In the present investigation, $La^{3＋}$ and $Ce^{V}$ ions were substituted for $Y^{3＋}$ in the $YBO_3$: Tb in various concentrations. It has been found that these phosphors form solid solutions within limited concentration ranges Excitation and emission spectra under 254 nm and 147 nm were investigated for these phosphors to evaluate influences of $La^{3＋}$ and $Ce^{3＋}$ ions on brightness and CIE color coordinates. It has been observed that brightness of $(Y, La)BO_3$: Tb under 254 nm and 147 nm when $La^{3＋}$ ions are added show an increase of 2.7 times and 1.25 times, respectively. On the other hand, emission intensities of peaks in $Y_{0.8-x}$ $BO_3$: $Tb_{0.2}$ , $Ce_{x}$ show continuos decrease as $Ce^{3＋}$ / content is increased from 0 to 0.4. CIE color coordinates of prepared phosphors show yellowish green which is needed to be improved to be used for display applications.

The importance of display is becoming increasingly important due to the development of information and industry where it leads to diverse and abundant information in today's society. The demand and application range for FPD(Flat Panel Display), specifically represented by LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) and PDP(Plasma Display Panel), have been rapidly growing for its outstanding performance and convenience amongst many other forms of display. The current focus has been on OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode) in the mobile form, which has just entered into mass production amid the different types of FPD. Many studies are being conducted in regards to device, vacuum evaporation, encapsulation, and drive circuits with the development of device as a matter of the utmost concern. This study develops a new type of light-emitting materials by synthesizing medical polymer organic chitosan and phosphor material CuS. Chitosan itself satisfies the Pool-Frenkel Effect, an I-V specific curve, with a thin film under $20{mu}m$, and demonstrates production possibility for a living body sensors solely with the thin film. Furthermore, it enables production possibility for EML of organic EL device(Emitting Layer) with liquid Green light emitting and Blue light emitting as a result of synthesis with phosphor material.

Because of the reduced number of displayable gray levels resulting from inverse gamma correction, images on a plasma display panel (PDP) exhibit undesirable false contours in dark areas. An error diffusion method has been applied to remedy this problem. However, it is computationally expensive and requires large memory resources. This paper proposes a computationally efficient dithering based technique to improve the gray level reproduction capability in dark areas. In the proposed method, multiple dithering masks ate utilized in turn to improve the gray level reproduction in dark areas. Also, in order to reduce undesirable regular patterns generated by the dithering method, positions of threshold values within a given dithering mask are changed. Compared to the error diffusion method, the proposed method requires much less computations and memory resources with a comparable gray level reproduction capability.

Through two-dimensional numerical simulations, we analyzed the effects of new cell structure for the luminous efficacy improvement in an ac plasma display panel. In the new structure with 5 electrodes, two auxiliary electrodes are arranged between X and Y electrodes with long gap. Through the application of adequate auxiliary pulse on the address electrode, the luminous efficacy in the new cell structure showed the improvement of 52[%] in comparison with that of conventional cell structure with short gap between X and Y electrodes. Consequently, as the short gap discharge between auxiliary electrodes decreases and the long gap discharge between X and Y electrodes increases, the result of VUV generation efficacy shows higher improvement. The reliability of simulation result could he confirmed by the experimental result in the test panel.

The FPDs(Flat Panel Displays) such as LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) and PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode), recently, have been substituted for CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) displays because they have a convex surface, small volume, light weight and lower electric power consumption. The productivity of FPDs is greatly dependent on the area of thin glass panel with 0.6 - 0.8mm thickness because FPDs are manufactured by cutting a large-scaled thin glass panel with patterns to the required product dimensions. So FPD's industries are trying to increase the area of thin glass panel. For example, the thin glass panel size of the 8th generation is 2,200mm in width, 2,600mm in length and 0.7mm in thickness. The air flows both in the thin glass panel and in the porous PE-plate surface were modeled and analyzed, from which a working condition was estimated. The thin glass panel on the porous PE-plate surface with self-lubricating characteristics was investigated and compared with that on the square duct floating bar surface with many holes of 1mm diameter when the thin glass panel contacts the floating bar surface due to malfunction of electric power supply.

