Device for forming partition walls of plasma display panel

摘要

A device for forming partition walls of a plasma display panel is disclosed. This device has a lower plate used for seating the base panel of the plasma display panel thereon, with a partition wall sheet of a predetermined thickness formed on the base panel and a plurality of electrodes arranged on the base panel. A punch, having a plurality of partition wall forming grooves and a plurality of lands formed between the partition wall forming grooves. An electrode holding groove or inclined surface is formed on each of the lands and is used for preventing the electrodes from being undesirably moved during a partition wall forming process. An upper plate is positioned above the punch so as to hold the punch and to move the punch in a vertical direction within a predetermined range. Due to the electrode holding grooves or the inclined surfaces formed on the lands, the device of this invention thus almost completely prevents an undesired movement of the printed address electrodes of the base panel, thus finally allowing a precise arrangement of the partition walls with the address electrodes on the base panel.
