Abstract

This paper presents the effects of the phosphor layer morphology related to the discharge volume on the discharge and radiation characteristics of the Red, Green, and Blue cells in an AC-PDP. As the thickness of the phosphor layer increases and the corresponding discharge volume in the cells decreases, the voltage margin decreases due to an increase in the sustain voltage. In contrast, the IR(Infrared) emission, discharge current, and luminance characteristics remain almost unchanged, regardless of any changes in the phosphor layer morphology.
