A mixture which was made from organic gel, glass powder and ceramic powder was masklessly etched for fabrication of barrier rib of PDP(Plasma Display Panel) by focused Ar$^{+}$ laser( λ =514 nm) and Nd:YAG(λ =532, 266 nm) laser irradiation at the atmosphere. The depth of the etched grooves increases with increasing a laser fluence and decreasing a scan speed. Using second harmonic of Nd:YAG laser, the threshold laser fluence was 6.5 mJ/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for the sample of PDP barrier rib softened at 12$0^{\circ}C$. The thickness of 130 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of the sample on the glass was clearly removed without any damage on the glass substrate by fluence of 19.5 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$....

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.

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.

Plasma Display Panel(PDP) is a type of flat panel display utilizing the light emission produced by gas discharge. Barrier Ribs of PDP separating each sub-pixel prevents optical and electrical crosstalks from adjacent sub-pixels. The mold for forming the barrier ribs has been newly researched to overcome the disadvantages of conventional manufacturing processes such as screen printing, sand-blasting and photosensitive glass methods. The mold for PDP barrier ribs have stripes of micro grooves transferring glass-material wall. In this paper, Stripes of grooves of which width 48${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, depth 124$\mu\textrm{m}$ , pitch 274$\mu\textrm{m}$ was acquired by machining of single crystal silicon with dicing saw blade. Maximum roughness of the bottom of the grooves was 59.6nm Ra in grooving Si. Barrier ribs were formed with silicone rubber mold, which is transferred from grooved Si forming hard mold. Silicone rubber mold has the elasticity, which enable to accommodate the waveness of lower glass plate of PDP. The methods assisted by the microwave and UV was adopted for reducing the forming time of glass paste.

Barrier rib for the plasma display panel(PDP) was made by photolithographic process utilizing photosensitive barrier rib paste. The barrier rib paste was prepared by first dissolving ethylcellulose(binder polymer) in butyl carbitol(BC)/butyl carbitol acetate(BCA) =30/70 wt % mixture solvent at 15 wt % concentration. To this solution a mixture of functional monomers consisted of tripropyleneglycol diacrylate/ pentaerythritol triacrylate = 50/50 wt %, Irgacur 651 photoinitiator, and barrier rib powder were added and then the whole mixture was mixed in the three roll mill for 2 hr. The effect of component and concentration of photosensitive barrier paste on the photolithographic process was studied. After optimization of the paste formulation and photolithographic process, barrier rib could be obtained with good resolution up to $100{\mu}m$ height.

Barrier ribs in the plasma display panel(PDP) function to maintain the discharge space between the glass plates as well as to prevent optical crosstalk. Patterning of barrier ribs is one of unique processes for making PDP. In this work photosensitive barrier rib pastes were prepared by incorporating binder polymer, solvent, functional monomers photoinitiator, and barrier rib powder of which surface was treated with fumed silica particles. Study on the function of materials for the barrier rib paste were undertaken. After optimization of paste formulation and photolithographic process, it was found that photolithographic patterning of barrier ribs with photosensitive barrier rib green sheet could be used in the fabrication of high resolution PDP.

Lowering the dielectric constant is one of the important issues for the efficiency and the power consumption in the plasma display panel (PDP) industry. This study examined the effect of the addition of ceramic filler (up to 10% of crystalline and amorphous silica, respectively) to a $B_2O_3$-ZnO- $P_2O_5$ glass matrix on the dielectric, coefficient of thermal expansion, etching behaviors and residual stress for the barrier ribs in plasma display panels. The dielectric constant of barrier ribs is affected by containing two types of $SiO_2$ filler for the barrier rib composition in PDP.

We measured a 3-dimensional images of the light emitted from plasma display panel(PDP) by using newly proposed scanned point detecting system. In the panel without phosphor, as we scan from the rear glass to the front glass, the detected light intensity increases and the light intensity detected in the inside edge of the ITO electrodes shows the stronger intensity than others. The light intensity detected between the barrier ribs shows the largest value of brightness. Also, as the sustain voltage increases, the detected light intensity increases. In the panel with phosphor, the intensity of light detected at barrier rib shows the stronger light intensity than rear plate. Therefore, the phosphor of barrier rib is very important. From these results the 3-dimensional measurement is necessary to understand exactly the discharge phenomenon in the PDP cell.
