MgO layer :
In bombardment of electrons and ions. MgO
’
s high electron release rate, like cathod application, makes it easier to
release electrons.
MgO protecting layer (Refer MgO layer)
MgO layer on fluorescent material has secondary benefit that prevents fluorescent degradation by ion
bombardment.
Minimum firing voltage :
Minimum voltage that can turn on any cells. [symbol : V1]
Minimum sustain voltage :
Minimum sustain voltage that keeps turned on cell on.[symbol : Vsm1]
Monochrome display Minimum sustain voltage :
Display that only express a limited color such as white, green and amber.
Multi-color display :
Display that can express multiple colors if not all colors.
Non-discharge slit :
(Refer to inter electrode gap)
Operating margin :
AC PDP voltage range that keeps cells turned on or off. Generally, its value gets less than memory margin
because of additional factors such as temperature effect, gloss ionization effect and waveform change.
Operating window :
Actual voltage range that keeps cells turned on or off in any drive levels and surrounding environment.
Operating window degradation :
Gradual decline in operating window, according to operating time.
Opposed discharge :
Traditional two-electrode plasma panel structure where discharge occurs between the two sustained electrodes
across from each other.
Opposed discharge PDP :
(Refer to opposed discharge)
Peak luminance :
Maximum luminance generated in one pixel in panel.
Peak luminance enhancement :
Circuit and drive technology that accommodates increasing peak luminance.
Phosphor degradation :
Gradual decline in fluorescence efficiency according to operating expectancy.
Phosphor layer :
Thin layer made up of phosphor. FluorescencPle substance must be thick enough to optimize transferring the
ultraviolet rays from plasma discharge to visible light
Pixel, picture element :
The smallest unit that can display the entire range of luminance and chromaticity, generally, pixel consists of sub
pixels (or dots).
Pixel arrangement :
Expression of sub pixels within a pixel.
Pixel count :
The number of pixel that make up a display. It is described as the number of column pixels against the number of
row pixels.
