The Study on the Fabrication and Characterization of Dielectric Materials of Front and Back Panel for PDP(Plasma Display Panel)

The glass compositions of $PbO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ system and $P_2O_5-PbO-ZnO$ system for the transparent dielectric materials for front panel and $P_2O_5-ZnO-BaO$ and $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ for the reflective dielectric materials for back panel of PDP(Plasma Display Panel) were investigated. As a transparent dielectric materials for front panel, $PbO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ glass showed good dielectric properties, high transparency and proper thermal expansion matching to soda-lime glass substrate. And the reflective dielectric materials for back panel were prepared from parent glass of $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ system and oxide filler. It was found that these glass-ceramics are useful materials for reflective dielectric layers, as those have a similar thermal expansion to soda-lime glass plate, high reflectance, low sintering temperature.
