Abstract
An overview of plasma display panel fundamentals is presented. This article begins by describing the physics of a gas discharge. Then the technologies used to form the front plate and the rear plate of a plasma display panel are described. After the assembly of a vacuum-sealed plasma display has been introduced, the display cell operation mechanism and the driving techniques for a plasma display panel are discussed. Finally, directions for future research are mentioned.
