Optical simulation of the rear and front panel geometries were needed to improve the luminance and efficiency in PDP cells. The 3-dimensional optical code can be used to analyze the variation of geometries and changing of optical properties. In order to improve the accuracy of simulated results, a new UV source, called a multi-cubes UV source, was designed. To design the source, at first UV distribution was calculated with the plasma fluid code and then the UV distribution was transformed to the multi-cube structures in the optical code. Compared to the results from existing UV source, called a planar UV source, could be improved the accuracy of visible light distribution. Simulated results were also compared to the visible distribution measured with the ICCD in a real PDP cell.

To replace the dual scan system by single scan in large ac plasma display(PDP), the addressing time should be reduced by modifying cell structure and driving circuits. Moreover. the luminance of the PDP can be also increased with the decrease in the addressing time. In this paper, various shapes of bus and address electrode have been investigated to reduce the addressing time in ADS driving method. The experimental results show that the addressing time can be reduced more than 30% compared to the conventional type by modifying the electrodes without reducing the luminance of the PDP.

The dielectric layers in AC plasma display panel(PDP) are essential to the discharge cell structure, because they protect metal electrodes from sputtering by positive ion bombarding in discharge plasma and form a sheath of wall charges which are essential to memory function of AC PDP. This layer should have high dielectric breakdown voltage, and also be transparent because the luminance of PDP is strongly correlated this layer. In this paper, we discussed the dielectric breakdown voltage and transparency of the dielectric layer under various conditions. As a result, on the $15\mum$ thickness, the minimum dielectric breakdown voltage was 435V and the transmission coefficient was about 80% after $570^{\circ}C$ firing process. It can be proposed that the resonable dielectric thickness in AC PDP is $15\mum$ because it has about 75V margin on the maximum applied voltage.

A simple ray tracing model is developed to establish the relationship between the distributions of observed visible light and the excited Xe species in a PDP cell. The ray tracing model can obtain the density distribution of the excited Xe species. It shows the two independent discharge modes created during a single period of sustaining discharge. The maximum density of excited Xe species is located about $148{\mu}m$ away from the center of the gap between two sustaining electrodes. We also found the loss rate of VUV photons by comparing the luminance profile predicted in our theoretical model from experimental results. According to calculations based on our model, only about 22 percent of the photons can impinge the phosphor layer.

Plasma Display(PDP) was successfully demonstrated on 30-60inch display panel. Research for mass production is also been accelerating. The basic study of PDP are mainly focused on understanding of micro discharge in each cell In this paper, DC PDP with Ag electrode is made and the discharge charcateristics in micro gap is studied with the variation of the distance of electrode gap and the pressure in discharge cell.

In ac plasma display(PDP), an image quality mainly depends on the contrast ratio. And the contrast ratio is affected by the driving condition and size of discharge cell. In this study, the electrical and optical characteristics during reset, address and sustain discharge were investigated as the height and width of barrier rib were varied in order to obtain the highest contrast ratio. As a result, the optimum rib height and width were 140${\mu}m$ and 600${\mu}m$, respectively.

정보화 사회의 발전과 더불어 디스플레이는 CRT의 고성능화와 병행해 각종 평판 디스플레이의 전개와 실용화가 진행되어 왔다. TV용은 CRT (cathod ray tube)방식이 시장의 90% 이상을 차지하고 있으며, 앞으로도 연간 약 3%의 성장이 예상된다. CRT는 많은 공간 소비와 높은 소비전력 유해파 등으로 인하여 가정용 TV의 경우 PDP가 컴퓨터 모니터는 LCD방식이 디스플레이 시장의 주역을 담당하고 있으며, 그 성능, 비용, 용도에 따라 나뉘어 빠른 비율로 성정해 갈 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 여러 가지 평판 디스플레이들은 특성에 따라 EL과 FED는 10인치 이하의 소형 디스플레이에 주로 사용되어 지며, LCD는 10인치 이하에서부터 30인치까지의 소·중형, CRT는 10인치 이상 40인치 이하의 중·대형에 사용되어 지고, PDP는 30인치 이상의 대형 디스플레이에 사용된다. 대형 PDP나 LCD는 휘도를 높이고 양질의 영상 표현을 위해서는 cell-gap의 균일성이 요구되어 진다. cell-gap의 측정은 제품이 거의 완성 단계 있을 때 이루어져야 함으로 비접촉식이 필연적이며, 실시간 적이어야만 가능하다.

Effects of delay and panel temperature on the discharge time lag and the controllability of weak discharge mode were studied under single cell driving circumstances of ac PDP. It was found that sufficient number of priming particle is necessary for inducing weak discharge in ramp voltage driving. Discharge time lag was reduced dramatically under elevated panel temperature condition It is speculated that decrement of discharge time lag at the high temperature is related to the reduction of diffusion loss of charged particles during the after glow.

One of the most important problems in ADS method is that the method has too long addressing period, The addressing time can be defined as the sum of the discharge time lag and the duration of discharge current. If the addressing time increases, the sustaining period for display image should be decreased. As a result, the luminance of the PDP decreases. Therefore, the discharge time lag and duration of discharge current should be decreased in order to reduce the addressing time. In this paper, in order to improve addressing time, relationships between addressing time and cell structure in AC PDP was studied
