本発明は、 プラズマデイスプレイパネルおよびその製造方法に関 し、 特に、 隔壁に'より区画され、 '列ごとに色分けされた放電セルを 有するプラズマディスプレイパネルぉよびその製造方法に関する。 背景技術 · ' '  The present invention relates to a plasma display panel and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a plasma display panel having discharge cells that are partitioned by barrier ribs and color-coded for each column and a method for manufacturing the same. Background art
まず、 プラズ ディスプレイパネル (以下、 P D Pとも称する) の基本構造の一例として、 交流'駆動方式の P D P (A C型 P D P ) を説明する。  First, as an example of the basic structure of a plasma display panel (hereinafter also referred to as PDP), an AC 'drive type PDP (AC type PDP) will be described.
一般的な A C型 P D Pは、 前面基板および背面基板を備え、 前面 基板上には、 通常、 I. T O等による透明電極が形成され、 さらにそ の土にバス電極が形成さ,.れている。 これら透明電極およびバス電極 は、 透明誘電体層で覆われ、 さらに、 M g〇等の'保護膜で覆われる ようになつている。 '  A typical AC type PDP has a front substrate and a rear substrate, and a transparent electrode such as I. TO is usually formed on the front substrate, and a bus electrode is formed on the soil. . These transparent electrodes and bus electrodes are covered with a transparent dielectric layer and further covered with a protective film such as MgO. '
背面基板上には、 前面基板上の透明電極およびバス電極と交差す る方向に、 アドレス電極が形成されている。 ア ドレス電極は、 誘電 体で覆われ、 さらにその上に隔壁 (リブ) が形成されている。  On the rear substrate, address electrodes are formed in a direction crossing the transparent electrode and bus electrode on the front substrate. The address electrode is covered with a dielectric, and a partition (rib) is formed thereon.
隔壁は、 ス トライプ構造のような縦方向 (列方向) の放電空間が 分断されない開放的な構造と、 ,放電セルの四方を囲むように格子状 に配列されるボックス構造 (ワッフル、 格子構造ともいう) のよう な閉鎖的な構造に大別することができる。 これら隔壁の間には、 赤 色 (R) , 青色 (B) および緑色 (G) の蛍光体それぞれが塗布さ れる。 ここで、 ボックス構造では、 この蛍光体の塗布されている放 電セルの真上に、 前面基板の電極の放電ギヤップが位置するように なっている。 , The barrier ribs have an open structure in which the discharge space in the vertical direction (column direction) is not divided, such as a striped structure, and a box structure (waffle and lattice structure) arranged in a grid so as to surround the four sides of the discharge cell. Can be roughly divided into closed structures such as Between these barriers, red (R), blue (B) and green (G) phosphors are respectively coated. Here, in the box structure, this phosphor is applied. The discharge gap of the electrode on the front substrate is positioned directly above the electric cell. ,
背面基板には、 パネルの表示領域の周囲にパネルを密封するた,め のシール部が設けられ、 そのシール部内側端部とダミ一リブ外側端 部との隙間を利用して、 また、 隔壁と前面基板との隙,間等を通して 表示領域外に設けた通気穴からパネル内部の不純物ガスを排出しな がら封着し、 X eや N e等の放電を行なうた.め.の希ガスを封入する ようになっている。'  The rear substrate is provided with a second seal portion for sealing the panel around the display area of the panel, and a gap between the inner end portion of the seal portion and the outer end portion of the dummy rib is used to form a partition wall. Noble gases such as Xe and Ne are sealed while discharging the impurity gas inside the panel from the ventilation hole provided outside the display area through the gap between the front panel and the front substrate. Is to be sealed. '
ところで、 ボックス隔壁構造の P D Pは、 縦方向に隣接する放電 セルの放電干渉を横方向 (行方向) に平行に配列した.隔壁によって 防止することが可能であり、 また、 -放電セルを囲む隔壁側面に蛍光 体を塗布することにより発光面積を増大させることができるという 長所がある。  By the way, the PDP with a box barrier rib structure can prevent discharge interference of discharge cells adjacent in the vertical direction in parallel in the horizontal direction (row direction). There is an advantage that the light emitting area can be increased by applying a phosphor on the side surface.
