Abstract

A plasma display panel having excellent electron emission properties and a method of making the same. A plasma display panel is provided with a protective layer having a dense growth of columnar crystals formed on a dielectric layer. A middle layer can be provided for improving orientation of the columnar crystals. A heating step creates seed crystals to increase the width and growth of columnar crystals with a selective orientation and greater diameter. The area of any exposed surfaces on the protective layer becomes smaller and absorption of impurities decreases. A layer of grain crystals or an amorphic crystal layer is initially deposited on the dielectric layer to establish wider area seed crystals of a desired orientation. A vacuum evaporated complimentary protective layer can then be grown with the improved configuration.
