PDP는 우수한 화질과 단순한 패널구조의 장점을 가지고 있으며 50inch 이상 대화면 및 Full HD 구현에 대한 가격 경쟁력도 가지고 있어 다른 여타의 디스플레이 디바이스보다 발전가능성이 매우 크다. 그러나 Full HD를 지원하기 위해서는 방전 셀의 낮은 효율을 얼마나 극복할 수 있는지가 PDP 업계 최대의 문제로 지적되고 있고 현재 연구주제가 되고 있다.

The secondary electron emission coefficient (${\gamma}$) of the cathode is an important factor for improving the discharge characteristics of AC-PDP, because of its close relationship to discharge voltage. In this experiment, we have investigated the electronic structure of the energy band in the MgO layer responsible for the high ${\gamma}$. We used three kinds of MgO pellet that have another component, and each MgO layers have been deposited by electron beam evaporation method. The work-functions of MgO layer have been investigated from their ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficient (${\gamma}$), respectively, using various ions with different ionization energies in a ${\gamma}-FIB$ (Focused Ion Beam) system. We have compared work-function with ${\gamma}-FIB$ system current signal for measurement defect energy level in MgO layer. MgO-A in the three types has lowest work-function value (4.12eV) and there are two defect energy levels.

Recently color AC PDP(plasma display panel) technology is rapidly improved. However, the luminous efficiency improvement is a key issue for making plasma display into a large-area flat display. In this paper, we suggest a new concentration of Xe in He-Ne-Xe gas mixture in order to achieve a high luminous efficiency of color AC PDPs. We calculated the densities of 25 species as a function of the time zero dimensional simulation using CVODE solver and we compared the results of zero dimensional simulation with a measurement of photo wave brightness and luminous efficiency, in order to find the optimum mixing condition of He-Ne-Xe gas in color plasma display panel. We obtained a high discharge speed under Xe mixing ratio of 1% by simulation and confirmed that through measuring photo wave.

A Plasma Display Panel with Double Pulse Memory was fabricated and its luminance and luminous efficacy were investigated. Application of non-discharge pulses to an auxiliary anode increased luminance by 43% and luminous efficacy by 33%. Compared to PDP with PPM(Planar Pulse Memory) driving technique, PDP with DPM obtained higher luminous efficacy and consumed lower power with the same delay time.

The gas mixture ratio of PDP discharges plays a very important role in the discharge characteristics of a plasma display panel. The increase of Xe contents results in the increases of luminance and luminous efficiency while it also results in the increase of the breakdown voltage. The addition of He gas increases the brightness and the luminous efficiency. Especially, the luminance and the luminous efficiency have a maximum value when the partial pressure of He is about 10% of the total pressure for a standard plasma display panel with Xe fraction of $10\sim30%$.

The plasma display panel is an image expression display using gas discharge plasma. However, gas discharge characteristics vary with temperature as gas discharge is sensitive to temperature. The discharge time lag extends a lot in low temperature and it is known as the cause which hinders high speed addressing which is essential for the size enlargement of the panel. Accordingly this research aims at identifying the temperature-dependent discharge characteristic. The lower temperature becomes, the longer addressing discharge time lag becomes. Particularly the statistical time lag extends much in low temperature. The increasing of electric field shortens discharge time lag in low temperature. Also, when priming particles are sufficiently supplied, stable discharge can be performed regardless of the influence of temperature.

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) and infrared(IR) rays in surface discharge AC-PDP with Ne-Xe mixture gas. The influence of Ne-Xe gas-mixture ratio on resonance state $Xe^{\ast}(3P_{1})$ and exited state $Xe^{\ast}(3P_{2})$ has been investigated. It is found that the intensity of VUV 147nm emission is proportional to that of the IR 828 nm emission, and the VUV 173nm emission is roughly proportional to that of the IR 823nm emission. The electron temperature and plasma density have been experimentally measured from the center of sustaining electrode gap by a micro Langmuir probe in AC-PDPs. The plasma density from the center of sustaining electrode gap are shown to be maximum value of $9{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$, where the electron temperature is about 1.6 eV in this experiment

본 논문에서는 Display용 PDP(Plasma Display panel)를 디지털 X-ray Detector로 적용하기 위해 Panel 내 Xe gas와 Ne gas의 비율을 달리하며 X-ray에 대한 기본적인 전기적 반응 특성을 연구하였다. 연구에 사용된 panel 은 상용화된 Display용 PDP를 5inch의 크기로 소형화한 sample을 제작하여 사용하였다. 제작된 sample panel의 구조는 기본적으로 Display용 PDP의 구조와 일치한다. 제작된 Sample panel의 X-선 검출기로서의 전기적 특성을 조사하기 위해 기본적인 전기특성인 Dark current, X-ray sensitivity, 그리고 Linearity를 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 진단 범위에서 충분한 전기적 Sensitivity 보이며, 선형적 특성 또한 우수한 결과를 보이는 등 안정된 전기적 동작특성을 보였다. 이러한 결과로부터 기존에 사용되어오던 Display용 PDP에 새로운 X선 변환층을 추가하고, 효율을 더욱 높일 수 있는 구조 변경을 통하여 상용화된 PDP를 디지털 X-선 검출기로서의 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The formation degree of sustain (ITO pattern) determines the quality of a PDP (Plasma Display Panel). Thus, in the present study, we attempt to detect 100% of the defects that are larger than $30{\mu}m$. Currently, the inspection method in the PDP manufacturing process is dependent upon the naked eye or a microscope in off-line mode. In this study, a prototype inspection system for PDP ITO patterned glass is developed. The developed system, which is based on a line-scan mechanism, obtains information on the defects and sorts the defects by type automatically. The developed inspection system adopts a multi-vision method using slit-beam formation for minimum inspection time and the detection algorithm is embodied in the detection ability. Characteristic defects such as pin holes, substances, and protrusions are extracted using the blob analysis method. Defects such as open, short, spots and others are distinguished by the line type inspection algorithm. It was experimentally verified that the developed inspection system can detect defects with reliability of up to 95% in about 60 seconds for the 42-inch PDP panel.

A new high efficiency DC/DC converter is proposed, which is derived from the conventional asymmetric half-bridge converter. Because the proposed converter has better ZVS condition compared with the conventional asymmetric half-bridge converter, it shows a high efficiency along the wide load range. In this paper, the basic operations of the proposed converter is analyzed and compared with that of the conventional half-bridge converter, and the excellent performance of the proposed converter is verified by the experimental results with the 425W, 385-170Vdc prototype of the power supply for PDP (Plasma Display Panel) Sustain Driver of PDP TV.
