Fig. 2 is the partial, exploded perspective view of the PDP of first one exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, illustrate the discharge cell in the viewing area, Fig. 3 is the partial plan layout of the PDP of first one exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, illustrates the discharge cell in viewing area and the zone line.
As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, addressing electrode 12 is formed on metacoxal plate 2 and prebasal plate 4 facing surfaces, and (just, on the y direction of principal axis in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) extends on first direction.Dielectric layer 14 is formed on the front surface of metacoxal plate 2, and covers addressing electrode 12.The at interval predetermined each other distance of addressing electrode 12 is extended simultaneously abreast.
Barrier rib 16 is formed on the dielectric layer 14 to separate a plurality of discharge cells 18 and 20.For example, barrier rib 16 is formed with on the direction that is parallel to addressing electrode 12 (just, on the y direction of principal axis in Fig. 2 and 3) the first barrier flank 16a that extends, with intersects with the first barrier flank 16a and roughly with the direction of its quadrature on (just, on the x direction of principal axis in Fig. 2 and 3) extend second hinder flank 16b.The barrier rib is not limited to said structure, but can be transformed into various form, such as forming the ribbon structure that only has at the upwardly extending barrier flank in the side that is parallel to addressing electrode.Barrier rib with this ribbon structure, and other any suitable barrier rib structures, also within the scope of the invention.
Must provide red in the discharge cell 18 in viewing area 6, green and blue fluorescence coating 22, however can optionally provide in the discharge cell 20 in zone line 8.
Show electrode 28 and 34 is formed on the surface of prebasal plate 4, its relative with metacoxal plate 2 and on the direction of intersecting with addressing electrode 12 (just, on the x direction of principal axis in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) extend. Show electrode 28 and 34 comprises the show electrode 28 corresponding to the discharge cell 18 in the viewing area 6, and corresponding to the show electrode 34 of the discharge cell 20 in the zone line 8. Show electrode 28 and 34 is formed with scan electrode 24 and 30 and keep electrode 26 and 32. Scan electrode 24 and 30 and keep electrode 26 and 32 and provide respectively on the direction of intersecting with addressing electrode 12 (just, on the x direction of principal axis in Fig. 2 and 3) bus electrode 24b, 26b, 30b and the 32b of longitudinal extension, and projection electrode (" extension electrode ") 24a, the 30a, 26a and the 32a that extend to the center of discharge cell 18 and 20 from bus electrode 24b, 26b, 30b and 32b respectively.
Projection electrode 24a, 30a, 26a and 32a have the effect that produces plasma discharge in discharge cell 18 and 20, and they are formed by the transparent material such as indium tin oxide (ITO), to obtain the aperture ratio of expectation.Bus electrode 24b, 26b, 30b and 32b are used for compensating the high resistance of projection electrode 24a, 30a, 26a and 32a and forming conducting of expectation, and they can be formed by opaque metal material.
Dielectric layer 36 and MgO protective layer 38 sequentially are formed on the front surface of prebasal plate 4, cover show electrode 28 and 34 simultaneously.MgO protective layer 38 prevents dielectric layer 36 by the ionic bombardment that discharges in the plasma discharge process, and improves discharging efficiency by high secondary electron discharge coefficient.
The area of show electrodes 28 and corresponding discharge cell 18 is than being set at less than the area ratio of zone line 8 interior show electrodes 34 with corresponding discharge cell 20 in the viewing area 6. Discharge cell 18 and 20 and the area of show electrode 28 and 34 measure from the leading flank of panel.
As shown in Figure 3, the area that is arranged in the show electrode 34 in each discharge cell 20 of zone line 8 is set at the area less than the show electrode 28 in each discharge cell 18 that is arranged in viewing area 6.Being arranged in projection electrode 30a in each discharge cell 20 of zone line 8 and the area of 32a should be set at less than projection electrode 24a in each discharge cell 18 that is arranged in viewing area 6 and the area of 26a.So, the gap between projection electrode 24a and the 26a, and the gap between projection electrode 30a and the 32a all are identical for all discharge cells 20 in all discharge cells 18 in the viewing area 6 and the zone line 8.
