Abstract

A newly designed plasma display with a cylindrical hollow cathode has been proposed and investigated to study the relationship between the photoluminous efficiency and the discharge characteristics. The photoluminous efficiency and discharge characteristics are dependent on the geometry factors of the cylindrical hollow cathode and gas pressure in the plasma display. When p×d (where p is the gas pressure and d is the hole diameter of the cylindrical hollow cathode) is below 2 torr·cm, the plasma display has as much as five times higher luminous efficiency compared to that for p×d above 2 torr·cm and it also shows a positive current-voltage (I-V) slope as in an abnormal glow
