The phosphors of red (Y,Gd)BO/sub 3/:Eu/sup 3+/, green Zn/sub 2/SiO/sub 4/:Mn/sup 2+/, and blue BaMgAl/sub 10/O/sub 17/:Eu/sup 2+/ (BAM) are widely being used in plasma display panels (PDPs). However, BAM deteriorates seriously during the panel processing and operation, resulting in a loss of efficiency and color purity. Three aspects of the phosphors related to PDP applications are reviewed in this paper: degradation mechanisms of the blue phosphor under thermal treatment and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation, the improvements for the currently-used phosphors, and the research of new phosphors.
