Patent ID: 7268493

Claim:
A plasma display panel device, comprising: an array of a plurality of discharge cells, the plurality of discharge cells comprising a first group of discharge cells and a second group of discharge cells, wherein each of the first group of discharge cells comprises a ZnO based fluorescent material, and each of the second group of discharge cells is substantially free of the ZnO based fluorescent material, and wherein the discharge cells are partitioned by a plurality of barrier ribs comprising a first barrier rib extending in a first direction; a plurality of discharge electrodes formed over the array, wherein the plurality of discharge electrodes comprises a first discharge electrode extending generally in the first direction, the first discharge electrode comprising a first material; a plurality of bus electrodes formed over the array, wherein the plurality of bus electrodes comprises a first bus electrode extending generally in the first direction and substantially overlapping with the first barrier rib, the first bus electrode comprising a second material different from the first material; wherein the first discharge electrode is electrically connected with the first bus electrode via at least one connector formed over the array; and wherein each connector does not overlap with discharge cells of the first group or barrier ribs abutting discharge cells of the first group.
