Plasma-Anzeigevorrichtung

摘要

The brightness of plasma display panel and extend the life thereof are improved. Of glass substrates 3 and 5 facing each other via partitioning walls 6 and defining a predetermined electric discharge space, a conventional phosphor layer 7 is provided on the glass substrate 5, and an up-conversion phosphor layer 8 is provided on the other glass substrate 3. Application of a high voltage between discharge electrodes 1 and 2 causes electric discharge, generating vacuum ultraviolet radiation and infrared radiation. The up-conversion phosphor layer 8 converts the infrared radiation to visible light, while the conventional phosphor layer 7 converts the vacuum ultraviolet radiation to visible light.
