The DuPont™ Fodel® photoimageable thick-film paste is an advanced fully-lead-free material which also enables fine-line resolution, thin prints for low paste usage, wide processing margins, and high quality. The innovative black paste system utilizes DuPont patented lead-free ruthenium pyrochlore material and patented lead-free glasses, giving industry-leading properties including the critical balance between blackness and resistivity that is essential to high image quality from plasma TVs.
Used by most PDP manufacturers today, Fodel® technology is a simple, high-yield and highly-scalable process for fine-line patterning of conductor lines on both patterning of front (bus electrode) and back (address electrode) plasma glass panels.
The electrode bus system of the PDP front-side glass is composed of silver electrode paste and black paste cofired together in a two-layer structure that has become the industry standard.
