Study on the generation process of the discharge for color plasma displaysbased on the observation by using an ultra-high-speed electronic camera

Instead of the direct observation of ultraviolet rays of 147 nm emitted fro m Xe, light emission of 828 nm was observed first by using ultra-high- spee d electronic camera system. The experimental results show that the ultravio let rags of 147 nm emit above both cathodes and anodes simultaneously, The striation phenomena observed on anodes were analyzed.
