The characteristics of the discharge of PDP are investigated from the numerical solutions of coupled MHD equations. In this model, the motion and field are assumed to be two-dimensional and the discharge gas is assumed to be the weakly ionized plasma. All realistic effects are included. They are Hall effect, ion slip effect, and other dissipations such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity. The results show that the discharge current concentrated at the left side of the anode and the right side of the cathode and the temperature of those areas is raised. The Hall effect causes the current to concentrate on the edges. The thermal diffusion is a beneficial effect in that it prevents the high temperature.
