Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gas discharge type display panel (hereinafter, abbreviated as a gas discharge panel), and particularly to an electrode structure thereof.

(Prior Art) Gas discharge panels include a monochrome display and a full-color display. The full-color display is expected to be suitable for, for example, a wall-mounted high-definition television. Hereinafter, the structure of a conventional gas discharge panel will be described by taking a gas discharge panel capable of full color display as an example.

As a conventional gas discharge panel of this kind, for example, a document (IEICE Technical Report EID87-721988), pp. 55-6
0) was disclosed. The gas discharge panel disclosed in this document has a two-body structure which is rich in mass productivity and suitable for upsizing, and has a structure as described below. FIG. 5 (A) is a diagram provided for the explanation, and is a partial perspective view showing a cutaway part of the gas discharge panel.

In FIG. 5A, reference numeral 11 denotes a front substrate. further
Reference numeral 12 denotes a display anode bus as a sub-scanning electrode. Many display anode buses 12 are juxtaposed in the sub-scanning direction. further
12a shows a display anode. The display anode 12a is composed of a portion of the display anode bus 12 that is exposed from the insulating film 13.
Further, reference numeral 14 denotes a display cell spacing wall (hereinafter, sometimes abbreviated as a cell spacing wall), 15 denotes a display cell whose discharge space is defined by the cell spacing wall 14, and 16 denotes a phosphor. A large number of display cells 15 are arranged in each of the scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction. Further, reference numeral 17 denotes a display cathode bus as a scanning electrode. A large number of display cathode buses 17 are juxtaposed in the scanning direction. Further, 17a is a display cathode, 17b is a pilot fire cathode, 18 is a pilot discharge space (hereinafter, referred to as an auxiliary discharge cell 18), 19 is a pilot fire anode bus, and 19a is a pilot fire anode. The seed-fire anode 19a is configured by a portion of the seed-fire anode bus 19 that is exposed from the insulating film 13. Furthermore, 20 is the auxiliary discharge cell 18
A priming hole for supplying a pilot flame to the display cell 15 and 21 indicates a rear substrate. The display cells 15 and the auxiliary discharge cells 18 are filled with a He-Xe mixed gas as a discharge gas.

In the gas discharge panel having such a configuration, the display anode 12a
When a voltage of several hundred volts is applied between the display cathode 17a, plasma discharge occurs in the display cell 15. Then, the phosphor 16 is excited and emitted by the ultraviolet light generated at the time of the discharge, and as a result, color display is performed. When a predetermined voltage is applied between the pilot fire cathode 17b and the pilot fire anode 19a, the auxiliary discharge cell 18
Causes a pilot discharge.

Note that a method of thick film printing is generally used for manufacturing this type of gas discharge panel.

Next, the electrode structure of the display cell portion of the gas discharge panel will be described. FIG. 5 (B) is a diagram provided for the explanation, and is a plan view schematically showing, in an enlarged manner, one display cell portion of the gas discharge panel shown in FIG. 5 (A).

In this gas discharge panel, in order to increase the aperture ratio of the display cells, the display cathode bus 17 is embedded in the cell spacing wall 14, and the display cathode 17a is formed by projecting a part of the display cathode bus 17. It had been. In addition, the display anode 12a
Is the display cathode so that the discharge spreads throughout the display cell 15.
It was located approximately diagonally to 17a.

By the way, in this type of gas discharge panel, it is known that the area of the cathode and the wiring resistance of the cathode greatly affect the characteristics of the gas discharge panel. In this regard, in the conventional gas discharge panel as shown in FIG. 5, the thickness of the display cathode bus is at most about 10 to 15 μm, and its width can be made so wide considering the improvement of the display cell density. Absent. Therefore, with the cathode structure of this gas discharge panel, when a large panel such as a wall-mounted television is to be manufactured, the wiring resistance of the display cathode bus becomes very large. Therefore, the difference between the wiring resistance to the display cell on the side closer to the drive circuit of the display cathode bus and the wiring resistance to the display cell at the end of the display cathode bus cannot be ignored, and the emission luminance of both display cells is significantly different. Seems to occur. Further, although the display cathode 17a is configured by making the protruding portion small, it is certain that the display cathode 17a lowers the aperture ratio of the display cell 15, and improvement is desired.