On the longitudinal direction of bus electrode 24b in each discharge cell 18 in viewing area 6 and 26b (just, on the x direction of principal axis in Fig. 3) the projection electrode 24a that measures and the width of 26a represent with p1, when projection electrode 30a that measures on bus electrode 30b in zone line 8 in each discharge cell 20 and the longitudinal direction of 32b and the width of 32a are represented with p2, projection electrode 24a, 30a, 26a and the 32a p1＞p2 that satisfies condition.
Use said structure, when to scan electrode 24 and 30 and apply 20-50kHz, 200-350V, the duty ratio of keeping that electrode 26 and 32 replaces be that the waveform of 40-70% is when carrying out burin-in process, projection electrode 24a, 30a, 26a and 32a in viewing area 6 and the zone line 8 have same scale, and do not cause the significant difference of discharge initiation voltage.Therefore, discharge begins with stable form, and the area of the flow of discharging current and projection electrode 24a, 30a, 26a and 32a is proportional, thereby the discharging current of zone line 8 is less than the discharging current of viewing area 6.
Thereby when the temperature of viewing area 6 in the burin-in process process is T1, the temperature of zone line 8 is the temperature of T2 and non-display area 10 when being T3, the T1＞T2 that satisfies condition＞T3.Therefore, when comparing with the traditional PD P that does not have zone line 8, reduced the temperature difference between viewing area 6 and the non-display area 10 and/or make viewing area 6 and zone line 8 between temperature transition milder.Therefore, use the PDP of one exemplary embodiment, can reduce the significant temperature difference between viewing area 6 and the non-display area 10 and/or make it milder, therefore, can reduce or prevent panel breakage and degradation failure according to the present invention.
Fig. 4 is the partial plan layout of the PDP of second one exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, illustrates the discharge cell in viewing area and the zone line.
As shown in Figure 4, in zone line show electrode 34 and 34 ' with the area of corresponding discharge cell 20 than being set at less than the area ratio of discharge cell 18 in the viewing area 6 with corresponding show electrode 28.And in zone line 8, the area of the show electrode 34 ' that contiguous non-display area 10 is arranged is set at the area of the show electrode of arranging less than contiguous viewing area 6 34.
For this purpose, be arranged in the area formation of the interior discharge cell 20 of zone line with homogeneous, projection electrode (" extension electrode ") 24a between viewing area 6 and the zone line 8 and that zone line is interior and the area of 26a, 30a and 32a, 30a ' and 32a ' there are differences.
In this embodiment, for the area that makes projection electrode 24a, 26a, 30a, 32a, 30a ' and 32a ' differs from one another, the width of projection electrode 24a, 26a, 30a, 32a, 30a ' and 32a ' can differ from one another.The width of projection electrode 24a, 26a, 30a, 32a, 30a ' and 32a ' is to measure at (just, on the x direction of principal axis in Fig. 4) on the direction that is parallel to bus electrode 24b, 26b, 30b, 32b, 30b ' and 32b ' extension.Except that the width that makes projection electrode 24a, 26a, 30a, 32a, 30a ' and 32a ' differs from one another or alternatively, can use various technology so that the area of projection electrode 24a, 26a, 30a, 32a, 30a ' and 32a ' differs from one another, this also within the scope of the invention.
In second one exemplary embodiment, corresponding to projection electrode 24a, 26a, 30a, 32a, 30a ' and the 32a ' of corresponding discharge cell 18 and the 20 t1＞t2＞t3 that satisfies condition, wherein t1 represents corresponding to the projection electrode 24a of the discharge cell 18 in the viewing area 6 and the width of 26a, t2 represents that corresponding to the projection electrode 30a of the discharge cell 20 in the zone line 8 of contiguous viewing area 6 and the width of 32a, t3 represents corresponding to the projection electrode 30a ' of the discharge cell 20 in the zone line 8 of contiguous non-display area 10 and the width of 32a '.
For ease of explanation, in drawing and description, only the discharge cell in the middle zone is carried out the part graphic extension, but can in zone line, form more discharge cell.So, can little by little reduce the another location from the position of the zone line of contiguous viewing area to the zone line of contiguous non-display area corresponding to the width of the projection electrode of discharge cell.
