MATERIAL FOR FORMING BARRIER RIBS, BARRIER RIBS FORMED USING THE MATERIAL AND PDP COMPRISING THE BARRIER RIBS

摘要

Provided is a material for forming barrier ribs, barrier ribs formed using the material, and a PDP comprising the barrier ribs. The material is photosensitive and made from a glass frit composition which is environmentally friendly (no Pb or Bi) and also prevents light scattering. The primary component of the glass frit is P₂O₅. Other components can be included in the barrier rib forming material such as an alkali-based metal oxide, B₂O₃, SiO₂, etc. The barrier rib formed of the glass frit can additionally include a photosensitive organic material which may include a crosslinking agent, a polyfunctional monomer or oligomer, a photo initiator, a binder and an additive. A method of forming the barrier ribs comprising the glass frit composition is also provided as is a PDP including such barrier ribs.