Therefore, in order to make it possible to increase the cathode area, reduce the wiring resistance of the cathode, and increase the aperture ratio of the display cell, the applicant of the present application has filed Japanese Patent Application No.
There was a gas discharge panel proposed at -105274. FIG. 6 is a perspective view schematically showing one display cell portion of the gas discharge panel.

In FIG. 6, 41 is a display cathode bus, 42a, 42b and 42c are display cathodes made of the same material as the display cathode bus 41, 43 is a cathode wall made of an insulator, and 44 and 45 are cells between cells. A part of the partition, 46 is a phosphor, 47 is a display anode bus, 47a is a display anode, 48 is a priming hole, and 49 is an insulating anode protection film.

In this gas discharge panel proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 63-105274, one surface of a cell interval wall of each display cell has a display cathode bus 41.
Was constituted substantially by. For this reason, the display cathode bus 41 has a large cross-sectional area utilizing a space for forming the cell-interval wall, so that the wiring resistance is very small. Furthermore, since a part of the cell spacing wall itself becomes a display cathode, the aperture ratio can be improved.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in each case of the gas discharge panel described with reference to FIG. 5 and the gas discharge panel described with reference to FIG. 6, one scan electrode (display cathode bus) is used. , The display cells for one row in the sub-scanning direction belong to this configuration. Therefore, there is a problem that only the same number of display cells as the number of display cathode buses are provided in the scanning direction.

In the gas discharge panel described with reference to FIG.
Although the display cathode did not protrude toward the discharge space side, the sum of the width of the display cathode bus 41 and the width of the inter-cathode wall 43 is the width of the cell spacing wall. This width cannot be made very narrow by the current manufacturing technology, and as a result, there is a problem that the aperture ratio of the display cell is reduced. Further, there is a problem that it is very difficult to form the display cathode bus 41 and the inter-cathode wall 43 so that they are back to back.

Further, in the case of the gas discharge panel described with reference to FIG. 5, the display cathode 17a and the display anode 12a are arranged at substantially diagonal positions in the discharge space. For this reason, there has been a problem that the luminance directivity characteristic that the luminance of the panel changes depending on the direction in which a person looks at the panel tends to occur.

On the other hand, in the case of the gas discharge panel described with reference to FIG. 6, the display anode 47a is arranged at the center of the display cell, and three sides of the display cell are used as the display cathodes 42a, 42b, and 42c to improve the directional characteristics of luminance. Although it is planned, one surface of the cell spacing wall (the surface indicated by P in FIG. 6) does not contribute to light emission.
When this gas discharge panel is moved with the axis indicated by the axis of rotation as a rotation axis, there is a problem that the directivity characteristic of luminance is easily generated (the details will be described later with reference to FIG. 4 (A)).

The present invention has been made in view of such a point,
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gas discharge panel which can solve the above-mentioned problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve this object, according to the gas discharge panel of the present application, a large number of scanning electrodes and a large number of sub-scanning electrodes are provided.
In a gas discharge panel having a large number of display cells in each of the above-described scanning direction and sub-scanning direction, each of which has a discharge space defined by the cell spacing wall, In the cell spacing wall continuum composed of the parts connected in the direction, the entire portion or the main portion in the height direction of every other cell spacing wall continuity in the scanning direction described above is constituted by the scanning electrode, and Is characterized in that every other cell spacing wall continuum is made of a dielectric material.