Therefore, the area of projection electrode little by little reduces from projection electrode 24a and the projection electrode 30a ' and the 32a ' of 26a in the zone line 8 of contiguous non-display area 10 in the viewing area 6.Because the flow of discharging current and the area of projection electrode 24a, 26a, 30a, 32a, 30a ' and 32a ' are proportional, so 6 positions to the zone line 8 that closes on non-display area 10 little by little reduce from the viewing area at the interior mobile electric current of projection electrode 24a, 26a, 30a, 32a, 30a ' and 32a '.
Thereby in the zone line 8 in the burin-in process process, temperature little by little reduces to the position of contiguous non-display area 10 from the position of contiguous viewing area 6.Therefore, between viewing area 6 and non-display area 10, there are not any significant temperature difference and/or rapid temperature gradient, and can effectively prevent degradation failure and panel breakage.
Fig. 5 is the partial plan layout of the PDP of the 3rd one exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, illustrates its viewing area and zone line.With the barrier rib 16 (16a among Fig. 2 to Fig. 4,16b) differently be, barrier rib 16 as shown in Figure 5 ' (16a ', 16b ') not isolated each other with equidistant from distance, but between viewing area and zone line, and in zone line, open with different intervals between the diverse location.
In this embodiment, show electrode 44 and 50 comprises the show electrode 44 corresponding to the discharge cell 52 in the viewing area 6, and corresponding to the show electrode 50 of the discharge cell 54 (just, discharge cell 54a, 54b, 54c, 54d, 54e, 54f, 54g, 54h) in the zone line 8. Show electrode 44 and 50 comprises scan electrode 40 and 46 and keep electrode 42 and 48 respectively.Scan electrode 40 and 46 and keep electrode 42 and 48 and comprise bus electrode 40b, 46b, 42b and the 48b that vertically is formed on the direction of intersecting respectively, and projection electrode (" extension electrode ") 40a, the 46a, 42a and the 48a that extend to the center of discharge cell 52 and 54 from bus electrode 40b, 46b, 42b and 48b respectively with addressing electrode 12.
Projection electrode 40a, 42a, 46a and 48a have the effect that produces plasma discharge in discharge cell 52 and 54, and they are formed by the transparent material such as indium tin oxide (ITO), to obtain the aperture ratio of expectation.Bus electrode 40b, 42b, 46b and 48b compensation projection electrode 40a, 42a, thus the high resistance of 46a and 48a forms the electric connection of expectation, and they are formed by the opaque metal material.
In this embodiment, have area identical corresponding to the show electrode 50 of each discharge cells 54 in the zone line 8, the discharge cells 54 in the zone line 8 have the area greater than discharge cells 52 in the viewing area 6.Even discharge cell 54 also has different areas in zone line 8, the part that feasible contiguous non-display area 10 is wherein arranged (just, discharge cell 54f, 54g, 54h) area with the part (just, discharge cell 54a, 54b, 54c, 54d, 54e) of arranging greater than contiguous viewing area 6 wherein.
For ease of explanation, discharge cell 52 and 54 has width and/or the length that differs from one another.Discharge cell 52 and 54 width are measured at (just, on the x of Fig. 5 direction of principal axis) on the longitudinal direction of show electrode 44 and 50.Discharge cell 52 and 54 length on the direction of intersecting with show electrode 44 and 50 (just, on the y of Fig. 5 direction of principal axis) are measured.
In this embodiment, zone line 8 is included on the direction that is parallel to show electrode (just, on the x of Fig. 5 direction of principal axis) be adjacent to first dynatron zone 8a of viewing area 6, and the regional 8b of second dynatron that on the direction of intersecting with show electrode, is adjacent to viewing area 6.
Viewing area 6 and first dynatron zone 8a are set at the w3＞w2 that satisfies condition＞w1, wherein w1 is the width of the discharge cell 52 in the viewing area 6, w2 is discharge cell 54c, the 54d of the contiguous viewing area 6 in the 8a of first dynatron zone, the width of 54e, and w3 is discharge cell 54f, the 54g of the contiguous non-display area 10 in the 8b of second dynatron zone, the width of 54h.
