Title:
COLOR FIBER-BASED PLASMA DISPLAY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003054903
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
An array of complex shaped top fibers (47) that each include an address electrode (41), barrier ribs (42) to form a plasma channel and a phosphor coating on the plasma channel create the structure in a plasma display channel. The top fiber array (47) is disposed on the plate facing the viewer and the light generated by the phosphors must penetrate through the top fibers to the viewer. The top fibers can be composed of a colored material associated with the color phosphor layer to add color purity and contrast to the plasma panel. The sustain electrodes (33a, 33b) are placed on the plate facing way from the viewer and can be included in an array of fibers containing wire sustaining electrodes. The sustain electrode surface does not need to be transmissive since the generated light is transmitted through the top fiber array (47). Therefore, the sustain electrodes (33a, 33b) can be composed of a reflective metal and cover the majority of the surface of the bottom plate. The sustain electrode bottom plate or array can also be reflective to reflect both the UV light generated by the plasma back toward the phosphor layer and the visible light generated by the phosphor layer back toward the viewer.