'しかしながら、 ボックス隔壁構造の P D Pは、 放電セルの四方が 隔壁に囲まれていると、 排気経路となり得る隙間が狭く、 ス トライ プ隔壁構造の P D Pと ベて排気を容易に行う ζとができないとい う問題がある。: '  However, the PDP with a box-bulb structure has a narrow gap that can serve as an exhaust path if the four sides of the discharge cell are surrounded by the bulkheads. There is a problem. : '
この問題を改良した隔壁構造と'して、 放電'セルの四方が隔壁で囲 まれた隔壁構造を有し、 隔壁の熱収縮特性に.より横方向の隔壁を縦 方向より も低く形成し、 この横方向の隔壁の頂部と前面基板との隙 間を排気経路として用いることで排気を改善している (特許文献 1 これは爇収縮特性を有するネオ料で隔壁を形成することで、 隔壁の 厚さの違いにより高低差をつけることができ、 工程数を増やさずに すむ。 原理としては、 隔壁の厚い部分 (幅の広い隔壁) カ^ 隔壁の 薄い部分 (幅の狭い隔壁) に比べ、 幅方向の収縮が小さくて高さ方 向の収縮が大きいことによる。 また、 従来、 リブの形成および排気処理の双方の生産性に優れ、' 明るく安定した表示が可能なプラズマディスプレイパネルを実現す るものとして、 横リブを高さ方向の熱収縮量が,縦リブの高さ方向の 熱収縮量よりも大きく'なるように縦リブの幅の 1 3 0 %以上のパ夕 ーン幅で形成し、 縦リブと横リブの交差部を含めて部,分的に低く形 成して横リブの頂部を通る通気路を設けたものも提案されている ( 例えば、 特許文献 2参照) 。 ' A barrier rib structure that improves this problem has a barrier rib structure in which the four sides of the discharge cell are surrounded by barrier ribs, and the thermal contraction characteristics of the barrier ribs. Exhaust is improved by using the gap between the top of the partition wall in the horizontal direction and the front substrate as an exhaust path (Patent Document 1 This is because the partition wall is formed of neodymium having a shrinkage shrinkage characteristic. The difference in thickness makes it possible to make a difference in height, and it is not necessary to increase the number of processes In principle, the thicker part of the partition (wider partition) and the thinner part of the partition (narrower partition) This is because the shrinkage in the width direction is small and the shrinkage in the height direction is large. In addition, as a plasma display panel that is excellent in productivity in both rib formation and exhaust treatment, and can realize a bright and stable display, the horizontal rib has a heat shrinkage in the height direction. It is formed with a pattern width of 130% or more of the width of the longitudinal rib so that it is larger than the amount of heat shrinkage in the height direction. In addition, there is also proposed a ventilation passage that is formed in a low shape and passes through the top of the lateral rib (see, for example, Patent Document 2). '
ところで、 パネルの封着時に排出される不純ガスの量は、 例えば 、 蛍光体の色ごとに異なっている。 ぞのため、 従来技術のよう'に、 蛍光体の色による不純ガスの量の差異を考慮せずに排気経路を検討 しても、 不純.ガスの効果的な排気を行うことは難しかった。  By the way, the amount of impure gas discharged at the time of sealing the panel is different for each color of the phosphor, for example. Therefore, as in the prior art, even if the exhaust route was examined without considering the difference in the amount of impure gas depending on the color of the phosphor, it was difficult to exhaust the impure gas effectively.

The aim is to provide a highly productive and reliable PDP by effectively exhausting even PDPs with closed partition structures such as box partitions.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a front substrate, 2 is a rear substrate, 3 is a vent hole, 4 is a display area, 5 is a seal portion, 1 3 is a gap between the seal portion and the end of the display region, Reference numerals 1 4 1 to 1 4 3 denote exhaust paths in the display cell. Here, for example, reference numeral 1 4 1 represents the exhaust path of the discharge cell coated with the red (R) phosphor, 1 4 2 represents the exhaust path of the discharge cell coated with the green (G) phosphor, and 1 and 4 3 are coated with a blue (B) phosphor. The exhaust path of the discharge cell is shown.

The display area 4 is formed in a matrix. '.
表示領域 4の周囲には、' シール部 5が設けられ、 また、 シール部 5の内 jには、 パネル内の排気を行うと共に、 放電ガスを封入する ための通気穴 3が設けられている。 ^表示領域 4では、 各放電セルを 囲むように隔壁が構成され、 例えば、 縦方向に同一色の蛍光体が繰 り返しパターンで塗布されている。  Around the display area 4, a seal part 5 is provided, and in the seal part 5, a ventilation hole 3 is provided for exhausting the inside of the panel and for discharging discharge gas. . ^ In the display area 4, barrier ribs are formed so as to surround each discharge cell. For example, phosphors of the same color are applied in a repeated pattern in the vertical direction.
