Using ray-optics code incorporated with three-dimensional PDP cell simulation, we have analysed the energy flow in the PDP cell from the electric power input to the visible light output. Also, the visible light output profile and viewing angle distribution were obtained. We applied our code to the analysis of the barrier rib height effect on the visible light luminance and efficiency of the sustaining discharge. Although cells with higher barrier rib generate more VUV photons, less ratio of visible photons are emitted toward front panel due to the shadow effect. Thus, there exists optimal barrier rib height giving the highest visible luminance and efficiency. This kind of code can be a powerful tool in designing cell geometry.

The paste on the glass or fabrication of the PDP(Plasma Display Panel) barrier rib was selectively etched using focused A $r_{+}$ laser(λ=514 nm) and Nd:YAG(λ=532, 266 nm) laser irradiation. The depth of the etched grooves increase with increasing a laser fluence and decreasing a laser beam scan speed. Using second harmonic of Nd:YAG laser(532 nm) the etching threshold laser fluence was 6.5 mJ/c $m^2$ for the sample of PDP barrier rib. The thickness of 180 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of the sample on the glass was clearly removed without any damage on the glass substrate by fluence of 19.5J/c $m^2$beam scan speed of 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ /s. In order to increase the etch rate of the barrier rib material barrier rib samples heated by a resistive heater during laser irradiation. The heated sample has many defects and becomes to be fragile. This imperfection of the structure compared to the sample without heat treatment allows the effective etching by the focused laser beam. The etch rates were 65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s and 270 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s at room temperature and 20$0^{\circ}C$, respectively.y.

Ultraprecision machining process and MEMS technology have been taken more and more important position in machining of micro parts such as PDP and IT components, as the application field of micro parts increases. A micro machining center is very effective equipment for the fabrication of micro parts, because of its benefits such as lower power consumption, high precision and lower machining cost. Therefore, we study the possibility of application to the micro machining of barrier ribs used in PDP and also analyse the machining characteristics. The fabricated barrier rib has 30~$200\mu\textrm{m}$ pitch and was made by the flat endmill with the diameter of 0.2mm, 40, 000rpm condition.

The PDP(Plasma Display Panel) barrier rib was fabricated by focused $Ar^+$ laser ($\lambda$=514nm) and Nd:YAG($\lambda$=532, 266 nm) laser irradiation. The depth of the etched groove increases with increasing a laser fluence. and decreasing a scan speed. Using the second harmonic of the Nd:YAG laser, the threshold laser fluence was $6.5mJ/cm^2$ for the sample of PDP barrier rib dried at $120^{\circ}C$. The thickness of $150{\mu}m$ of the sample on the glass was etched without any damage on the glass substrate by fluence of $19.5J/cm^2$. The barrier rib sample on hot plate was etched by Nd:YAG laser(532 nm) as increasing a temperature of the sample. In this case, the etch rate was $95{\mu}m/s$, $190{\mu}m/s$ at room temperature, $175^{\circ}C$ respectively.

A reliable tensile test technique for PDP's barrier rib materials was introduced. A tensile specimen was prepared by punching out of green sheet, curing the specimen in a high temperature furnace, attaching sand paper tabs on each grip ends, and then attaching two strain gages for the strain monitoring and specimen alignment. Preliminary tensile tests were successfully done with the specimens made from ZnO-based lead-free green sheet. The specimens cured at 3 different maximum curing temperatures were tested to demonstrate the applicability of the test method. The Young's modulus was 88 ${\pm}$ 4 GPa regardless of the maximum curing temperature. The ultimate tensile strength was decreased with increasing the temperature. The tensile test method proposed in this study was proven to be reliable, useful and easy to estimate the bulk mechanical properties of barrier rib materials.

We reported two new techniques of barrier rib formation that are applicable to a variety of structures for high-efficiency PDPs suitable for mass-production [1]. These two methods are mold replication and direct glass sculpting. Especial progress has since been made in improving these methods to be more suitable for high-efficiency PDPs with the DelTA cell structure. This paper reports photolithographic fabrication methods for the masters used in mold replication. The masters for more complex barrier rib forms are easier to make with these methods. The paper also reports a process that combines the direct glass sculpting method with an ink-jet printing method of electrode formation.

For the rib materials in PDP(plasma display panel), an effective method to improve the mechanical properties is to form a composite material by reinforcing a glass matrix with rigid fillers, such as alumina and titania powders. In this study, two types of ribs with different volume percent of fillers and with different glass matrix were tested for hardness, Young's modulus with the Berkovich indentation. As a result, cracks appeared around at the load of 1345 mN for the dense type of rib, while porous one endured until 2427 mN without any crack formation. Young's modulus and hardness decreased at the range: 90∼65 GPa, 9∼4 GPa, respectively as a function of indent load. Thus, a new method with nanoindenter represents a possible evaluation method for mechanical properties of barrier ribs.

The addressing time should be reduced by modifying cell structure and/or driving method in order to replace the dual scan system by single scan and increase the luminance in large ac plasma display panel(PDP). In this paper, the effects of the addressing time was decreased with decreasing thickness of dielectric layer on the front glass and thickness of white dielectric layer on the rear glass. the decreasing rate were 160ns/10$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 270ns/10$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively Also in case of decreasing the height of barrier rib, addressing time was decreased at the rate of Sons/10$\mu\textrm{m}$.
