Abstract

A new front plate structure of ac-PDP was explored using fence-type aluminum electrode coated with anodic aluminum oxide.[1] In this structure, ITO and glass dielectric layer were eliminated and expensive Ag BUS electrode was replaced with aluminum. Test panels were prepared using the new structure and their luminance and discharge characteristics were examined. These results indicate that the new structure provide a new way of cost reduction and enhancement of performance of ac-PDPs
