AC TYPE PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL, PLASMA DISPLAY DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR DRIVING AC TYPE PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an AC-PDP capable of suppressing or avoiding erroneous discharging. SOLUTION: On the side with a back face glass substrate, column electrodes W1-Wm are arranged at a constant pitch in the first direction D1. Row electrodes X1-Xn and ones Y1-Yn are composed of band-shaped parent electrodes Xb1-Xbn and ones Yb1-Ybn extending in the second direction D2 and transparent electrodes Xt and Xt in square shape with one-side ends connected to the parent electrodes Xb1-Xbn and the others Yb1-Ybn in such an arrangement that they are laid at a constant pitch alternately on that surface of a front face glass substrate on its side with the discharge space 111. The transparent electrodes Xt and Yt are overhung zigzag into one of two unit regions AR adjoining in the first direction D1 in such a way as pinching the parent electrodes Xb1 and Yb1 with which one-side ends of the transparent electrodes Xt and Yt are connected. Each unit region AR is divided into a discharge cell C having a discharge gap formed from the opposing edges of the transparent electrodes Xt and Yt and a non-discharge cell NC not having any discharge gap, wherein the discharge cell C is not adjoining in the first direction D1 nor second direction D2.
