Abstract

Inside of working PDP, there exist highly reactive conditions in the gap between two glass panels. MgO layer and phosphor have been investigated as a function of discharge and temperature. A drastic reduction in carbon impurity was observed on the surfaces after discharging and heat treatment. Carbon composition on the MgO and phosphor is a dominant factor for their instability
