We have developed a new PDP cell structure called MARI(${\underline{M}}ulti$ ${\underline{A}}node$ for ${\underline{R}}eduction$ of ${\underline{I}}onic$ effect) and new driving scheme achieving a high luminous efficacy. The MARI PDP has middle electrode inserted between X and Y main electrodes. In the MARI PDP, reset and scan voltage is applied to middle electrode and sustain voltage is applied to X and Y electrode. Using a long gap sustain discharge we accomplished a high luminous efficacy. And we developed 42”full panel adopting MARI structure and new driving scheme and attained luminous efficacy of 2.35lm/W.

The dielectric layers in AC plasma display panel(AC PDP) are essential to the discharge cell structure, because they protect metal electrodes from sputtering by positive ion and from a sheath of wall charges which are essential to memory function of AC PDP. Furthermore, this layer should be transparent because the visible light must pass through the layer. In this paper, the dielectric breakdown strength and transparency of the dielectric layer on the discharge electrodes are studied. The variables in this test are the dielectric layer thickness, dielectric firing condition, gas pressure, species of gas and so on.

One of the most important issues in fence-type PDP is low luminance and luminous efficiency. To improve luminance and luminous efficiency, new sustain electrode structure which contains long discharge gap is necessary. However, it causes rise of firing voltage. In this paper, a new fence electrode structure is proposed in order to solve these problems. To drop the firing voltage, tow hump shaped electrodes is added on the main discharge electrode, and distance between two humps is controlled. The experimental results show that the test panel with the narrow horizontal gap(40um) between two humps shows low firing voltage by 17V compared with 80um gap in spit of similar luminance and luminous efficiency.

For the quantitative investigation of the erosion of MgO layers in real ac-PDP cells, we constructed a microscopic spectrophotometer which is capable of measuring transmission spectra from the area as small as 20 ${\times}$ 20 ${\mu}m^2$. In the test on the sputtered MgO films with a thickness gradient, we were able to probe the thickness variation of 1000 nm over $1000-{\mu}m$ distance. Using this instrument, we were able to determine not only the erosion rate at the particular position of ac-PDP cells but also the relative erosion rate at different positions in a single ac-PDP cell.

MgO protection layer in ac PDP(plasma display panel) prevents the dielectric layer from ion bombarding in discharge plasma. The MgO layer also has the additional important role in lowering the firing voltage due to a large secondary electron emission coefficient. Until now, the MgO protection layer is mainly prepared by E-beam evaporation. In this study, MgO protection layer is prepared on dielectric layer of ac PDP cell by reactive R.F magnetron sputtering with Mg target under various conditions of oxygen partial pressure. Discharge characteristics of PDP is also studied as a parameter of MgO preparation conditions. The sputtered MgO shows the better discharge characteristics compared with MgO deposited by E-beam evaporator.

The addressing time should be reduced by modifying cell structure and/or driving method in order to replace the dual scan system by single scan and increase the luminance in large ac plasma display panel(PDP). In this paper, the effects of the addressing time was decreased with decreasing thickness of dielectric layer on the front glass and thickness of white dielectric layer on the rear glass. the decreasing rate were 160ns/10$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 270ns/10$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively Also in case of decreasing the height of barrier rib, addressing time was decreased at the rate of Sons/10$\mu\textrm{m}$.

To improve the luminous efficacy of PDPs, an AC PDP with new metal electrode structure is suggested. Operating voltage margin, power consumption, luminance, luminous efficacy, addressing jitter and ICCD image of test panel with proposed structure are measured, to compared with performances of the conventional ITO structure and proposed structures. To enhance luminous efficacy, we designed new structure which have asymmetric metal electrode structure. The experimental results show that the suggested structure shows luminance to maximum 89% and luminous efficacy to maximum 107% compared with conventional ITO standard structure. In addition, proposed structures with asymmetric electrode show low power consumption by $2{\sim}3%$, high luminance by $5{\sim}7%$, and high luminous efficacy by $2{\sim}3%$ compared with proposed symmetric electrode structures.

We propose a new PDP cell structure named DIDE (Dual Ignition Discharge Electrodes) structure with a long electrode gap to realize a high luminous efficacy. Suggested DIDE structure basically has a long electrode gap $(200{\mu}m{\sim}400{\mu}m)$, nevertheless, because of auxiliary electrodes formed on the front panel, can be driven at relatively low voltage. The discharge characteristic of DIDE structure was much different from that of conventional structure, which was analyzed by IR emission images using IICCD (Image Intensified Charge Coupled Device). The study can explain some particular characteristics of DIDE structure. As a result, the long electrode gap and low voltage effect can be expected in DIDE structure, and a very high luminous efficacy of 7.5 lm/W has been achieved in monochrome green test panel adopting the new cell structure with Ne-Xe (12%) mixture at 400 torr.

We have suggested several plasma display panel (PDP) cell structures for high luminance and low power consumption by our two-and three-dimensional fluid simulation codes. Generally, to improve luminous efficiency and discharge efficiency, it is known that it is lucrative to use long discharge path and to form low electric field. However, the problems are how to implement them effectively in the small PDP cell. Therefore, unlike conventional model, we suggest Front Three Electrodes (FTE) model. In this model, we tried to make long and V-shaped discharge path by geometry changes and driving pulse variations. Consequently, from our simulation results based on the model above, luminous efficiency has improved about 2.6 times.

Luminance and contrast ratio is one of the most fundamental and important parameters of plasma display panel. Understanding the effects of cell design parameters on the display and background luminance is inevitable for improving the contrast ratio. We report the experimental results on the relationships between cell parameters and contrast ratio of the ac PDP driven by ADS scheme. It was found that the contrast ratio is the most significantly affected by rib height and optimum range of the rib height simultaneously affects the facing discharge during the reset periods, diffusion loss of plasma and shadowing of the visible light emitted from phosphor.
