Recent developments in three-color plasma display panels

This paper describes recent developments in the fabrication of three-color-phosphor plasma display panels that improve both electrical and optical performance. The electro-optical characteristics of panels incorporating a phosphor bar pattern are presented, including the properties of panels fabricated with a black, UV-absorbing material surrounding the phosphors. In addition, processes developed to produce 20 × 20 in plasma panels with 512 × 512 three-color resolution elements at a total line density of 60 per inch are described.
