Abstract: A formula is derived for calculating mean electron energy in gas-discharge that occurs in color alternating current plasma display panel(AC-PDP),according to the local-field approximation.The calculations show that as the ratio(xXe)of xenon gas partial pressure to total pressure or gas pressure-pincreases,the meanelectron energy and its variation with the electric field strength reduces.Based on these results,the effects ofxXe andpon the photoelectric characteristics of color AC-PDP are analyzed theoretically.The analyses indicate that the firing voltage,memory margin,brightness and luminous effciency increase withxXe;the memory margin,brightness and luminouse ffciency increase monotonously withp;while the firing voltage has a minimumvalue. These conclusions are consistent with the experimental measurements.
