Abstract
Boundary image sticking can be inherently prevented in an ac plasma display panel fabricated using a vacuum sealing process. The results indicate that residual impurities, such as nitrogen or oxygen, are essentially related to the production of boundary image sticking. When checking the production of boundary image sticking in a test panel fabricated using a N2 or an O2 flow during the vacuum sealing process, no boundary image sticking appeared in the case of a N2 flow, whereas boundary image sticking was produced with an O2 flow, although the test panel was fabricated using a vacuum sealing process. Consequently, reducing the residual impurity, particularly oxygen, based on a vacuum sealing process can inherently prevent boundary image sticking.