P D Pは、 前面基板 1 と背面基板 2 とを熱プロセスを介して気密 接着させるが、 この熱プロセスにより各色の蛍光体から発生される 不純ガスは、 各色用の放電セルの排気経路 1 4 1〜 1 4 3、 並びに 、 シール部 5 と表示領域 4の端部との間の隙間 1 3を利用して通気 穴 3から痱出する。 なお、 非表示領域の形状や通気穴 3の位置や数 等は図 1 に示すものに限定されず、 様々なもめがあり得る。.  In the PDP, the front substrate 1 and the rear substrate 2 are hermetically bonded through a thermal process. The impure gas generated from the phosphors of each color by this thermal process is exhausted from the discharge cell for each color 1 4 1 4 3, and a gap 13 between the seal part 5 and the end of the display area 4 is used to protrude from the vent hole 3. It should be noted that the shape of the non-display area and the position and number of the vent holes 3 are not limited to those shown in FIG. .
本発明に係る P D Pは、 隔壁の構造を改良して、 色ご,とに異なる 蛍光体の脱ガス特性に応じて排気経路の大きさを変えることで、 排 気コンダクタンスを改善させるものである。  P D P according to the present invention improves the exhaust conductance by improving the structure of the partition walls and changing the size of the exhaust path according to the degassing characteristics of the phosphors different in color.
すなわち、 図 1 に示される うに、 赤色用の蛍光体 (R用蛍光体 ) が塗布された放電セルの排気経路 1 4 1の広さ、 緑色用の蛍光体 ( G用蛍光体) が塗布された放電セルの排気経路 1 4 2の広さ、 並 びに、 青色用の蛍光体 (B用蛍光体) が塗布された放電セルの排気 経路 1 4 3の広さを、. パネルの封着時に排出される各色の蛍光体に よる不純ガスの量に応じて設定するようになっている'。 That is, as shown in Fig. 1, the discharge cell exhaust path 14 1 coated with a red phosphor (R phosphor), the green phosphor (G phosphor) is applied. The discharge cell exhaust path 1 4 2 is wide, and the discharge cell exhaust path 1 4 3 is coated with blue phosphor (B phosphor). When sealing the panel For each color phosphor to be discharged According to the amount of impure gas is set according to '.
具体的に、 パネルの封着時に蛍光体から排出される不純ガスの量 は 例えば、 R用蛍光体が一番少なく、 B用蛍光体が一番多く、 そ して、 G用蛍光体が両者の間なので、 それに応じて、. R用蛍光体が 塗布された放電セルの排気経路 1 4 1 は一番狭く、 B用蛍光体が塗 布された放電セルの排気経路 1 4 3は一番広く、 そして、 G用蛍光 体が塗布された放電セルの排気経路 1 4 2は両者の間の広さとする ようになっている。: '  Specifically, the amount of impure gas discharged from the phosphor when the panel is sealed is, for example, the smallest phosphor for R, the largest phosphor for B, and the phosphor for G both. Accordingly, the discharge path 1 4 1 of the discharge cell coated with the phosphor for R is the narrowest, and the exhaust path 1 4 3 of the discharge cell coated with the phosphor for B is the first. Widely, the exhaust path 14 2 of the discharge cell to which the phosphor for G is applied is wide between them. : '

図 2 に示されるように、 背面基板 2には、 アドレス電.極 1 2が形 成され、 誘電体 1 1がその上を覆い、 さらに、 その上に縦方向の隔 壁 2 5が形成されている。  As shown in Fig. 2, the back substrate 2 has an address electrode 1 2 formed thereon, the dielectric 1 1 covers it, and a vertical partition wall 25 is formed thereon. ing.
ここで、 隣接する縦方向の 壁 2 5の間には、 順番に R用蛍光体 1 8 、 B用蛍光体 2 0および G用蛍光体 1 9が繰り返して塗布され 、 これらの蛍光体が塗布された放電セルの真上に前面基板 ( 1 ) の 電極の放電ギャップが来るように配置される。  Here, between the adjacent vertical walls 25, the phosphor for R 18, the phosphor for B 20, and the phosphor for G 19 are repeatedly applied in order, and these phosphors are applied. It is arranged so that the discharge gap of the electrode of the front substrate (1) comes directly above the discharge cell.
