Test panel for three-dimensional observation in ac plasma display panel (PDP) has been fabricated and the spatiotemporal behavior of infrared and visible emissions has been experimentally investigated in sustain discharges. Considering the infrared and visible emissions from the cathode, the cathode fall region in ac PDP could be within 70 {mu}m in thicknesses. We measured the propagation speed of the sheath plasma to be 1.8 mm/{mu}s. In addition, the experimental result showed that an increasing sustain frequency from 100 to 250 kHz improved the plasma efficiency.
