Abstract

The dielectric layers in AC plasma display panel(AC PDP) are essential to the discharge cell structure, because they protect metal electrodes from sputtering by positive ion and from a sheath of wall charges which are essential to memory function of AC PDP. Furthermore, this layer should be transparent because the visible light must pass through the layer. In this paper, the dielectric breakdown strength and transparency of the dielectric layer on the discharge electrodes are studied. The variables in this test are the dielectric layer thickness, dielectric firing condition, gas pressure, species of gas and so on.