ここで、 図 2に示されるように、 本第 1実施例の P D Pにおいて 、 縦方向の放電セルを分離する横方向の隔壁 2 4 ( 2 4 R , 2 4 G , 2 4 B ) は、 単光体の色によって高さが異なるようにして形成さ れている。 Here, as shown in FIG. 2, in the PDP of the first embodiment, The horizontal barrier ribs 24 (2 4 R, 24 G, and 24 B) separating the vertical discharge cells are formed so as to have different heights depending on the color of the single light body.
図 3は、 本発明に るプラズマディスプレイパネルの第 1実施例 における放電セルの構造を示す横断面図であり、 横方向の (^壁 2 4 に沿って切断したものである。 ' ·  FIG. 3 is a transverse cross-sectional view showing the structure of the discharge cell in the first embodiment of the plasma display panel according to the present invention, which is cut along the horizontal direction (^ wall 2 4.
図 3から明らかなように、 横方向の隔壁 2 4の高さは、 塗布され た蛍光体の色に応じて高さが異なるようになつている。 すなわち、 R用蛍光体 1 .8が塗布ざれた領域の隔壁 2 4 Rの离さが一番高く、 B用蛍光体 2 0が塗布された領域の隔壁 2 4 Bの高さが一番低く、 そして、 G用蛍光体 1 9が塗布された镡域の隔壁 2 4 Gの高さが 者の中間の高さとなるようにされでいる。  As is apparent from FIG. 3, the height of the partition walls 24 in the horizontal direction is different depending on the color of the applied phosphor. That is, the partition wall 24 R in the region where the phosphor for R 1.8 is not applied is the highest, and the partition wall 24 B in the region where the phosphor for B 20 is applied is the lowest. Further, the height of the partition wall 24 G in the region where the phosphor for G 19 is applied is set to the middle height of the person.
これは、 前述したように、 例えば、 パネルの封着時 (熱プロセス 時) に蛍光体から排出される不純ガスの犟は、 R用蛍光体 1 8がー 番少なぐ、. B用蛍光体 2 0が一番多く、 そして、 G用蛍光体 1 9が 両者の間であるからである。 すなわち、 R用蛍光体 1 8からの不純 ガスの量は、 一番少ないために、 R用蛍光体 1 8が塗布された領域 の隔壁 2 4 Rの高さを一番高く して前面基板 1 (前面基板 1上に形 成された保護膜) 'との間隙 (排.気経路) を狭く しても十分に排気で きる場合でも、 B用蛍光体 2 0からの不純ガスの量は、 一番多いた めに、 B用蛍光体 2 0が塗布された領域の隔壁 2 4 Bの高さを一番 低く して前面基板 1 との間隙を広く しないと十分な排気を行えない ためである。 ,  This is because, as described above, for example, when the panel is sealed (thermal process), the impurity gas exhausted from the phosphor is less phosphorous for the R phosphor 18. This is because 20 is the most, and G phosphor 19 is between them. That is, since the amount of impure gas from the phosphor for R 18 is the smallest, the partition wall 2 in the region where the phosphor for R 18 is applied is set to the highest height of the partition wall. (Protective film formed on front substrate 1) Even if the gap (exhaust air path) is narrowed and exhausted sufficiently, the amount of impure gas from phosphor for B 20 is Because it is the most common, the partition wall 24 in the area where the phosphor for B 20 is applied 4 4 B cannot be exhausted enough unless the height of B is made the lowest to widen the gap with the front substrate 1 is there. ,
なお、 本明細書の説明では、 パネルの封着時に蛍光体から排出さ れる不純ガスの量を、 R用蛍光体 1 8が一番少なく、 B用蛍光体 2 0が一番多く、 そして、 G用蛍光体 1 9が両者の間であるとして説 明している力 これは単なる例であり、 最も不純ガスの量が多い蛍 光体が塗布された領域の隔壁 2 4 ·の高さを一番低く し、 排気経路を 広く して十分な排気を行うように構成するのはいうまでもない。 In the description of this specification, the amount of impure gas discharged from the phosphor when the panel is sealed is the smallest for the phosphor for R 18, the largest for the phosphor for B 20, and The force that the phosphor for G 19 explains as being between the two This is just an example, the most impure gas amount Needless to say, the height of the partition wall 24 in the area where the light is applied is made the lowest, and the exhaust path is widened so that sufficient exhaust is performed.