In the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the display cells are arranged in a staggered manner in the scanning direction. Alternatively, it is preferable that the display cells are arranged in a matrix, and the sub-scanning electrodes are provided in a zigzag manner in the scanning direction.

In practicing the present invention, it is preferable that a portion of the cell interval wall of each display cell parallel to the scanning direction is made of the same material as that of the scanning electrode.

(Operation) According to such a configuration, two rows of display cells in the sub-scanning direction belong to one scan electrode (or one display cathode bus when the scan electrode is constituted by a display cathode bus, for example). Configuration.

Further, since the display cathode bus and the inter-cathode wall as shown in FIG. 6 do not need to be back to back, the width of the cell inter-spacing wall can be reduced by the absence of the inter-cathode wall.

Further, since both sides of the display cathode bus are used as display cathodes, when the gas discharge panel is rotated so that the display cathode bus is used as a rotation axis, the display cathode appears symmetrical in any direction. Become like

In addition, by disposing the display cells in a staggered manner in the scanning direction, or by arranging the sub-scanning electrodes (for example, display anode buses) in a staggered manner with the display cells arranged in a matrix, one The two display cells above and below (in the scanning direction) belonging to the scanning electrode can be assigned to different sub-scanning electrodes. Therefore, these two display cells can be simultaneously and independently driven.

In addition, by configuring the portion of the cell interval wall of each display cell parallel to the scanning direction with the same material as the constituent material of the scanning electrode, the area of the display cathode increases, so that the brightness of the gas discharge panel can be improved.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of a gas discharge panel of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the drawings used in the following description are only schematically shown to an extent that the present invention can be understood. Therefore, it should be understood that the dimensions, shapes and arrangement relationships of the respective components, and the dimensional ratios between the respective components are also schematic, and the present invention is not limited to only the illustrated examples. In the following embodiments, an example in which the scanning electrodes are formed by display cathode buses and the sub-scanning electrodes are formed by display anode buses, and an example in which the present invention is applied to a gas discharge panel capable of full-color display will be described.

First Embodiment First, a gas discharge panel according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B). The gas discharge panel of the first embodiment is basically an example in which the present invention is applied to the conventional gas discharge panel described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1A is a diagram provided for the explanation,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a part of the gas discharge panel according to the first embodiment, which is partially cut away. Also, FIG. 1 (B)
FIG. 2 is a partial plan view showing a region indicated by substantially S of the gas discharge panel shown in FIG. 1A as viewed from an R direction in FIG. 1A. In these figures, the same components as those shown in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals.
Also, components shown in FIG. 5 that are considered unnecessary for the description of the invention are not shown.

1 (A) and 1 (B), reference numeral 11 denotes a front substrate,
Denotes a display anode bus elongated in the scanning direction (the direction indicated by x in FIG. 1A). Many display anode buses 12 are juxtaposed in the sub-scanning direction (the direction indicated by y in FIG. 1A).
Furthermore, 12a is a display anode, 13 is an insulating film, 14 is a cell spacing wall, 15 is a display cell whose discharge space is defined by the cell spacing wall, 16 is a phosphor, 20 is a priming hole, and 21 is a back substrate. . Here, the display anode 12a is provided so as to protrude from the surface of the phosphor 16 toward the display cell to facilitate discharge.

Further, in the gas discharge panel of the first embodiment,
Of the cell spacing wall continuum 141, 142, 143, 144 formed of a portion of the cell spacing wall of each of a number of display cells connected in the sub-scanning direction connected in the sub-scanning direction, every other cell spacing wall continuity 141, 143 in the scanning direction Is constituted by a display cathode bus which is a scanning electrode, and the other every other cell spacing wall continuum 142, 144 is constituted by a dielectric. Thus, a single display cathode bus bar shown in example 143, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), a number of display cells 15a _1, 15a ₂ .15a ₃ ...
The first display cell row composed of… and a number of display cells 15
A common scanning cathode for the second display cell row composed of b ₁ , 15b ₂ .15b ₃ ,..., and the side surface functions as a display cathode of these display cells.

