Abstract:
A method of fabricating a substrate to an AC type plasma display panel having a discharge space and wherein the substrate has a major surface on which electrically conductive display electrodes are formed, the method comprising:forming a layer, of a first glass material containing ZnO and substantially no lead, on the major surface of the substrate so as to cover the display electrodes and firing the first glass material layer to form a first dielectric layer;defining a first portion of the first dielectric layer covering first portions of the display electrodes corresponding to the discharge space and a second portion of the first dielectric layer covering second portions of the display electrodes, the second portions of the display electrodes being integral with and comprising terminal portions of respective first portions of the display electrode; andremoving the second portion of the first dielectric layer to expose the second portions of the display electrodes.
