The effects of the base vacuum level on a plasma display panel (PDP) produced by the vacuum in-line sealing technology were investigated. The main equipment of the vacuum in-line sealing process consists of the sealing chamber, pumping systems for evacuating, mass flow controller for introducing the plasma gases, and other measuring systems. During the sealing process, the impurity gases were fully evacuated and the panel was prevented from the adsorption of impurity gases. As a result, the brightness increased as the impurity gas density decreased, so we found that the vacuum in-line sealing process was more efficient technology an the conventional sealing process.

The glass compositions of $PbO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ system and $P_2O_5-PbO-ZnO$ system for the transparent dielectric materials for front panel and $P_2O_5-ZnO-BaO$ and $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ for the reflective dielectric materials for back panel of PDP(Plasma Display Panel) were investigated. As a transparent dielectric materials for front panel, $PbO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ glass showed good dielectric properties, high transparency and proper thermal expansion matching to soda-lime glass substrate. And the reflective dielectric materials for back panel were prepared from parent glass of $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ system and oxide filler. It was found that these glass-ceramics are useful materials for reflective dielectric layers, as those have a similar thermal expansion to soda-lime glass plate, high reflectance, low sintering temperature.

In AC plasma display, it is very important to quantify the wall voltage induced by the wall charge accumulated on the dielectric surface. If we know the quantities of the wall voltage in each period of every sequence; reset period, address period and sustain period, then it helps us to design the optimal driving waveform for high efficiency plasma display. We develop a new method to measure the wall voltage with VDS (Versatile Driving Simulator) system. From this method the wall voltage induced by a wall charge profiles just after the reset discharge of every cells in plasma display panel can be investigated and analyzed successfully. It is noted that the wall voltage profiles are influenced by the space charge and then they are stabilized as time goes by. It is also noted that both the remaining wall charge at the previous sequence and space charges contribute to wall voltage quantities just after the reset discharge. It is noted that the wall charges contribute dominantly after a few hundreds microseconds, while the space charges have been decayed within 100 ${\mu}s$ just after the reset discharge.

The glass compositions of $PbO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ system and $P_2O_5-PbO-ZnO$ system for the transparent dielectric materials for front panel and $P_2O_5$-ZnO-BaO and $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ for the reflective dielectric materials for back panel of PDP (Plasma Display Panel) were investigated. As a result, transparent dielectric materials for front panel showed good dielectric properties, high transparency, and proper thermal expansion matching to soda lime glass substrate. And the reflective dielectric layers for back panel were prepared from two series of parent glass and oxide filler. It was found that these glassceramics are useful materials for dielectric layers in PDP device, as they have similar thermal expansion to soda-lime glass plate, high reflectance, and low sintering temperature. In particular, the addition of $BPO_4$ and $TiO_2$ as fillers to $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ system is considered to be the most effective for acquiring good properties of lower dielectric layer for PDP device.

FPD(Flat Panel Display) 시장은 디지털 기술의 발전으로 급속하게 성장하고 있으며, 이는 TV 시장에서도 마찬가지이다. 많은 전문가들은 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)와 PDP(Plasma Display Panel)의 기술적 차이로 인해 LCD는 소형 크기의 TV에 적합하고, PDP는 대형 TV에 적합할 것이라 예상하고, 이에 따라 FPD TV 시장에 적용되는 기술이 목표시장(target market)에 따라 양분할 것으로 전망하였다. 그러나 LCD 생산기술상의 예상치 못한 급속한 진전은 PDP가 목표로 하는 대화면 TV 시장에서 LCD가 독자적인 틈새시장을 형성하고 이를 점차 확대할 수 있도록 하였다. 이러한 시장 전개 양상은 LCD와 PDP의 경쟁을 심화시키고, 현재 앞에서 전망한 바와 같은 현상은 발견되지 않고 있으며, 오히려 대화면 TV 시장에서조차 LCD가 우위에 있음을 보여주는 사례가 많다. 본 연구에서는 LCD가 PDP와의 기술적 격차를 줄이고, 결과적으로 LCD와 PDP간 경계를 무너뜨린 보다 근원적인 원인을 분석한다. 특히 이러한 잠재적 메커니즘을 시스템 다이나믹스 방법론을 도입하여 분석한다. 특히 PDP에 대하여 점진적으로 LCD가 우위를 확보하게 되는 피드백 루프들을 밝혀 내고자 한다. 그리고 이러한 피드백 루프 중에서 가장 효과가 큰 메커니즘을 찾아낸다.

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.

Low sustained voltage $(V_s)$ and high luminous efficiency (lumen/Watts) are required for the enhanced performance of an AC PDP. Both are not realized in the same condition, however, because luminous efficiency decreases when the sustained voltage is lowered in most cases. In this study, the three design factors in the front panel of a PDP, i.e., the thickness and position of the bus electrode and the thickness of the dielectric layer, were chosen to investigate how they affect the sustained voltage and the luminous efficiency, and to find a way to optimize them. Two values were given to each of the three design factors, and experiments were done via full factorial design, i.e., with a total of eight conditions, using a 3-in.diagonal test panel. The changes in the sustained voltage and the luminous characteristics were explained in connection with the discharge characteristics of the PDP cells.

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.