Green-emitting $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors for PDP(Plasma Display Panel) application were synthesized by colloidal seed-assisted spray pyrolysis process. The codoping with $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$, which replaces $Si^{4+}$ site in the willemite structure, was performed to improve the luminous properties of the $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The particles prepared by spray pyrolysis process using fumed silica colloidal solution had a spherical shape, small particle size, narrow size distribution, and non-aggregation characteristics. The $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ codoping amount affected the luminous characteristics of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The codoping with proper amounts of $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ improved both the photoluminescence efficiency and decay time of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphor particles. In spray pyrolysis, the post-treatment temperature is another factor controlling the luminous performance of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The $Zn_{1.9}SiO_4:Mn_{0.1}$ phosphor particles containing 0.1 mol% $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ co-dopant had a 5% higher PL intensity than the commercial product and 5.7 ms decay time after post-treatment at $1,145^{\circ}C$.

이번 실험에서는 변방전형 교류 PDP에서의 3차원적인 전자온도와 이온밀도의 측정을 마이크로 랑뮈르 탐침법을 통해 실험적으로 연구하였다. 스테핑 모터에 연결된 마이크로 랑뮈르 탐침은 20um씩 움직이며 탐침에 인가하는 플러스와 마이너스의 직류전압을 통해 I-V곡선을 구할 수 있고 이를 통해서 전자온도와 플라스마 밀도를 구할 수 있다. Ne+Xe(4%) 200Torr의 혼합가스에서 전극의 테두리를 따라(X축) 전자온도 및 플라스마 밀도를 측정한 결과 중앙지점에서와 전극의 경계지역에서 이온밀도는 $7.69{\sim}11.1{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$ 까지 측정되었다. 또한 전자온도는 플라스마 밀도와 균형적인 관계에 있다는 것은 주목할 만하다. 전자온도는 전극 사이의 중심에서 가장 적게 1.3 ~ 3.15eV까지 측정되었다. Y축으로 측정했을 경우 이온 밀도와 전자온도는 전극 갭 중앙에서부터 약 80um 떨어진 지점에서 서로 교차하며 증가 및 감소였으며 이온밀도는 $8.3{\sim}11.1{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$로 측정되었고 전자온도는 이와 균형적인 관계를 가지고 1.2~1.6eV로 측정되었다. 또한 이러한 특성은 AC PDP 에서 나타나는 줄무늬 현상과 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. Z축으로 측정했을 경우 약 125um높이에서 가장 높게 측정되었으며 $1.1{\times}10^{12}cm^{-3}$정도로 측정되었다.

We measured sputtering yield of RF $O_2-plasma$ treated MgO protective layer for AC-PDP(plasma display panel) using a Focused ion Beam System(FIB). A 10 kV acceleration voltage was applied. The sputtering yield of the untreated sample and the treated sample were 0.33 atoms/ion and 0.20 atoms/ion, respectively. The influence of the plasma-treatment of MgO thin film was characterized by XPS and AFM analysis. We observed that the binding energy of the O 1s spectra, the FWHM of O 1s spectra and the RMS(root-mean-square) of surface roughness decreased to 2.36 eV, 0.6167 eV and 0.32 nm, respectively.

This study, compared with data of PbO-base glass system is a part of new glass composition design with Bi-base composition for PDP Rib. As $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-ZnO$ glass composition including Bi, which have similar density value and work facility to PbO, properties of softening point, thermal expansion coefficient, chemical durability, dielectric constant, and structural changing by XPS were investigated. $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-ZnO$ glass system, added 50∼80 wt% $Bi_2O_3$ widely, were presented 400∼480$^{\circ}C$ softening temperature, $68{\sim}72{\times}10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$ thermal expansion coefficient and 13∼25 dielectric constant. These results were showed similar physical properties with Pb-base glass system of same composition content, application possibility as starting composition of rib material was identified through micro-control of components and physical properties. The bonding energy of $O_{1s}$ as the $Bi_2O_3$ content decreasing was increased and full width at half-maximum (FWHM) was decreased, which is caused by non-bridging oxygen increasing.

UV irradiated acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives(PSAs) are prepared to be used for thermal pad in plasma display panel(PDP). The effect of the chemical structure of side-chain in comonomer and of crosslinking agent on wet-out property of acrylic PSAs in wide temperature range were investigated. The correlationship between viscoelastic behavior and adhesion properties, such as tack and peel strength, was also studied. The experimental results supported that wet-out and adhesion properties of acrylic PSAs were enhanced inversely proportional to side-chain length of comonomer in wide temperature range. The peel energy clearly increased in acrylic PSAs prepared by using di(ethylene glycol) dimethylacrylate (DEGDMA) for crosslinking agent. The results might be due to the difference in the glass transition temperature and viscoelastic behavior of acrylic PSAs.
