An ultra‐thin shadow mask plasma display panel is put forward to meet the market demands of a much thinner, lighter and flexible display. Thanks to the ultra‐thin 70μm thick glass, a special vacuum in‐line sealing technology could be used to fabricate the novel device without a pumping tube. The sealed panel is only 300μm thick. The sealing characteristics and the discharge characteristics are investigated. The experimental results indicate that a high ratio of Xe in the gas mixture can be used, thereby improving the performance of the ultra‐thin SMPDP. In future applications AF32 type of foil glass will be used with a dielectric constant of 5.1. In addition a sealing temperature of 600 °C or higher will enable to exploit the full benefits of MgCaO protective layer. The ultra‐thin panel is well suited both for a double‐sided display and for 3D‐display.
