Three-electrode-per-pel AC plasma display panel

Abstract

A new ac plasma display technique is described in which the alternating sustain function is achieved on the back or substrate glass surface and the <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x-y</tex> selected write-addressing uses a transparent front cover electrode and a substrate electrode. The three-electrode-per-pel structure achieves high overall emission efficiency as a result of nonshielded sustain discharges and low electrode capacitances.
