrate. It also provides a material layer containing at least one alkali metal oxide, alkaline earth metal oxide, or fluoride in regions corresponding to priming discharge spaces. The design aims to widen the priming-discharge margin, stabilize the supply of priming particles, reduce addressing delays, and improve address stability.
