The present invention relates to a
plasma display device and to a method of producing a
phosphor to be used for the device, that prevents the
phosphor layer from deteriorating, and improves the luminance, life, and reliability, of a
plasma display panel (PDP). The
plasma display device is equipped with a
plasma display panel in which a plurality of
discharge cells are arranged,
phosphor layers (110R, 110G, 110B) in color corresponding to each
discharge cell are disposed, and phosphor
layers (110R, 110G, 110B) are excited by
ultraviolet light to emit light. Green phosphor layer (110G) has a green phosphor including Zn2SiO4:Mn, the element ratio of
zinc (Zn) to
silicon (Si) at the proximity of its surface is 2 / 1, which is the stoichiometric ratio, and the layer is positively charged or zero-charged.
