Method of forming cavities in a plasma display panel
Abstract
Abstract A METHOD OF FORMING CAVITIES IN A PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL HAVING FRONT AND REAR SUBSTRATES WITH THE CAVITIES FORMED THEREBETWEEN. IN ONE EMBODIMENT, LAYERS OF GLASS ARE SILKSCREENED ONTO ONE OF THE SUBSTRATES, OMITTING GLASS FROM THOSE AREAS WHERE CAVITIES ARE TO BE FORMED. THE NUMBER OF LAYERS OF GLASS TO BE SILK-SCREENED DEPENDES UPON THE DEPTH OF THE CAVITIES DESIRED. IN ANOTHER EMBODIMENT, THE DESIRED CAVITIES ARE CUT OUT OF A GLASS TRANSFER TAPE AND SECURED TO ONE OF THE SUBSTRATES. SIMILAR TAPES HAVING THE CUT-OUT PORTIONS IN REGISTRATION WITH ONE ANOTHER ARE SECURED TO ONE ANOTHER TO OBTAIN THE DESIRED CAVITY DEPTH. AFTER THE DESIRED CAVITY DEPTH IS OBTAINED, THE SUBSTRATE WITH THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF LAYERS OF GLASS THEREON IS FIRED IN AN OVEN.