Further, in the gas discharge panel of the first embodiment, the display cells are arranged in a staggered manner in the scanning direction, and two display cells above and below one display cathode bus, for example, as shown in FIG. 1 (B). The display cells 15a ₂ and 15b ₂ do not belong to the same display anode bus.

As described above, in the gas discharge panel of the present invention, the display cathode buses 141 and 143 are formed so that the space where one of the cell spacing walls is to be formed also serves as the cell spacing wall. The film thickness can be made much thicker than the conventional one shown in FIG. 5, and as a result, the resistance value of the display cathode bus can be reduced similarly to the gas discharge panel shown in FIG. Further, in the gas discharge panel shown in FIG. 6, the display cathode bus and the inter-cathode wall had to be formed back to back, but this is not necessary in the present invention. For this reason, the width of the cell interval wall can be reduced by the absence of the inter-cathode wall,
The production of the gas discharge panel is also greatly facilitated.

In the panel of the first embodiment, both side walls 143a and 143b of the display cathode bus 143 serve as display cathodes of display cells above and below the display cathode bus 143. Therefore, the fifth
As compared with the gas discharge panel shown in the figure, the projection 17a (see FIG. 5) is not required, so that the aperture ratio of the display cell can be improved. Moreover, since the entire side surface serves as the display cathode, the area of the display cathode can be increased.

In the gas discharge panel of the first embodiment,
Since the display cells are arranged in a staggered manner, even if the display cathode bus which is a sub-scanning electrode is linear, two display cells belonging to one display cathode bus in the scanning direction are assigned to different sub-scanning electrodes. Be able to belong. Therefore, these two display cells can be simultaneously and independently driven.

Next, in order to better understand the present invention, the operation of the gas discharge panel according to the first embodiment will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

For example, when the display cathode bus 143 is scanned, the display cell 1
In 5a ₂ , one side 143b of the display cathode bus 143 and the display anode
Causing a discharge between the 12a _3. Further, in the display cell 15b ₂ ,
Causing a discharge between the other side surface 143a of the display cathode bus 143 and the display anode 12a _2. Thus, by disposing the display cells in a staggered manner, the upper and lower display cells belonging to one display cathode bus can be driven simultaneously and independently.

The above is the description of the first embodiment. However, the gas discharge panel of the first embodiment can obtain the same effects as those of the embodiment even if the following modifications are made.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the cell spacing wall continuum 141,143
Are constituted by display cathode buses. However, the main part in the height direction of the cell spacing wall continuum may be constituted by the display cathode bus. FIG. 2 (A) is a diagram provided for the explanation, and is a perspective view showing a part of a gas discharge panel of such a modified example in an enlarged manner. The same components as those in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers. However, components that are shown in FIG. 1 and are considered unnecessary for the description of this modified example are omitted.

In this example shown in FIG. 2 (A), Yes constitutes a major portion h ₁ in the height direction of the cell gap walls continuum 143 in display cathode bus 143 x, the remainder of h ₂ (h ₂ <h ₁ ) is composed of a dielectric 143y. Therefore, also in this case, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which two display cell columns belong to one display cathode bus 143, and it is possible to reduce the resistance of the display cathode bus and increase the display cathode area. Note that whether to what extent the ratio of h ₁ and h ₂ is determined depending on the design of the gas discharge panel.

Further, the display cells may be arranged in a matrix, and the display anode bus may be arranged in a staggered manner in the scanning direction. In this way, even if the display cells are arranged in a matrix, the two display cells above and below the display cathode bus can be prevented from belonging to one display anode bus. Second
FIG. 2B is a plan view showing this example. Display cell 15
Are arranged in a matrix, and each display anode bus 121 is arranged in a zigzag pattern so that two display cells continuously arranged in the scanning direction do not belong to the same display anode bus. is there.

