The improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency is the one of the most important parts in AC-PDPs. To achieve high luminance and luminous efficiency, high VUV emission efficiency is needed. We measured the emission spectra of the vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) rays in surface discharge AC-PDP with ternary gas mixture of He-Ne-Xe. The influence of He-Ne-Xe gas-mixture ratio on excited $Xe^{\ast}$ resonant atoms and $Xe_2\;^{\ast}$ dimers has been investigated. It is found that luminous efficiency of ternary gas mixture, He-Ne-Xe, is shown to be much higher than that of binary gas mixture of Ne-Xe. For improving discharge luminous efficiency, we have studied VUV emission characteristics of ternary gas mixture, He(50%)-Ne-Xe and He(70%)-Ne-Xe with Xe concentration and filling gas pressure.

본 논문에서는 세폭소거 방식에 관한 연구를 하였으며, 종래에는 세폭소거 이후 전극에 벽전하가 쌓이지 않게 하기 위해 X전극과 Y전극의 전압 레벨을 같게 하여 벽전하를 소거한 반면, 본 논문에서는 세폭소거 이후 X전극과 Y전극의 전압 레벨을 다르게 하고 유지구간에서 스위치의 펄스 타이밍을 조절하여 약한 방전을 일으키게 한 뒤 벽전하를 소거하였다. 실험결과 종래의 방식은 Y_Reset 전압이 150V, 서스테인 전압이 180V일 때 어드레스 전압 마진이 31.3V로 가장 크게 나타났다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식은 Y_Reset 전압이 100V, 서스테인 전압이 180V, 185V일 때, 어드레스 전압 마진이 38.3Y로 가장 크게 나타났다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식으로 인하여 종래의 방식 보다 약 7V(22%)정도의 전압마진을 더 확보할 수가 있었다.

Activated carbon (AC) with very large surface area has high capacitance per weight. However, such activation methods tend to suffer from low yields, below 50%, and are low in electrode density and capacitance per volume. Carbon NanoFibers (CNFs) had high surface area polarizability, high electrical conductivity and chemical stability, as well as extremely high mechanical strength and modulus, which make them an important material for electrochemical capacitors. The electrochemical properties of immobilized CNF electrodes were studied for use as in electrical double layer capacitor (EDLC) applications. Immobilized CNFs on Ni foam grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were successfully fabricated. CNFs had a uniform diameter range from 50 to 60 nm. Surface area was 56 m$^2$/g. CNF electrodes were compared with AC and multi wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) electrodes. The electrochemical performance of the various electrodes was examined with aqueous electrolyte of 2M KOH. Equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the CNF electrodes was lower than that of AC and MWNT electrodes. The specific capacitance of 47.5 F/g of the CNF electrodes was achieved with discharge current density of 1 mA/cm$^2$.

AC-plasma display panels were examined before and after the aging process to analyze the effect of the aging process. The gas analysis was done to detect the impurity gases out of the MgO film and phosphor by a residual gas analyzer. There were no differences found in the components. The MgO film was analyzed to find out the effect of an ion bombardment due to discharge. The surface roughness of the MgO film was different from regional groups due to the different degree of ion bombardments. XPS analysis showed that the 8 hour aging process was not sufficient to remove $Mg(OH)_2$ and $MgCO_3$ existed on the MgO surface. Photoluminescence measurement showed the small deterioration of blue and green phosphor.

One of the most important problems in the development of AC PDP is to make long life and more stable panels. It is well known that the life time of a panel strongly depends on the sputtering-resistant property of the protecting layer such as MgO. However, the sputtering rate is so low that it is very difficult to measure the sputtering-resistant property of MgO. This paper describes a high speed measurement technique to test the sputtering-resistant property of MgO thin film by the R.F. magnetron sputtering. In this case the MgO sample has been used as a target of sputtering process. Moreover, the MgO surface changed by ion-bombarding sputtering are also discussed with SEM photoes.

