Mercury-free lamp, external electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) which includes the xenon gas, is now going on the research for the replacement of mercury lamp. The densities of excited xenon atom in the $1s_4$ resonance state and the $1s_5$ metastable state are investigated in the EEFL by a laser absorption spectroscopy under various gas pressures. We have measured the absorption signals for both $1s_4$ resonance and the $1s_5$ metastable state in the EEFL by varying the discharge currents for a given pressure. This basic absorption characteristic is very important for improvement of the VUV luminous efficiency of the EEFL as well as plasma display panel.

A new reset waveform with negative ramp pulse is proposed. Conventional reset waveform applied to the commercial PDP uses a positive ramp pulse. The reset waveforms, especially focused on ramp area, were examined with 2 dimensional fluid code. The proposed negative reset waveform showed much lower ignition voltage ($\sim$70V) as compared with the conventional reset waveform. When the negative ramp pulse was applied, all of the positive-charged ions are collected on the scan electrode. It is found that the ignition voltage of reset discharge due to the negative ramp pulse became lower than that of positive ramp discharge.

New planar discharge structured AC-PDP has been developed by using TFCS (Thick Film Ceramic Sheet) technology. By applying TFCS to AC-PDP, a sustaining electrode and scanning electrodes are embedded in the TFCS. It is shown that panel performances such as electrical and optical characteristics are superior to commercialized coplanar AC-PDP as well as cost reduction. Moreover the experimental result shows panel performances can be improved drastically by continuous development.

AC PDP with surface micro discharge has a structure that all discharge electrodes are arranged on the front glass panel, and the rear glass panel merely serves as a cover glass to form the micro discharge space. The relationships between the dischage voltage and the structure among such as electrode width, distance between electrodes, discharge space gap, and dielectric layer width are investigated.

고정세 PDP에서 방전 cell의 휘도와 효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 cell을 구성하고 있는 layer의 광학 성질과 구조를 고려한 설계가 필요하다. 3-dimensional optical code를 사용한 새로운 접근 방법은 다양한 geometry의 구성, 광학 성질의 적용의 용이함, 정확한 분석 데이터 등의 장점을 활용하여 PDP cell의 구조와 재료 변화에 따른 광 패턴과 조도 ($1m/mm^2$)를 관찰함으로써 향상된 휘도와 효율 특성을 갖는 cell 구조를 설계할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문은 PDP 상판을 구성하는 ITO, bus electrode, dielectric layer의 구조와 광학특성을 변화 시키고, 현재 양산 모델에 적용중인 다양한 상판 구조를 optical code를 활용하여 연산하여 도출된 결과를 비교하였다.

본 연구에서 우리는 ITO 전극을 사용하지 않은 새로운 전극구조를 가지는 PDP를 제안하였다. 제안한 경사형 대향전 극구조는 언덕형태의 유전체층 사이에 경사형 버스전극을 가진 PDP의 방전 특성을 연구하였는데 제안한 구조는 긴 방전 경로, 낮은 방전전류, 높은 휘도와 효율의 특징을 나타내었다. 기존의 면방전형 전극구조와 비교하였을 때 발광 효율은 1.8배 휘도는 약 45% 증가하였으며 방전전류는 약 38% 정도 감소하였다.

In this study the optical properties, such as relative transmittance and reflectance of PDP were analyzed with 3D optical code. Because of the electrode structure, the reference model shows 21.3 % higher transmittance than the test model and the reference model shows 16.6 % higher reflectance than the test model. The calculated reflectance of reference and test models is compared to the measured reflectance and the difference between calculation and measurement is 4.9 %.

In this paper, we propose a newly developed selective reset waveform of a ac PDP using the wide erase pulse technique with the control of address bias voltage. Although it is generally understood that the wide pulse erasing methode shows the narrow driving margin in an opposite discharge type ac PDP, we could obtain a moderate driving margin in a 3-electrode surface discharge type ac PDP. The obtained driving margin shows a strong dependency on the sustain voltage and the address bias voltage. The lower the sustain and the address bias voltage, the wider the driving margin. The pulse width of the proposed waveform is only $10{\mu}s$, which gives additional time to the sustain period, hence increases the brightness. The brightness and contrast ratio increase about 20% together comparing to the conventional ramp type selective reset waveform with the driving scheme of 10 subfield ADS method. The driving margin was measured with the line by line addressed pattern on the white test panel of 2inch diagonal size and the discharge gas was Ne+Xe4%, 400torr.

The detailed studies regarding to the front and rear panel geometries and optical properties of composed layers were needed to improve the luminance and efficiency. 3-dimensional optical code can be used to analyze the variation of geometries and the changing of optical properties. The visible light distributions and illuminance results were simulated depending on the bus electrode position, ITO geometries and optical properties of dielectric layer. As the ITO area was decreased and the bus electrode was located at the outer part of cell, the illumination was increased. And we could find quantification which is related between dielectric layer and visible light distribution of PDP cell.
