A transparent dielectric of the $PbO-B_2O_3-SiO_2-A1_2O_3$ system which was a low melting glass has been used for PDP (Plasma Display Panel), but it has a problem which is a reaction to be occurred between a transparent dielectric layer and electrodes (Ag, ITO) after firing. This research was conducted for ion migration of $Ag^+\$ and $Sn^ {2+}$ during firing three different frits of low melting glass. The result showed that yellowing phenomena occurred through a chemical reaction between $Ag^+\$and $Sn^ {2+}$ at 550~58$0^{\circ}C$ for 20~60 min. In addition, it was confirmed that the migration of $Sn^{2+}$ from ITO electrode made a strong effect on the yellowing phenomena.

In a rolling wire probe, a key component of an inspection apparatus for PDP electrode patterns, the electric performance of it is known to be strongly dependent on the surface condition of a collet pin, a needle pin, and a wire. However, the collet and needle pins rotate very rapidly in contact with each other, which results in the degradation of the surface by the heat and friction and finally the formation of black wear marks on the surface after a several hundred hours test. Once the black wear marks appear on the surface, the electric resistance of the probe increases sharply and so the integrity of the probe is severely damaged. In this experiment, TiN coating, which has excellent electric conductances and good wear-resistance, has been applied on the surface of collect and needle pins for preventing the surface damages. In order to achieve the homogeneous coating with a good adhesion property, special coating substrate stages and jigs were designed and applied during coating. TiN has been deposited using 99.999% Titanium target by a DC reactive sputtering method. According to the components and jigs, processing parameters, such as DC power, RF bias and the flow rate ratio of Ar and N$_2$ used as reactive gases, has been controlled to obtain good TiN films. Detailed problems and solutions for applying the new substrate stages and jigs will be discussed.

Recently zinc oxide(ZnO) has emerged as one of the most promising transparent conducting films with a strong demand of low cost and high performance optoelectronic devices, ZnO film has many advantages such as high chemical and mechanical stabilities, and abundance in nature. In this paper, in order to obtain the excellent transparent conducting film with low resistivity and high optical transmittance for Plasma Display Pannel(PDP), aluminium doped zinc oxide films were deposited on Corning glass substrate by dc magnetron sputtering method. The effects of the discharge power and doping amounts of $Al_2$$O_3$ on the electrical and optical properties were investigated experimentally. Particularly in order to lower the electrical resistivity, positive and negative bias voltages were applied on the substrate, and the effect of bias voltage on the electrical properties of ZnO:Al thin film were also studied and discussed. Films with lowest resistivity of $4.3 \times 10 ^{-4} \Omega-cm$ and good transmittance of 91.46 % have been achieved for the films deposited at 1 mtorr, $400^{\circ}C$, 40 W, Al content of 2 wt% with a substrate bias of +30 V for about 800 nm in film thickness.

This paper deals with the relationships between MgO manufacturing condition and misfiring at low temperature. The characteristics of MgO are affected by substrate temperature and MgO deposition current. In this study. the. substrate temperature was varied from $100^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. And the MgO deposition current was varied from 5mA to 20mA. As a result. the misfiring at low temperature was decreased in the panels with substrate temperature $200^{\circ}C$ and MgO deposition current 5mA. These results may be explained that the higher substrate temperature and lower MgO deposition current makes the denser film formation.

In this paper, we present a new reset waveform for a large-sustain-gap structure in at PDPs. In the driving of the large-sustain-gap structure with a conventional ramp reset waveform, we cannot avoid the condition of an address being a cathode, which causes lots of trouble in stabilizing a reset discharge. To solve these problems, we use the square pulse instead of the conventional rising ramp pulse. Before making a strong discharge between the address (cathode) and scan (anode) electrodes, we make a priming discharge between the address (anode) and the scan (cathode) electrodes to stabilize the strong discharge in which the address electrodes are the cathode. With this scheme, we obtained 60V minimum address voltage and 145V maximum address voltage in $250{\mu}m$ and $350{\mu}m$ gap structures.

This study uses neon, xenon, and helium gas mixture microdischarge to determine the effects of priming particles on the neon emission characteristics in an alternate current plasma display panel (AC PDP). The infrared (823 nm) and neon emission (585 nm) intensities are measured and compared in the blue cells in the case of new discharge with priming particles or conventional discharge without priming particles, respectively. It is found that the priming particles can produce a plasma discharge effectively even under the weak electric field condition, thereby resulting in reducing the neon emission intensity remarkably without sacrificing the IR emission intensity. As a result, it is found that the Ne emission intensity is reduced by about 46.4 % but the blue visible emission intensity is increased by about 15.2 % when compared with the conventional discharge without priming particles.

In this paper, a novel energy recovery circuit for AC PDPs(Plasma Display Panels) with reduced sustain voltage is proposed to improve the performance of conventional circuits such as TERES(TEchnology of REciprocal Sustainer). In the TERES circuit, the sustain voltage is the half of general sustaining driver for AC PDPs, however, there is no energy recovery circuit. In the proposed circuit, the efficiency is heightened by installing in energy recovery circuit and the loss of switching device is reduced by performing the zero voltage switching or zero current switching. Although the energy recovery circuit is added, the number of active switching elements of the proposed circuit is the same as that of the TERES circuit. The operations of the proposed circuit are analyzed for each mode and its validity is verified by the simulations and experimentation.

디스플레이 매체의 발전에 따라 TV나 컴퓨터 모니터 또는 TFT-LCD, PDP, EL 등의 평판 디스플레이장치들의 대형화, 고화질, 고정밀도가 요구되어지고 있다. 이러한 디스플레이 장치들은 영상표시를 위해 유리를 사용하고 있는데, 사용되는 유리의 형상과 두께는 디스플레이 장치들의 성능에 영향을 준다. 특히 장치가 대형화되면서 대형 평판 유리의 변형된 형상과 균일하지 않은 두께는 디스플레이 장치들의 고화질, 고정밀도를 막는 주요한 요인이 되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 디스플레이 장치용 평판 유리의 형상 및 두께를 측정하는 센서의 요구가 많아지고 있다. 그러나 아직 유리의 형상과 두께를 측정하는 센서 및 시스템은 고가이고. 측정 방법 또한 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 하나의 센서로 유리의 형상과 두께를 동시에 고속으로 측정이 가능한 저가의 비접촉식 광센서를 개발하기로 한다. 이 논문에서 개발된 광센서에는 CD-player에 사용되는 홀로그램 레이저를 사용함으로써 고정밀 형상측정, 저가의 광센서, 센서의 소형화를 이룰 수 있다.

Effects of Fe catalyst film and carbon nanotube (CNT) growth temperature on the characteristics of carbon nanotube were investigated in thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Fe catalyst was prepared by DC magnetron sputter with thickness of 5-40 nm and pre-treated with ammonia gas. CNTs were grown at $700-900^{\circ}C$. It was found that the island formation of catalyst is necessary for the CNT growth. The diameter of these CNTs shows a strong correlation with the catalyst film thickness and growth temperature.
