Abstract: | Abstract— A MgF2/MgO multiple protecting layer coated on a MgO layer in ac plasma‐display panels (AC‐PDPs) was developed to obtain high brightness and low driving voltages. The material characteristics of this layer were examined by carefully changing the deposition conditions, and the display characteristics of AC‐PDPs using this protecting layer were studied. It was demonstrated that this new method is effective in lowering the firing and sustaining voltages of PDPs and enhancing the brightness of the panel as well. |
