Plasma display panel having protrusion electrode with indentation and aperture
First Claim
1. A plasma display panel, comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween;
address electrodes formed on the second substrate;
barrier ribs mounted between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs defining a plurality of discharge cells;
phosphor layers formed within the discharge cells; and
discharge sustain electrodes formed on the first substrate,wherein the discharge sustain electrodes include bus electrodes that extend such that a pair of the bus electrodes is provided for each of the discharge cells, and protrusion electrodes extending from and forming an angle different from right angle with each of the bus electrodes such that a pair of opposing protrusion electrodes, one member of the pair being a mirror image of the other, is formed within an area corresponding to each said discharge cell andwherein a distal end of each of the protrusion electrodes opposite a proximal end connected to and extending from the bus electrode includes an indentation at a center area thereof such that a gap is formed between the pair of opposing protrusion electrodes, and an aperture is formed in each of the protrusion electrodes to thereby increase an aperture ratio of the protrusion electrodes.

Abstract
A plasma display panel. A first substrate and a second substrate are provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween. Address electrodes are formed on the second substrate. Barrier ribs are mounted between the first substrate and the second substrate defining a plurality of discharge cells. Phosphor layers are formed within the discharge cells. Discharge sustain electrodes are formed on the first substrate. The discharge sustain electrodes include bus electrodes that extend such that a pair of the bus electrodes is provided for each of the discharge cells, and protrusion electrodes extending from each of the bus electrodes such that a pair of opposing protrusion electrodes is formed within an area corresponding to each discharge cell. A distal end of each protrusion electrode includes an indentation such that a gap is formed between the pair of opposing protrusion electrodes, and an aperture is formed in each protrusion electrode.

15. A plasma display panel, comprising:
-
a first substrate and a second substrate provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween; address electrodes formed on the second substrate; barrier ribs mounted between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs defining a plurality of discharge cells and a plurality of non-discharge regions; phosphor layers formed within the discharge cells; and discharge sustain electrodes formed on the first substrate, wherein the non-discharge regions are formed in areas encompassed by discharge cell abscissas that pass through centers of first adjacent discharge cells and discharge cell ordinates that pass through centers of second adjacent discharge cells, each of the non-discharge regions being defined by at least two of the barrier ribs adjacent to the non-discharge region, wherein the discharge sustain electrodes include bus electrodes that extend such that a pair of the bus electrodes is provided for each of the discharge cells, and transparent protrusion electrodes extending from and forming an angle different from right angle with each of the bus electrodes such that a pair of opposing protrusion electrodes, one member of the pair being a mirror image of the other, is formed within an area corresponding to each discharge cell, and wherein a distal end of each of the protrusion electrodes opposite a proximal end connected to and extending from the bus electrode includes an indentation at a center area thereof to thereby form a first discharge gap and a second discharge gap of different sizes, and an aperture is formed in each of the protrusion electrodes to thereby increase an aperture ratio of the protrusion electrodes. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
