Abstract

In order to improve the luminous efficiency in ac PDP(Plasma Display Panel), we have suggested a new bridge type sustaining electrode which makes it possible to have free alignment between front and rear panels. The luminous efficiency of the ac PDP with suggested new sustaining electrode is improved by about 28% compared with that of conventional sustaining electrode. However, the luminance of the ac PDP with the suggested electrode is kept the same with the conventional ones.