MgO는 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널 (Plasma Display Panel, PDP)의 보호막으로 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 실험에서는 산소 이온 빔을 이용하여 증착된 MgO 보호막의 특성을 조사하였다. MgO 증착 시 보조 산소 이온 빔의 에너지를 변화시킴에 따라 MgO 보호막의 특성과 PDP 패널 발광특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 산소 이온 에너지가 300 eV 일 때 소자의 방전개시전압이 가장 낮게 나타났고, 발광 휘도 및 발광 효율은 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 산소 이온 빔의 조사에너지에 따라 MgO 박막의 결정성 및 표면조도가 크게 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 산소 이온 빔 보조 증착 방법을 이용하여 패널의 발광 휘도와 발광 효율 등 발광특성을 개선하였다.

The improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency is the one of the most important part in AC-PDPs. To achieve high luminance and luminous efficiency, high VUV emission efficiency is needed. We measured the emission spectra of vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) rays in surface discharge AC-PDP with binary and ternary gas mixtures of Ne-Xe and He-Ne-Xe. The influence of He-Ne-Xe gas-mixture ratio on excited $Xe^{\ast}$ resonant atoms and $Xe_2$$^{\ast}$ dimers has been investigated. It is found that luminous efficiency of ternary gas mixture, He-Ne-Xe, is shown to be much higher than that of binary gas mixture of Ne-Xe.

This paper proposes a method to drive an AC plasma display panel(PDP) with a significantly improved contrast ratio. In the proposed method, during the first sub-field of one frame, all PDP cells are reset by the ramp waveform, and during the other sub-field, only the cells turned on in the previous sub-field are reset. No light is emitted during the reset period of every sub-field except the first sub-field. For a 10-bit picture, the luminance of the dark level for the proposed method is 10 times lower than that for the conventional method, in which the ramp waveform for the reset is used in every sub-field. Accordingly, the contrast ratio for the proposed method is 10 times higher than that for the conventional method. For the 10-bit picture, the measured contrast ratio was about 3080:1 for the proposed method and about 285:1 with the conventional method, a result the contrast ratio has been increased in 10.8 times. This result shows that the proposed method can realize an image with high contrast ratio.

Metal electrode materials for plasma display panel should have low electrical resistivity in order to maintain stable gas discharge and have fast response time. They should also hae good film uniformity adhesion and thermal stability. In this study Cr/Cu/Cr metal electrode structure is formed by DC magnetron sputtering. Cr and Cu films were deposited on ITO coated glasses with various DC power density and main pressures as the major parameters. After metal electrodes were formed a heat treatment was followed at 55$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 min in a vacuum furnace. The intrinsic stress of the sputtered Cr film passed a tensile stress maximum decreased and then became compressive with further increasing DC power density. Also with increasing the main pressure stress turned from compression to tension. After heat the treatment the electrical resistivity of the sputtered Cu film of 2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in thickness prepared at 1 motor with the applied power density of 3.70 W/cm$^2$was 2.68 $\mu$$\Omega$.cm With increasing the main pressure the DC magnetron sputtered Cu film became more open structure. The heat treatment decreased the surface roughness of the sputtered Cr/Cu/Cr metal electrodes.

The effects of $Fe_2O_3$ addition on optical and electrical properties of MgO films as a protective layer for AC plasma display panels were investigated. Doped MgO films prepared by the e-beam evaporation have a higher ${\gamma}$ (secondary electron emission coefficient) than pure MgO protective layer. Roughness increased with amount of $Fe_2O_3$ up to 100 ppm and then decreased further addition. These results showed that discharge properties and optical properties of MgO protective layers seemed to be closely related with microstructure factors such as roughness. Good optical and electrical properties of ${\gamma}$ of 0.120, surface roughness of 14.1 nm and optical transmittance of 94.55% were obtained for the MgO + 100 ppm $Fe_2O_3$ protective layer sintered at $1700^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs.
