Abstract
Plasma display panels (PDPs) with a SrCaO protective layer of high secondary electron emission coefficient were manufactured using the “all-in-vacuum” process, whereby the protective layer deposition and panel sealing were performed continuously in high vacuum in order to keep the surface of the protective layer as clean as possible. The PDP with the SrCaO protective layer manufactured using the “all-in-vacuum” process (“all-in-vacuum” SrCaO-PDP) for Ne–20 vol% Xe exhibited a luminance 2.1 times larger, a luminous efficacy 1.7 times larger, and the same discharge time lag, compared with the PDP with the MgO protective layer manufactured using the conventional process (conventional MgO-PDP) for Ne–4 vol% Xe, which had almost the same discharge voltage.
