Abstract

A plasma display device having a panel main body in which a pair of transparent substrates is arranged in opposition so as to form a discharge space between the substrates on at least a front side, barrier ribs are arranged on at least one of the substrates to divide the discharge space into a plurality of spaces, a group of electrodes is arranged on the substrates so as to generate discharge in the discharge space divided with the barrier ribs, and phosphor layers that emit by discharge are provided, in which the phosphor layers are equipped with a green phosphor layer including at least a mixture of Zn 2 SiO 4 :Mn and (Y, Gd)BO 3 :Tb, the surface of the Zn 2 SiO 4 :Mn is coated with magnesium oxide, and the ratio of the Mg element to the Si element on the surface measured with an XPS apparatus is 0.7 to 6.0.

Claims (7)

1. A plasma display device comprising:

a pair of substrates confronting each other so as to form a discharge space between the substrates;

a barrier rib arranged on at least one of the substrates to divide the discharge space into a plurality of spaces;

a group of electrodes arranged on the substrates so as to generate discharge in the discharge space divided with the barrier rib; and

a phosphor layer, which emits light by discharge, on the substrate, wherein

the phosphor layer is equipped with a green phosphor layer including a mixture of Zn 2 SiO 4 :Mn and (Y, Gd)BO 3 :Tb, a surface of the Zn 2 SiO 4 :Mn is coated with magnesium oxide, and the ratio of an Mg element to a Si element on the surface measured with an XPS apparatus is not less than 0.7 nor more than 6.0.

2. The plasma display device according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the Mg element to the Si element is not less than 1.3 nor more than 2.0.
