Surface discharge type plasma display panel

摘要

The invention concerns a plasma screen of the surface discharge type in which the discharge electrodes are covered with a dielectric layer. Disadvantages of prior art plasma screens of the surface discharge type are the relatively high ignition voltage for the gas discharge and the low efficiency. In order to obtain a plasma screen of the surface discharge type with improved discharge efficiency, it its proposed that the capacitance of the dielectric layer C=f (layer thickness d, dielectric constant epsi) is varied in a direction transversal to the discharge channel.
