PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL USING HELICON PLASMA SOURCE

摘要

A plasma display panel having a helicon plasma source. First and second substrates are mounted substantially in parallel with a predetermined gap therebetween. A plurality of address electrodes are formed on a surface of the first substrate opposing the second substrate. A first dielectric layer is formed covering the address electrodes. A plurality of barrier ribs are formed on the first dielectric layer at a predetermined height, the barrier ribs defining discharge cells. A phosphor layer is formed in the discharge cells. A plurality of discharge sustain electrodes are formed on a surface of the second substrate opposing the first substrate. A second dielectric layer is formed on the second substrate covering the discharge sustain electrodes. Discharge gas injected into the discharge cells. Antenna and magnet assemblies are provided to increase a plasma density in the discharge cells.