このように、 本第 1実施例の P D Pによれば、 前面基板 1 と背面 基板 2 との重ね合わせ後に排気経路となる隙間の大きさを、 色ごと に異なる蛍光体が塗布された領域内で発生する不純 スの量に対応 させて設定することにより、 P D P全体の排気コンダクタンスを向 上させることができる。 また、 ボックス構造のような閉鎖系隔壁を 有するパネルでは、' 隔擘 2 4を不必要に低ぐ設定しなくてもよいた め、 隔壁の放電干渉を抑制する効果も維持することができる。' なお、' 上述し.た塗布された蛍光体の色に応じて隔壁の高さを異な らせるという隔壁の構造は、 例えば、 ドッ ト印刷法 (例えば、 イン クジエツ 卜法) を用いることで実現可能である。 また、 熱収縮特性 を有する材料を焼成して隔壁を形成する場合、 焼成前の隔壁が同じ 高さでも幅が異なると焼成後の高さが異よることを利用して、 すな わち、 厚い隔壁は薄い隔壁よりも幅方向の収縮は小さい.反面、 高さ 方向の収縮が大きいと う特性を使用して形成することもできる。 この特性を利用することにより、 工程数を増やすことなく、 横隔壁 2 4の高さを塗布された蛍光体の'色に応じて形成することができる なお、 以上の説明では、 蛍光体の 3色全てにおいて排気経路とな る隙間の大きさが異なる例を示したが、 例えば、 B用蛍光体 2 0が 塗布された領域の隔壁 2 4 Bの高さだけを R用蛍光体 1 8および G 用蛍光体 1 9が塗布された領¾の隔壁 2 4 Rおよび 2 4 Gよりも低 くするといつた 1色のみ排気経路となる隙間の大きさを異ならせる ようにしても良い。  As described above, according to the PDP of the first embodiment, the size of the gap that becomes the exhaust path after the front substrate 1 and the rear substrate 2 are superposed on each other in the region where the phosphors different in color are applied. The exhaust conductance of the entire PDP can be improved by setting it according to the amount of impurity generated. Further, in a panel having a closed partition wall such as a box structure, it is not necessary to set the partition 24 to be unnecessarily low, so that the effect of suppressing the discharge interference of the partition wall can be maintained. Note that the barrier rib structure in which the height of the barrier ribs is made different according to the color of the applied phosphor as described above, for example, by using a dot printing method (for example, an ink jet method). It is feasible. In addition, when a partition wall is formed by firing a material having heat shrinkage characteristics, the height after firing differs depending on the width even if the partition height before firing is the same height. Thick barrier ribs have less shrinkage in the width direction than thin barrier ribs, but can also be formed using the property that the shrinkage in the height direction is large. By utilizing this characteristic, the height of the horizontal barrier ribs 24 can be formed in accordance with the color of the coated phosphor without increasing the number of processes. An example in which the size of the gap serving as the exhaust path is different in all colors is shown. For example, only the height of the partition wall 24 B in the region where the phosphor 20 B is applied is set to the phosphor 18 for R and When lower than the partition walls 24 R and 24 G in the region where the phosphor for G 19 is applied, the size of the gap serving as the exhaust path may be varied only when one color is used.
[実施例 2 ]  [Example 2]
図 4は、 本発明に係るプラズマディスプレイパネルの第 2実施例 における放電セルを模式的に示す平面図である。 FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the plasma display panel according to the present invention. It is a top view which shows typically the discharge cell in.
図 4に示され!)ように、 本第 2実施例の P D Pは、 まず、 上述し たように、 横方向の隔壁 2 4の高さを、 塗布された蛍光体の色に応 じて異なるようにするために、' 隔壁の幅を異ならせるようになって いる。  Shown in Figure 4! As described above, in order to make the height of the horizontal partition walls 24 different according to the color of the applied phosphor, as described above, 'The width of the bulkhead is different.
