An electrical and optical characteristics of the color ac plasma displays with a new cell structure

Abstract

New types of ac plasma display panel (PDP) cells are designed and tested electro‐optically. We proposed two types of sustaining electrode to improve the luminous efficiency. One is the meander electrode, which has longer discharge path length and smaller electrode area than conventional type. The other is the bridge‐shaped electrode, which eliminates the transparent electrode near the barrier ribs. They show higher luminous efficiency and lower power consumption than conventional type.
