Abstract
A 17-in. high-resolution color DC plasma display panel, having 480×640 (×3 : trio colors) pixels with 0.54×0.18 (×3) mm2 pixel size, has been experimenntally manufactured and evaluated for its possible applications in large size work station terminals. Several new technologies such as the roll-coated self-aligned phospher layer and the new He-Kr-Xe mixed gas, have been studied. This panel has a layered priming-discharge electrode construction. 4096 colors can be obtained by each of the three (R, G, B) colors at a 16 gray level. This panel can be operated by a driving system for conventional Ne-Ar mixed gas type PDP. Luminance of 33 cd/m2 (white) and efficiency of 0.025 lm/watt (white) were also achieved.
