Abstract
A picture display device for driving a layer of an electro-optical material by exploiting a plasma for selecting a picture. The device includes a first substrate having a plurality of first electrodes arranged in parallel to one another, a second substrate having a plurality of parallel second electrodes extending perpendicularly to the first electrodes, a dielectric sheet provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, a plurality of barrier ribs provided on the second substrate to from a plurality of plasma channels between neighboring second electrodes, an electro-optical layer provided between the first substrate and the dielectric sheet, an ionizable gas sealed between the second substrate and the dielectric sheet, and a plurality of insulating layers formed on the second electrode, with each insulating layer being formed on a part of the second electrode. There is also disclosed a method for manufacturing the plasma display device.
