PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL AND ITS DRIVING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve discharge characteristics, luminance, and contrast in dark. SOLUTION: The plasma display panel is provided with a front-face glass substrate 1 and a rear-face glass substrate 4 opposing each other through a discharge space, a plurality of row electrode pairs (X, Y) fitted on a front-face glass substrate 1 side, a plurality of column electrodes D fitted to be extended to a direction crossing the row electrode pairs (X, Y) on the rear-face glass substrate 4 side and each forming a discharge cell C in the discharge space of each crossing part with the row electrode pair, and a phosphor layer 7 fitted to a position facing the discharge cells between the column electrodes D and the row electrode pairs (X, Y). MgO crystal 7B is contained in a region of a part exposed in the discharge cell C of the phosphor layer 7. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
