Electric fields and the wall voltages in a surface-type AC PDP cell were measured using a Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy. For the condition of He 100Torr, 200V sustain voltage and 50kHz sustain frequency, the wall voltage dropped from about 50V to about -75V within $1{\mu}sec$ after the main discharge. And the wall voltage decreased with the rate of $10.8V/{\mu}sec$ due to the accumulation of the space charges after $1{\mu}sec$. But when the operating pressure was 40Torr, it increased with the rate of $4.5V/{\mu}sec$ because the diffusion effect of the wall charge on MgO surface was more dominant than the accumulation effect of the space charges. During the pulse-off period, the wall voltage decreased slightly due to the diffusion of the wall charge. When the sustain voltage was 250V, the self-erasing discharge occurred, and the absolute value of the wall voltage decreased rapidly just after the pulses were off, which was caused by the accumulation of the charges generated by the self-erasing discharge.

The $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$/AC composite was prepared by sol-gel process with ultrasonication. The prepared composite was characterized by SEM, XRD and TG analysis, and their electrochemical behaviors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and charge-discharge test in 1M $LiBF_4$/PC electrolyte. From the results, the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ particles coated on AC surface had an average particle size of 100 nm and showed spinel-framework structure. When the potential range of the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$/AC composite was extended from 0.1 to 2.5 V, redox peaks and electric double layer property were revealed. The initial discharge capacity of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$/AC composite was 218 mAh $g^{-1}$ at 1 C. The enhancement of discharge capacity was attributed to electric double layer of added activated carbon.

AC PDP(P1asma Display Pane1)s use the mixture of inert gases to generate a discharge inside the display pixels. Impurities such as CO, $CO_2$ and OH inside discharge region may deteriorate the characteristics of PDP operation during long life time of PDP. Electro-negative gas such as CO can cause the sustain pulse amplitude to rise by attaching electrons which will play an important role in the earlier stage of the discharge. MgO film is used to protect the dielectric layer in AC PDP, and is in contact with the free space of display pixel where it is filled with the inert gas mixture. So, MgO film can be a main source of impurities. In this experiment, we observed the change of impurity generation of various MgO films which were deposited by different methods, by using QMS. (quadropole mass spectrometer) The main impurites were $H_2$, CO and $CO_2$. And with the comparison of the TPD (temperature programmed desorption) result, it can be understood that impurity gases are generated by sputtering of MgO surface not by outgassing. Deposition method had effects on the characteristics of the impurity generation. The MgO film manufactured by e-beam evaporation generated more amount of impurity gases than the MgO films manufactured by sputtering or ion-plating. And also heat treatment of MgO film after deposition decreased the magnitude of impurity gas generation.

Electrical properties such as surface flashover discharge and discharge degradations of insulating materials for superconducting cable have been investigated. It is found that the surface voltage is proportional to /$\^$0.7/(/: discharge length) in LHe(Liquid Helium). V-t characteristic LHe were a n=5.5 that was less than liquid N$_2$. After applied AC voltage, the surface condition of polymer films were observed non-eroded area and eroded area. The eroded area is depending on the applied voltage. In case of LHe, the crack was observed.

Single-sustainer driving is an AC PDP driving scheme to reduce the circuitry by maintaining the sustain electrode at ground level. To date, however, the research on the discharge characteristics in such driving scheme is insufficient. In this study, the panel performance and discharge characteristics of the single-sustainer driving scheme were observed while varying the address electrode condition. In single-sustainer driving, the address electrode is strongly involved in the sustain discharge when the former is maintained at ground level, and the dependence of the luminous efficacy on the sustain voltage is different from that in the conventional driving scheme. The dependence of the luminous efficacy on the sustain voltage appeared similar, however, to that in the conventional driving scheme when the address electrode was floated in single-sustainer driving. In the investigation of the temporal evolution of the sustain discharge using an IICCD camera, it was found that the sustain discharge in single-sustainer driving with a floating address electrode is similar to that in the conventional driving scheme, and the strong plasma formation region was located in the vicinity of the MgO surface, which seems to be related to the lifetime of a PDP with single-sustainer driving. In the investigation of the operation characteristics, the PDP that was operated with a floated address electrode showed a narrower dynamic operation margin, but a longer lifetime was expected.

The panels were fabricated to characterize the contamination of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) thin films by phosphors and ion bombardments in AC-PDPs. Forty-six inch WVGA panels of the surface and vertical discharge type were manufactured. The experiment was designed to investigate the relationship between the MgO thin films and phosphor contamination caused by ion bombardments in a plasma environment to produce a life time test. The contamination of MgO thin films by phosphors was investigated by way of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

The plasma display panel with the electrode structure of new discharge AND gate and its driving scheme were proposed and the driving system for experiment was developed. And operation of these discharge AND gate was verified by the experiment of PDP addressing with floating electrode. This discharge AND gate operated by the operation speed of 8$mutextrm{s}$ and the operation margin of 100V. The address operation margin of 10V also obtained. It was known to be able to control the discharge of the adjoining scan electrode accurately. Because proposed method uses the DC discharge the control of the discharge can be facilitated compared with conventional discharge AND gate. Moreover, because the input discharge and the output discharge of discharge gate are separate, the display discharge can be prevented from passing discharge gates. Therefore, it is possible to apply to the large screen plasma display panel. And the decrease of contrast ratio does not occur because the scanning discharge does not influence the picture quality.

In this work, the discharge characteristics and temporal distribution of surface charges on the Sidoped MgO have been investigated and elucidated with the results of photon-induced surface current. Even though the Si doped MgO shows lower static voltage margin, higher luminous efficacy, and shorter statistical delay time, its discharge characteristics become deteriorated as the timing of scanning is delayed from the ramp type reset pulse down. Overall features of Si-doped MgO in discharge characteristics are well correlated with surface current characteristics.

To investigate the discharge dynamics of alternating current plasma display panel (ACPDP), we measured the spatio-temporally resolved VUV and IR emission by an intensified charge coupled device (CCD). The breakdown beings around the anode inner edge and moves towards the cathode surface. As the ionization intensifies in front of the cathode surface, another emission region appears on the anode surface. While the anode side emission does not move but grows, the cathode side emission moves out and spreads over the entire cathode surface. The discharge dynamics emission by a 2 dimensional numerical simulation suggests that a cathode-directed streamer formation play an important role.
