Abstract

A plasma display device provided with a green color phosphor which is charged entirely with a positive potential, adsorbs only limited amounts of water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon, and not liable to cause chemical reacttion thereto. The green color phosphor used is any one or a combination two or more kinds of phosphors selected from among compounds defined by the general formulae of M 1-x Al 12 O 19 :Mn x (where “M” denotes one of Ca, Sr, Eu and Zn) having a magnetoplumbite crystal structure, (Y 1-a-y Gd a ) (Ga 1-x Al x ) 3 (BO 3 ) 4 :Tb y , (Y 1-a-y Gd a ) (Ga 1-x Al x ) 3 (BO 3 ) 4 :Ce y , Tb y , (Y 1-a-y Gd a ) BO 3 :Tb y and (Y 1-a-y Gd a ) 3 (Ga 1-x Al x ) 5 O 12 :Tb y having any of an yttrium borate crystal structure and yttrium aluminate crystal structure.

Claims (4)

1. A plasma display device provided with a plasma display panel comprising a plurality of columns of discharge cells having one of a single color and multiple colors, and a phosphor layer disposed in each of the discharge cells, the phosphor layer having a color corresponding to the each discharge cell for emitting light when excited by ultraviolet rays, wherein

the phosphor layer includes a green color phosphor comprising a mixture of a phosphor material defined by a general formula of M 1-x Al 12 O 19 :Mn x (where “M” denotes one of Ca, Sr, Eu and Zn) with a relation of 0.01≦x≦0.06, and one of phosphor materials defined by general formulae of (Y 1-a-y Gd a ) (Ga 1-x′ Al x′ ) 3 (BO 3 ) 4 :Tb y with a relation of 0.1≦x′≦1.0, 0.02≦Y≦0.4, 0≦a≦0.9), and (Y 1-a-y Gd a ) (Ga 1-x′ Al x′ ) 3 (BO 3 ) 4 :Ce y , Tb y with relation of 0.1≦x′≦1.0, 0.02≦Y≦0.4, 0≦a≦0.9).

2. A plasma display device provided with a plasma display panel comprising a plurality of columns of discharge cells having one of a single color and multiple colors, and a phosphor layer disposed in each of the discharge cells, the phosphor layer having a color corresponding to the each discharge cell for emitting light when excited by ultraviolet rays, wherein

the phosphor layer includes a green color phosphor comprising a mixture of a phosphor material defined by a general formula of M 1-x Al 12 O 19 :Mn x (where “M” denotes one of Ca, Sr, Eu and Zn) with a relation of 0.01≦x≦0.06, and another phosphor material defined by a general formula of (Y 1-a-y Gd a ) 3 (Ga 1-x′ Al x′ ) 5 O 12 :Tb y with a relation of 0.1≦x′≦1.0, 0.02≦Y≦0.4, 0≦a≦0.9).
