Recently, an AC Plasma Display Panels(PDP) with the metal sustain electrodes have been reported in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the AC PDP. However, the luminance and efficacy of the AC PDP with metal electrodes are worse than those of the AC PDP with ITO electrodes. In this paper, various ${\prod}$type metal electrodes are suggested, in order to improve the electro-optical characteristics of the AC PDP with metal electrodes. Among the suggested electrode types, luminance of Hump electrode structure is higher by $40\;cd/m^2$ and discharge current of Asymmetry electrode structure is lower by 5% than those of Pi electrode structure, respectively. Moreover, $T_1$ of Hump electrode structure is reduced to 10% as compared with Pi electrode structure in address period for ADS driving scheme. In all aspects, the characteristics of Hump and Asymmetry electrode structure show best performance.

본 논문에서는 전원회로의 박형화에 장애가 되는 자기소자(인덕터/변압기)를 박형의 자기코어와 PCB 권선을 이용하여 박형으로 설계/제작하고 이를 역률보상회로와 서스테인 전원회로로 구성된 AC-PDP 전원회로에 적용한다. 이러한 역률보상회로와 서스테인 전원회로로 구성된 AC-PDP 전원회로를 박형자기소자, 박형커패시터 SMD소자를 이용하여 두께 30mm이하로 설계/제작하여 AC-PDP TV 시스템의 박형화 가능성을 제시한다. 또한 입력전압 90-260$V_{rms}$의 범위에서 역률개선 여부를 검증하고, 서스테인 전원회로의 부하변동에 따른 전체 AC-PDP 전원회로의 효율을 측정, 검증한다. 전원회로 각각의 구성요소에서 발생하는 전력손실을 분석하여 안정적인 AC-PDP 전원회로의 설계 가능성을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 AC PDP의 유지방전구간에서의 인가전압에 따른 방전전류, 공간전압, 벽전하 등의 변화를 새로운 AC PDP를 위한 등가회로모델을 사용하여 효율적이고 간편하게 시뮬레이션 한 결과를 소개한다. 벽전하의 정확한 분석은 안정적이고 효율적인 AC PDP의 구동 방법을 개발하기 위해 계속 연구, 보고 되어 왔지만, 인가되는 전압의 변화에 따른 시간적인 셀 내부의 변화를 빠르고 편리하게 분석하고 이해하는데 효과적인 방법은 제시되지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 AC PDP의 전극간 물리적인 특성을 고려하여 3개의 직렬 커패시터와 1개의 병렬 커패시터, 2개의 싸이리스터를 사용하여 AC PDP를 위한 등가회로모델을 구성하여 제시하였다. 제안된 등가회로모델은 SPICE와 같은 표준 회로시뮬레이션 툴에 손쉽게 적용가능하며, 이러한 방법으로 분석된 패널내의 전류, 공간전압, 벽전하의 동특성을 소개하였다. 등가회로모델을 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과는 실험을 통한 측정 결과와 비교하여 그 정확성을 검증하였다. 인가전압의 시간적 변화의 따른 유입전류 및 셀 내의 전압 및 전하의 분포를 손쉽고 정확하게 시뮬레이션 할 수 있는 본 AC PDP의 등가회로모델은 AC PDP의 특성을 이해하는 데에 중요한 도구가 될 것이며 효율적인 구동 방식의 개발 및 분석 등에 널리 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

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. EMIs of the PDP system are quantitatively determined by combining circuit model and 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.

The discharge electrodes in ac PDP are coated with dielectric layer, and transparent MgO thin films are deposited on the dielectric layer. The main role of the MgO thin films in ac PDP is to protect the dielectric layer from sputtering by ion bombardment in the glow-discharge plasma. An additional important role of the MgO thin film is the high secondary electron emission coefficient which leads the low firing voltage and low cost of the PDP. In this paper, we investigated the relations of the crystal orientation about deposition thickness, deposition rate, temperature of substrate, and distance between the MgO tablet and the substrate. Additionally, we investigated the discharge characteristics of the AC PDP using nano-powder MgO tablet

A three-level sustain circuit with six-switches for an ac plasma display panel (AC-PDP) drive is proposed. The proposed circuit features half the voltage stresses of sustain switches and clamp diodes and significantly reduced power losses compared with those of the conventional ones. This circuit, realizable with reduced cost of the semiconductor devices, gives a significant improvement in the power efficiency, essential for the design of a drive circuit for the AC-PDP. A comparative analysis and experimental results we presented to show the validity of the proposed sustainer circuit.

AC-PDP는 구조적으로 2장의 유리, 유전체, 전극으로 구성된다. AC-PDP의 전기적특성은 유전체의 물성에 크게 좌우된다. AC-PDP의 유전체는 주변 온도와 주파수에 따라 유전율 및 유전손실 특성이 달라지므로 온도와 주파수에 따른 유전물질의 물성변화와 panel의 전기적특성에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 온도와 주파수에 따른 AC-PDP내 유전체의 유전율 및 유전손실에 대한 특성에 대해 알아보고 4인치 test 패널을 제작하여 온도와 주파수에 따른 panel의 전기적특성 관계를 살펴보았다.

The improvement of efficiency is the one of the most important part in AC PDPs . To achieve high efficiency, high VUV emission efficiency and High ion induces secondary electron emission coefficient are needed. We have measured the emission spectra of vacuum ultraviolet rays and ion induced secondary electron emission coefficient of MgO protective layer in surface discharge AC-PDP with binary and ternary gas mixtures. We have investigated electro-optical characteristics of AC-PDPs to optimum gas mixture for high efficient.

Difference in the structure of AC PDP cells makes the cells have various discharge characteristics. Therefore, a ramp-reset must be adjusted for the stable driving of AC PDP. If any ramp-reset can reduce the difference in discharge characteristics between cells, the conditions of the address discharge could become almost the same. It is very important to understand these to design a good driving waveform. In this paper, we proved the mentioned facts with the change of barrier rib heights.

For ac PDP, the lifetime should be guaranted over, 30000 hours. The lifetime is correlated with the deterioration characteristics for the weakest element in ac PDP. However, the short-term deterioration test method of the at PDP has not well developed. In this paper, a short term deterioration test method of a given element in the ac PDP is proposed. By this method, MgO deterioration characteristics are investigated. The deterioration rate is decreased with MgO thickness but it was almost saturated over 5000$\AA$.
