Characteristics of a High Resolution Full-Color Plasma Display Panel with 0.39mm Pixel Pitch

Abstract

We studied a high-resolution plasma display panel (PDP) for an engineering workstation (EWS) or personal computer (PC) monitor. With a high-performance multimedia monitor in mind, we attempted to develop a high-resolution 25-inch diagonal PDP with 1280×1024 pixels (SXGA). To evaluate the basic characteristics, we fabricated a 640×480 experimental panel with 0.39-mm pixel pitch. The fabricated panel exhibited a high luminance of 190 cd/m^2,a high contrast ratio of 60 : 1 or better, and a wide viewing angle of over 160 degrees. We confirmed that PDP has the feasibility as an EWS and PC monitor.
