Abstract

In this paper, a new structure for a dC plasma display pane(PDP) with a wall-catode and a wall-auxilizry anode has been suggested. The wall-cathode with a sufficient discharge area maximizes the discharge volume. The auxiliary anode surrounding the discharge region makes the effective control of the charged particles possible. We have investigated the cahracteristics of the new cell structure with a 2-dimensional computer simulation and a micro gap discharge system, and compared experimentally with those of previous cell structure. The new cell structure with the wall-cathode and auxiliary wall-anode turned out to have improved luminance, discharge forming time and sustain voltage.