Second Embodiment Next, a gas discharge panel according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B). In the panel of the second embodiment, a portion parallel to the scanning direction of the cell interval wall of each display cell of the panel of the first embodiment is formed of the same material as the constituent material of the display cathode bus, and the display anode is formed of the display cell. This is an example in which a central portion is exposed from the phosphor. That is, this is an example in which the present invention is applied to the conventional gas discharge panel shown in FIG. FIG. 3 (A) is a diagram provided for the explanation, and is a perspective view showing a part of the gas discharge panel of the second embodiment, partially cut away. FIG. 3 (B) is a partial plan view showing a region indicated by substantially T of the gas discharge panel shown in FIG. 3 (A) when viewed from the U direction in FIG. 3 (A). In these figures, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Also in the gas discharge panel of the second embodiment, the cell spacing wall continuum 141, which is constituted by a portion of the cell spacing wall of each of the plurality of display cells continuous in the sub-scanning direction and connected in the sub-scanning direction.
Of the 142, 143, 144, the entire part of every other cell spacing wall continuum 141, 143 in the scanning direction is constituted by the display cathode bus, and the other every other cell spacing wall continuum 142, 144 is constituted by the dielectric. is there. Further, in the second embodiment, the cell interval wall portions 14a to 14f parallel to the scanning direction (FIG. 3B)
) Is formed of the same material as the constituent material of the display cathode bus 143 (for example, a material obtained by curing a nickel paste). Therefore, each display cell is surrounded on three sides by the display cathode. As far in embodiment, the display cells 15a ₂ shown in FIG. 3 (B), one side 143b of the display cathode busbar 143
And a cell spacing wall portion 14a also serving as a display cathode, which is made of the same material as that of the display cathode bus 143, and a cell spacing wall portion 14b.

For this reason, the gas discharge panel of the second embodiment has a larger display cathode area than the gas discharge panel of the first embodiment. Further, the discharge in the display cell occurs more uniformly.

Also, in the gas discharge panel of the second embodiment,
Since the display cells 15 are arranged in a zigzag pattern, even if the display anode bus 12 serving as a sub-scanning electrode is linear, two display cells belonging to one display cathode bus in the scanning direction are subjected to different sub-scanning. It can be assigned to an electrode. Therefore, these two display cells can be simultaneously and independently driven.

Incidentally, also for the gas discharge panel of the second embodiment,
Obviously, the modifications described with reference to FIG. 2A and / or the modifications described with reference to FIG.

Experimental Results Next, the gas discharge panel of the second embodiment and the conventional gas discharge panel shown in FIG. 6 (hereinafter, referred to as the gas discharge panel of the comparative example) were manufactured as prototypes, and the directions of these gas discharge panels were adjusted. The characteristics were investigated.

The main trial conditions of each gas discharge panel are as follows.
The display cell pitch is 1.0 mm, and the opening area of the display cell is 0.7
× 0.7 mm ² , the height of the cell spacing wall was set to 0.2 mm, and a He-Xe (5%) mixed gas was sealed in the cell at a sealing gas pressure of 200 Torr. Further, the display cathode bus and the cell interval wall portion parallel to the scanning direction were manufactured using nickel paste (product number 2554) manufactured by ESL (Electro-Science Laboratory). In addition, other cell interval wall parts are Dupont
s (DuPont) glass paste (product number 9741)
It was produced using.

The directional characteristics of the gas discharge panels of the second example and the comparative example were measured by the method described below.

