Spatiotemporal behavior of the excited Xe atom density in the 1s ₅ metastable state according to the hoof‐type electrode structure in an alternating‐current plasma display panel

Abstract To improve the luminescence characteristics of high‐efficiency alternating‐current plasma display panels (AC‐PDPs), we developed a new hoof‐type electrode structure, and we studied the spatiotemporal behavior of the density of the excited Xenon atom in the 1s5 metastable state via laser absorption spectroscopy. Using this structure, the maximum density of the excited Xenon atom per cell was improved by 2.4 times that when the conventional electrode structure was used.