すなわち、 前述した特許文献 1に記載されているように、 熱収縮 特性を有する材料で形成した隔壁に関して、 .幅の広い隔壁は、 幅の 狭い隔壁に比べて幅方向の収縮が小さくて高さ方向の収縮が大きい ために高さが低くなる。 '  That is, as described in Patent Document 1 described above, with respect to the partition wall formed of a material having heat shrinkage characteristics, a wide partition wall is smaller in height and contracted in the width direction than a narrow partition wall. The height decreases due to the large shrinkage in the direction. '
そ.こで、 R用蛍光体 1 8が塗布された領域の隔壁 2 4 Rの幅 W 1 を一番広く、 B用蛍光体 2 0が塗布された領域の隔壁 2 4 Bの幅 W 3 を一番狭く、 そして、 G用蛍光体 1 9が塗布された領域の隔壁 2 4 Gの幅 W 2を両者の中間としている。  Therefore, the partition wall 2 in the region coated with the phosphor for R 2 8 4 has the widest width W 1 of the R, and the partition wall in the region coated with the phosphor for B 2 0 2 4 The width W 3 of B The width W 2 of the partition wall 2 4 G in the region where the phosphor for G 19 is applied is set to be in between.
さらに、 本第 2実施例の P D Pは、 縦方向に隣接する放電セル間 の横方向の隔壁 2 4·の幅を広く レて、 その隔壁 2' 4 ·に横方向の排気 経路 2 6 を形成し、 さら.に、 R G Βの各色用の放電セルの縦方向の 排気経路 1 4 1:〜 1 4 3 と連結して P D Ρ全体の排気コンダクタン スをより一層向上させるようになっている。 ' '  Further, in the PDP of the second embodiment, the width of the horizontal partition 24 between the discharge cells adjacent in the vertical direction is widened, and a horizontal exhaust path 26 is formed in the partition 2'4. In addition, the exhaust conductance of the discharge cell for each color of RG Β is connected to the vertical exhaust path 1 4 1 to 1 4 3 to further improve the exhaust conductance of the entire PD Ρ. . ''
このように、 縦方向に隣接す.る放電セル間の横方向の隔壁 2 4の 幅を広く して排気経路 2 6を形成することにより、 例え,ば、 ボック ス構造のような閉鎖系の隔壁を持つパネルでは、 放電干渉を抑制す る効果も得ることができる。 なお、 上記の隔壁構造は、 ドッ ト印刷 法を用いることで実現可能な は前述した通りである。  In this way, by forming the exhaust passage 26 by increasing the width of the horizontal partition 24 between the discharge cells adjacent in the vertical direction, for example, a closed system such as a box structure is formed. In a panel having a partition wall, an effect of suppressing discharge interference can be obtained. As described above, the barrier rib structure can be realized by using the dot printing method.
以上において、 本第 2実施例の P D Pは、 横方向の隔壁 2 4に排 気経路 2 6を形成するために隔壁 2 4の幅が広くなるが、 これは、 隔壁 2 4の幅を外方向に幅を広げることで放電セルの発光領域の面 積を変えないようにすることが可能でなる。 なお、 最も外方向に幅 を広げる隔壁を持つ放電セルは、 隔壁の高さを最も低く して排気経 路を広くする必要がある蛍光体、 すなわち、 焼成温度での不純ガス の量が最も多い蛍光体の放電セル (例えば、 B用蛍光体 2 0が塗布 された放電セル) が している。 In the above, in the PDP of the second embodiment, the width of the partition wall 24 is increased in order to form the exhaust path 26 in the lateral partition wall 24, but this increases the width of the partition wall 24 to the outward direction. By increasing the width, it is possible to keep the area of the light emitting region of the discharge cell from changing. The outermost width A discharge cell having a barrier rib that spreads out the phosphor has a minimum height of the barrier rib and requires a wider exhaust path, that is, a discharge cell of a phosphor having the largest amount of impure gas at the firing temperature (for example, A discharge cell coated with phosphor for B 20).

図 5は、 本発明に係るプラズマディスプレイパネルの第 3実施例 における放電セルを模式的に示す平面図である.。  FIG. 5 is a plan view schematically showing a discharge cell in the third embodiment of the plasma display panel according to the present invention.
図 5に示されるように、 本第 3実施例の P D Pは、 横方向に繰り 返して配置される R B G 'の放電セルにおいて、 パネルの封着時' .(焼 成温度)' に排出される不純ガスの量が最も多い B用蛍光体 2 0が塗 布された領域の放電セル Bの横方向の隔壁 ( 2 4 B ) を 1つ置きに 取り除いたものである。 この横方向の隔壁 ( 2 4 B ) が取り除かれ た 1つ置きの放電セル Bと横方向の排気経路 2 6により、 ジグザグ 状の排気経路が形成されることになる。  As shown in FIG. 5, the PDP of the third embodiment is discharged to “. (Burning temperature)” when the panel is sealed in the discharge cell of RBG that is repeatedly arranged in the horizontal direction. This is obtained by removing every other horizontal partition (24 B) of the discharge cell B in the region coated with the phosphor for B 20 having the largest amount of impure gas. A zigzag exhaust path is formed by every other discharge cell B from which the horizontal barrier ribs (24B) are removed and the horizontal exhaust path 26.
