Abstract

The real test panel with the $200{\mu}m$ discharge gap in a coplanar AC plasma display panel was investigated. The auxiliary electrode was placed between two sustain electrodes and used for providing wall charges and prime particle during sustain period. The luminous efficiency had the maximum value when the voltage of the auxiliary pulses was 20 ${\sim}$ 100[V]. The luminous efficiency of coplanar long-gap discharge with auxiliary electrode was 2.6 times as much as that of the conventional structure.
