Modified pulse waveforms were applied to an AC plasma display panel with an auxiliary electrode in order to improve the operation voltage margin. Reciprocal sustain pulse waveforms and modified auxiliary pulse waveforms were applied to the sustain and auxiliary electrode, respectively. During the sustain period, the influence of the address electrode on the luminous efficacy of long-coplanar gap discharges was mitigated by application of reciprocal sustain pulse waveforms. Modified auxiliary pulse waveforms maintained the high efficacy obtained from the AC PDP with an auxiliary electrode. The proposed reciprocal sustain and modified auxiliary pulses waveforms can induce stable discharges in long-coplanar gap discharges and can control wall charges with a wider auxiliary pulse voltage margin, thereby enhancing the luminous efficacy of the AC PDP with an auxiliary electrode.

The laser absorption spectroscopy has been used for measuresurement of the xenon atoms in the resonant $1S_4$ and metastable $1S_5$ states in coplanar AC PDP. For the purpose of improving VUV luminous efficiency and optimization of PDP cells, it is important to study behavior of excited Xe atoms in a micro-discharge cell of a coplanar AC-PDP. We measured the xenon excited density of $1S_5$ and $1S_4$ state under mixture gas of Ne-Xe(10%) with gas pressure of 350 Torr and sustaining gap distance of 150 um.

다양한 정보와 동영상을 표시할 수 있는 멀티미디어 시대의 디스플레이 소자로서 Plasma Display Panel(PDP)은 특히 대형화면 분야에 유력한 표시장치로 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 대화면의 벽걸이형 표시장치인 PDP가 널리 보급되기 위해서는 몇 가지 해결되어야 할 문제점들이 있다. 높은 소비전력과 화질의 향상, 그리고 높은 생산 가격 등의 문제점 중에서도 PDP 의 소비 전력을 낮추어야 하는 문제는 PDP의 보급을 위하여 가장 중요한 문제로 지적되고 있다. 새로운 유지 방전 구동 방식인 전하 제어 구동 방식은 기존의 구동 회로에 비해서 낮은 외부 공급전압을 사용함으로 사용되는 소자의 저가격화가 가능하며, 방전 시 소비되는 방전전류를 감소 시켜 소비전력을 낮추며 결과적으로 소비전력 대비 발광효율을 증대시키는 새로운 고효율 AC PDP 구동 방식이다.

The vacuum sealing method is adopted to minimize the residual impurity gas by enhancing a base vacuum level, and the resultant changes in the reset, address, and sustain discharge characteristics, such as a firing voltage, IR emission, and ICCD image, were examined in comparison with the conventional sealing method in the 42-in. AC-PDP. In the PDP cells fabricated by the vacuum sealing method, the ICCD observation illustrates that the discharge is initiated and extinguished very fast and its IR emission intensity is high.

A new EMI estimation technique concerned with a PDP system is presented. A physical circuit model is developed which can fairly well describe the AC-PDP system. Then EMIs are determined by exploiting Hertzian dipole antenna model. The simulation results are experimentally verified with the test panel. The AC PDP system was measured in the frequency range of 30MHz ~ 300MHz in a semi-anechoic chamber, according to CISPR 13 code. Thereby, it is shown that the proposed technique can be usefully employed for EMI reduction.

Influence of sustain pulse-width on electro-luminous efficiency is experimentally investigated for surface discharge of AC-PDP. A square pulse with variable duty ratio and rising time of 300 ns has been used in the experiment. It is found that the firing voltage is decreased as the pulse-width is increased from 2 ${\mu}s$ to 8 ${\mu}s$ with sweeping frequency range of 10 kHz to 50 kHz. It has been found that the optimal sustain pulse-width is in the range of $3{\sim}4{\mu}s$ under driving frequency range of 30 kHz and 50 kHz, based on observation of memory coefficient, wall charge, and wall voltage as well as luminous efficiency.

In order to be good display, the ac PDP lifetime should be guaranteed over 30000 hours. Therefore, to satisfy these demands, it is need to find out main factors in ac PDP affecting the lifetime. In this paper, the characteristics of lifetime as a parameter of the MgO deposition rate conditions is investigated. MgO protective layers is fabricated by E-beam. Before measuring the lifetime we have carefully peformed high temperature evacuation and aging procedure, which is essential for providing the initial condition of our experiment. If MgO deposition rate increased, MgO film becomes dense and an adhesive power of MgO film gets better and because occurrence rate of the MgO cluster decreases, lifetime of MgO will be improved. As a result, ac PDP lifetime can be improved due to the improvement of MgO by MgO preparation conditions.

The ac plasma display panel(PDP) is a flat light-emitting gas discharge device. Discharge gases directly take effects to the discharge phenomena of ac PDP. Therefore it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the discharge gases. In this paper, we have studied the effects of discharge gases by voltage transfer curves which show the discharge characteristics of ac PDP and the change of the effective wall capacitance during a discharge which depends on lateral spreading of charge distribution and the strength of discharge. As gas pressure increases, memory margins increases. and the firing voltage of a mixed gas is lower than that of a single gas such as He gas. The minimum sustain voltage and the maximum sustain voltage or firing voltage increases with decrease in the frequency. The effective wall capacitance increases as the discharge strength that is, the gap voltage between discharge electrodes increases.

Plasma display Panels(PDPs) are one of the leading technologies currently under development for large-area high-brightness flat panel displays. However, the luminance and luminous efficiency of at PDPs should be improved. Especially, one of the main factors affecting on the luminance and luminous efficiency of ac PDP may be the phosphor thickness and size of discharge space. In this study, we examined into addressing time, electrical and optical properties as a parameter of the phosphor thickness and the size of discharge space during the display period of ac PDP. It is found out that the optimum phosphor thickness was $50{\mu}m$ and height of discharge space was about $100{\mu}m$.

The degradation characteristics of R, G, B phosphor layers in AC-PDP, which is due to the discharge of plasma, are still unknown. For the successful commercialization of AC-PDP, the degradation of phosphor layers, caused by the plasma discharge must be investigated and improved. In this paper, the degradation properties of phosphor layers in AC-$PDP_S$ are investigated. It takes long time to investigate the degradation in real condition, so that the device for accelerating the degradation is devised. To prove the performance of the device, the visible emission characteristics of phosphor layers and discharge with the environmental temperature are examined. As a result, it is shown that the phosphor layers are easily degraded when the discharge is sustained under high environmental temperature condition. After accelerating the degradation of blue Phosphor layer((Ba,Eu)Mg$AI_10$$O_17$) for 48 hours, its luminance decreases about 38 % and the corresponding color purity deteriorates severely.
