PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL WITH IGNITER ELECTRODES ARRANGED BETWEEN SCAN ELECTRODES AND DISPLAY ELECTRODES SO AS TO LOWER BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE AND REDUCE POWER CONSUMPTION

摘要

PURPOSE: A plasma display panel is provided to reduce power consumption by lowering a breakdown voltage and achieve improved luminous efficiency by stabilizing a sustain discharge. CONSTITUTION: A plasma display panel comprises a first substrate(2) and a second substrate(4) opposed with each other; address electrodes(8) formed on the first substrate; barrier ribs(12) disposed in the space formed between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to define discharge cells; phosphor layers(14R,14G,14B) formed in the discharge cells; discharge sustain electrodes(20) made of a metal film and formed on the second substrate; and an igniter electrode(26) extended from the discharge sustain electrodes and protruded toward insides of the discharge cells.