なお、ノ前述したように、 横方向の隔壁を取り除く放電セルは、. . B 用蛍光体 2 0が塗布され.'た領域の放電セル Bに限定されるものでは なく、 例えば、 G用蛍光体 1 8が塗布された領域の放電セル Gであ つてもよく'、 また、 例えば、 放電セル Bおよび放電セル Gの両方の 横方向の隔壁 2 4 Bおよび 2 4 .Gを取り除ぐこともできる.。  As described above, the discharge cell for removing the horizontal barrier ribs is not limited to the discharge cell B in the region where the phosphor 20 for B is applied. The discharge cell G in the area to which the body 18 is applied may also be removed, for example by removing the lateral barriers 2 4 B and 2 4 .G of both the discharge cell B and the discharge cell G You can also ...
このように、 本第 3実施例の P D Pでは、 蛍光体が塗布された放 電セルは、 四方が隔壁に囲まれたセル 2 7 と、 縦方向の両側面のみ 隔壁に挟まれたセル 2 8の 2種類が存在することになる。  Thus, in the PDP of the third embodiment, the discharge cell coated with the phosphor is divided into the cell 2 7 surrounded by the barrier ribs on all sides, and the cell 2 8 sandwiched between the barrier ribs only on both sides in the vertical direction. There will be two types.
この構造により、 前述した 方向の排気経路 1 4 1〜 1 4 3の他 に、 非発光領域に設けられた横方向の排気経路 2 6 と横方向の隔壁 が設けられていない放電セルの発光領域内とを通るジグザグ状の排 気経路も形成され、 パネル面を均等にそしてより一層高いコンダク タンスで脱ガスの排気を行うことが可能になる。 なお、 縦方向の両側面のみ隔壁に挟まれたセル 2 8に塗布され'る 蛍光体は、 封着排気時の脱ガス量が他の蛍光体に比べて多いものが 有効であり、 例えば、 青色 ( B ) 用蛍光体.2 0が好ましいのは前述 した通りである。 With this structure, in addition to the exhaust paths 14 1 to 1 4 3 in the above-described direction, the light-emitting area of the discharge cell in which the horizontal exhaust path 2 6 provided in the non-light-emitting area and the horizontal barrier ribs are not provided. A zigzag exhaust path is also formed through the inside, which makes it possible to exhaust the gas out of the panel evenly and with higher conductance. In addition, it is effective that the phosphor applied to the cell 28 sandwiched between the partition walls only on both sides in the vertical direction has a larger degassing amount at the time of sealing exhaust than other phosphors. The blue (B) phosphor.20 is preferable as described above.

It has come to provide. This prevents the phosphors in the discharge cells 28 sandwiched between the barrier ribs in the vertical direction from adhering to the gaps that continue in the horizontal direction, and prevents discharge from drying out and deterioration in display image quality (for example, display unevenness). be able to. Further, instead of forming the partial transverse bulkhead 3, the end of the vertical partition 25 may be thickened in the inner direction corresponding to the partial transverse bulkhead 30. '

Instead of providing 0, in the horizontal exhaust path 26, a partial vertical partition 3 1 having a height lower than that of the vertical partition 2 5 is provided in the vicinity of the discharge cell 28 sandwiched between the vertical partitions only in the vertical direction. Installed so that the phosphor of discharge cell 28 does not adhere to gaps that continue in the horizontal direction. Thus, it is possible to prevent discharge interference and display image quality degradation.
ここで、 部分縦隔壁 3 1 の幅 W 5は、 例えば、 縦方向の隔壁 2. 5 の幅 W 4よりも広くされており、 これにより、 部分縦隔壁 3 1 の高 さを隔壁 2 . 5の高さよりも低く形成するようになっている。  Here, the width W 5 of the partial vertical partition 3 1 is made wider than, for example, the width W 4 of the vertical partition 2.5, so that the height of the partial vertical partition 3 1 is increased to the partition 2.5. It is designed to be lower than the height.