The gas discharge panel of the second embodiment (or comparative example) is set so that the surface on the front substrate side faces the luminance measuring device. The luminance measuring device is, for example, a device having a light meter, and may be any device that can measure the emission luminance of the gas discharge panel. Here, the state in which the surface of the gas discharge panel on the front substrate side faces the luminance measuring device substantially in parallel is defined as the front. Then, the gas discharge panel is set to W ₁ and W ₁ with the axis indicated by V in FIG. 3 (A) (in the case of the panel of the comparative example, the axis indicated by Q in FIG. 6) as the rotation axis.
(In Comparative Example Q ₁ and Q _{2) 2} to measure the luminance of the respective gas discharge panel is rotated little by little in both directions indicated by. FIG. 4 (A) shows the directivity of the gas discharge panel of the comparative example measured by such a method, and FIG. 4 (B) shows the directivity of the gas discharge panel of the second embodiment. In both figures, concentric circles mean the same luminance. Furthermore, the numbers “30 and 60” described on the arc mean the rotation angles from the front.

Gas discharge panel of the comparative example, as can be understood from FIG. 4 (A) is brightness seen that maximized when the panel was allowed to rotate about 30 degrees in the Q ₂ direction of FIG. 6. This is probably because only one side of the display cathode bus is used as the display cathode.

On the other hand, the gas discharge panel of the second embodiment is shown in FIG.
As can be understood from FIG. 2, it can be seen that the luminance is maximized in front, and that it shows ideal directional characteristics. this is,
It is considered that since both sides of the display cathode bus are used as display cathodes, the directional characteristics in a direction in which the display cathode bus becomes a rotation axis become symmetric.

The above is the description of each embodiment of the present invention and the experimental results. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made.

In the embodiment, a phosphor is provided on the rear substrate 21. However, depending on the design, a phosphor may be provided on the front substrate 11 as a matter of course.

Further, since the display cathode is formed on the side surface of the display cathode bus, the display cathode bus may be provided on the front substrate or the rear substrate.

Further, various improvements may be made, such as providing a light shielding mask on the substrate side to improve the contrast ratio.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the scanning electrodes are constituted by the display cathode buses and the sub-scanning electrodes are constituted by the display cathode buses. However, depending on the design, contrary to the embodiment, the scanning electrodes may be constituted by display anode buses and the sub-scanning electrodes may be constituted by display cathode buses.

In the embodiment, a gas discharge panel for full-color display is described as an example, but it is apparent that the present invention can be applied to a gas discharge panel for monochrome display.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the gas discharge panel of the present invention, a cell interval wall of each of a large number of display cells connected in the sub-scanning direction is constituted by a portion connected in the sub-scanning direction. Of the continuous cell-interval wall in the scanning direction, the entire portion or the main portion in the height direction of the alternate cell-interval wall in the scanning direction is constituted by a scanning electrode (display cathode bus in the embodiment). Both side surfaces are used as display electrodes. Therefore, the configuration is such that display cells for two rows in the sub-scanning direction belong to one scanning electrode. As a result, the number of scanning electrodes can be apparently reduced to half of the conventional number.

Further, as compared with the conventional gas discharge panel shown in FIG. 6, the width of the cell interval wall can be reduced by eliminating the need to configure the cell interval wall with the display cathode bus and the inter-cathode wall.
The aperture ratio of the display cell can be improved.

In addition, since both sides of the display cathode bus are used as display cathodes, when the gas discharge panel is rotated so that the display cathode bus is used as a rotation axis, the display cathode looks symmetrical in any direction. become. For this reason, the directional characteristics of the gas discharge panel are also symmetric, so that the directional characteristics can be improved.

Further, by disposing the display cells in a staggered manner in the scanning direction, or by arranging the sub-scanning electrodes (display anode buses in the embodiment) in a staggered manner while the display cells remain in a matrix arrangement, Since two display cells above and below (in the scanning direction) one display cathode bus can be assigned to different sub-scanning electrodes (display anode bus in the embodiment), these two display cells can be used. Can be simultaneously and independently driven.

In addition, by configuring the portion of each cell which is parallel to the scanning direction of the cell spacing wall with the same material as that of the scanning electrode, the area of the display cathode can be increased, and as a result, the brightness of the gas discharge panel can be improved. Can be improved.
