Plasma display panel assembly and method for manufacturing the same
View Patent ↗A plasma display panel assembly includes electrodes and a dielectric layer covering the electrodes. The dielectric layer is formed of a low-melting-point glass, and the electrodes are formed of a metal containing a crystallized glass. The metal and the low-melting-point glass are simultaneously fired to complete the electrodes and the dielectric layer. Thus, in a manufacturing process of an AC plasma display panel, the number of firing steps can be reduced.
