Plasma display panel having an auxiliary anode on the back substrate

摘要

A planar discharge type PDP in which all of the electrodes are formed on one substrate. Auxiliary and display anodes, first and second dielectric layers and display cathodes are formed in intersecting strips in substantially parallel planes. The second dielectric layer is provided with a light shielding plate to achieve a PDP in which auxiliary and display discharge both occur in a single cell, has increased luminance and efficiency of light transmission, and yields an increased lifetime for the phosphor layer of a color PDP.
