The present invention relates to a structure of a plasma display panel, and more particularly, to a plasma display panel including a dielectric layer on a front substrate.

In general, a plasma display panel (hereinafter referred to as "PDP") displays an image including a character or a graphic by emitting phosphors by 147 nm ultraviolet rays generated when a He + Xe or Ne + Xe inert mixed gas is discharged. Done. Such a PDP is not only thin and easy to enlarge, but also greatly improved in quality due to recent technology development.

In particular, the three-electrode AC surface discharge type PDP has advantages of low voltage driving and long life because wall charges are accumulated on the surface during discharge and protect the electrodes from sputtering caused by the discharge.

1A is a diagram showing the structure of a conventional three-electrode AC surface discharge type plasma display panel. As shown, the three-electrode AC surface discharge type PDP 100 is coupled in parallel with the front substrate 10, which is the display surface on which the image is displayed, and the rear substrate 20 forming the rear surface, with a predetermined distance therebetween.

The front substrate 10 has a sustain electrode 11 for maintaining light emission of a cell by mutual discharge in one pixel below, that is, a transparent electrode 11a formed of a transparent ITO material and a bus electrode 11b made of a metal material. The sustain electrodes 11 are formed in pairs.

The sustain electrode 11 is covered by a dielectric layer 12 that limits the discharge current and insulates the electrode pairs, and protects the upper surface of the dielectric layer 12 by depositing magnesium oxide (MgO) to facilitate discharge conditions. Layer 13 is formed.

In the rear substrate 20, a plurality of discharge spaces, that is, partitions 21 for forming a cell are arranged in parallel with each other, and a vacuum ultraviolet ray is generated by performing address discharge at a portion crossing the sustain electrode 11. A plurality of address electrodes 22 are formed.

In addition, an upper surface of the rear substrate 20 is coated with R, G, and B fluorescent layers 23 that emit visible light for image display during address discharge.

Figure 1b is a view showing the structure of the front substrate and the rear substrate of the conventional three-electrode AC surface discharge type plasma display panel. As shown in FIG. 1B, a scan electrode 16A and a sustain electrode 16B are formed on the front substrate 10 to maintain light emission of a cell by mutual discharge in one pixel.

At this time, the transparent electrode 16a formed of a transparent ITO material and the scan electrode 16A made of a metal material and the sustain electrode 16B made of a metal material are formed in pairs.

At this time, the scan electrode 16A and the sustain electrode 16B are covered by the dielectric layer 12 which limits the discharge current and insulates the electrode pairs.

However, in the conventional structure shown in FIG. 1B, R, G, and B subpixels 110a, 110b, and 110c are formed in the same size, and the dielectric layer 12 formed on the front substrate 10 is formed on the rear substrate 20. Since the thickness t of the same dielectric layer 12 is formed on the partition walls 121 that divide the R, G, and B subpixels 110a, 110b, and 110c, B subpixels having a relatively small color temperature do not generate strong discharge. Do not. Therefore, the brightness and color temperature of the B subpixel are lowered.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above problems, to form a different thickness of the dielectric layer for each of the R, G, B sub-pixels on the front substrate to compensate for the color temperature of the B sub-pixels having a relatively low color temperature and improve the brightness It is to provide a plasma display panel that can be.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plasma display panel in which a dielectric layer formed on a front substrate is formed on a partition wall of a rear substrate and includes partition walls that partition R, G, and B subpixels. Each of the G, B subpixels is formed differently.

In addition, the thickness of the dielectric layer of the B subpixel is the thinnest.

In addition, the thickness of the dielectric layer of the B subpixel is 25um, the thickness of the dielectric layer of the G subpixel is 35um, and the thickness of the dielectric layer of the R subpixel is 45um.

Also, at least one of the R subpixel or the G subpixel may comprise a blue dielectric layer.

In addition, the heights of the G subpixel partition walls are the same among the heights of the R, G, and B subpixel partition walls.

In addition, the partition wall is characterized in that the height of the partition wall is the same.

In order to reduce the color temperature of the R subpixel 210a or the G subpixel 210b, the color temperature of the B subpixel 210c having a relatively low color temperature is compensated for.

Of course, the blue sublayer 210a is included in the B subpixel 210c having a low color temperature. Formation can compensate for further improved color temperature.

Meanwhile, the partition wall 230 formed on the rear substrate 20 may include the first partition wall 230a, the second partition wall 230b, and the third partition wall 230c that define the R, G, and B subpixels 210a, 210b, and 210c. ), And the fourth partition wall 230d.

At this time, the second partition 230b and the third partition 230c that divide the G subpixel 210b have the same height as the height of the second partition 230b and the third partition 230c, but the first partition It is formed smaller than the height of 230a and the height of the fourth partition 230d.
