Abstract :
Plasma display panels (PDPs) are composed of miniature gas discharge devices sustained in noble gas mixtures. In this paper, the dynamics of a coplanar-electrode PDP cell are described using results from a two-dimensional computer simulation. During the first voltage pulse, the discharge takes place between the top and bottom electrodes. Due to charging of the bottom dielectric during the first discharge pulse, a surface discharge takes place between the top coplanar electrodes on successive pulses
