Abstract

The discharge characteristics of an open dielectric structure were investigated, especially such as a firing voltage and related wall voltage, compared with conventional panel structure based on the Vt close curve measurement in AC plasma display panel. While the front panel of the conventional structure in AC plasma display panel was composed of the glass, electrodes, and dielectric, the open dielectric structure could easily produce the discharge between the scan and the sustain electrodes by erasing the dielectric layer between two electrodes. As the open dielectric structure differ from the conventional structure, various problems were produced when driving with the conventional driving waveform. Especially, due to the changes in the discharge firing characteristics of the open dielectric structure between the scan and the sustain electrodes on the front panel, the conventional reset waveform including the address waveform needed to be modified. In this study, the Vt close curves were measured to compare the discharge firing voltages on three electrodes in the conventional and open dielectric structure and based on the Vt close curve analysis, the modified driving waveform suitable for the open dielectric structure was proposed.

교류형 플라즈마 디스플레이에서의 Vt 폐곡선 측정에 기초하여 개방형 유전체 구조에서 방전 전압과 내부 벽전압 등의 방전 특성이 종래의 구조와 비교되어 조사되었다. 일반적인 교류형 플라즈마 디스플레이의 구조에서 상판은 유리, 전극, 유전체 등으로 이루어져 있는데, 개방형 유전체 구조는 상판 전극사이에 있는 유전체를 제거하여 상판에 있는 유지 전극간의 방전이 더욱 쉽게 발생하도록 하는 구조이다. 개방형 유전체 구조는 종래의 구조와 다르기 때문에 종래의 구동파형으로 구동시에 여러 가지 문제가 발생한다. 특히 상판의 두 전극인 주사와 유지전극 간 방전 개시전압이 달라지기 때문에 종래의 기입 파형을 포함한 초기화 파형도 수정되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 종래와 개방형 유전체 구조에서 3 전극의 방전개시전압을 비교하기 위하여 Vt 폐곡선을 측정하였고 분석에 기초하여 개방형 유전체 구조에 적합하도록 구동파형이 수정되었다.
