In this paper, we proposed fence electrode structures. The experimental structures change cross-bar length as 145, 105, 65 and $30{\mu}m$ to improve the electro-optical characteristics. The proposed structures improve the addressing time and luminous efficacy compared with the T145 structure which has the cross-bar length of $145{\mu}m$ as the reference. Especially, in the case of the T30 structure with cross-bar length of $30{\mu}m$, it gains lower power consumption by 34%, and higher luminous efficacy by 20% than those of the reference structure.

This research has improved the problem of discharge AND gate PDP proposed before. The polarity of the DC discharge which composes AND gate is reversely designed and the cross talk problem to the adjacent scanning electrode has been improved. The AND gate proposed before operated by using non-linearity of the discharge by the space charge. In this research, new discharge NOT logic in which it was used that an applied voltage changed with the discharge circuit was added to AND gate. AND gate came to operate more stably. A selective address was able to be discharged with four horizontal scanning electrodes from the experiment result. The operation margin of the AND gate discharge obtained 34V and of the address discharge obtained 70V.

The liquid metal ion sources(LMIS) in FIB system have many advantages of high current density, high brightness and low ion energy spread. Most FIB systems use LMIS because the ion beam spot size of LMIS is smaller than other ion sources. LMIS is basically emitted by an extractor but the new electrode called the suppressor is able to control the emission current. We investigated characteristics LMIS with a suppressor, the function of the suppressor in LMIS, the change of the electric field by the suppressor and the advantages of using the suppressor. The characteristics of the threshold voltage and current-voltage (I-V) were observed under the varying extracting voltage with floated suppressor voltage, and under the varying suppressor voltages with fixed extractor voltage. We also simulated LMIS with the suppressor through CST(Computer Simulation Technology). The emission current increases as the suppressor voltage decreases because the suppressor voltage which restrains the electric field goes down, The threshold voltage increases as the suppressor voltage increases. We can explain characteristics and functions of LMIS with a suppressor using the electric field.

A selective reset waveform which can improve the dark room contrast ratio in a large sustain gap structure is suggested in this paper. When conventional selective reset discharge is performed, frequent unexpected misfiring happens because of high Vxb and much quantity of negative wall charge formed on Y electrode during final sustain period. The misfiring between sustain electrode and address electrode can be removed by lowering Vxb value and the misfiring between address electrode and scan electrode can be prevented by applying last sustain pulse of 40us and rectangular pulse of Vscan on Y electrode. When the selective reset waveform has one time reset per 8 subfields, black luminance of 1.55 cd/m2 can be obtained without any misfiring.

This paper proposes the new narrow erase method to erase wall charges formed in an AC plasma display panel (PDP) cell. In the Proposed method, sustain switching timing is adjusted for inducing a weak discharge. Then, after the narrow erase, tile voltage of the X electrode is set to differ from that of the Y electrode. For the proposed method, the measured maximum address voltage margin was 38.3V at Y_Reset voltage of 100V and sustain voltage of 180∼185V. However, for the prior method, in which the X and Y electrodes we set to be of equal voltage after the narrow erase, the measured maximum address voltage margin was 31.3V at Y_Reset voltage of 150V and sustain voltage of 180V. This result shows that the measured maximum voltage margin for the proposed method is greater than that for the prior method by ∼7V(22%).

A new type of Bi based glass frit was developed for Ag paste in PDP applications and its properties are compared with the commercially used Pb based glass frit. After optimization of the properties of Bi based frits for PDP application such as the softening temperature and the coefficient of thermal expansion (C.T.E), the screen printed electrodes prepared with the Bi based fit contained Ag paste were characterized. In $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-Al_2O_3$ glass system with the more than 50% of $Bi_2O_3$, the softening temperature, the thermal expansion coefficient and the line resistivity was 400∼$480^{\circ}C$, 7.31∼$10.02\times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$> and 4.1∼4.8$\Omega$ respectively. Properties of the Bi based frits are comparable with the Pb based frits. A printability and an uniformity of the Bi based frits were excellent in screen printed Ag eletrode. The Bi based frit system is an excellent candidate material for Pb free and Alkali free frit in PDP applications.

In order to drive the high-density plasma displays, a high-speed driving technology must be researched. In this experiment, the relationship between the width of the address electrode and high-speed driving is analyzed using the Vt close curve and the panel structure for high-speed driving is proposed. In addition we show that the wider the width of the address electrode is, the narrower the width of the scan pulse becomes. Therefore, we could achieve the minimum data voltage of 50.1V at a scan pulse width of $1.0/{\mu}s$ and a ramp voltage of 210V at an address electrode width of $180/{\mu}m$ for the high-speed driving 4-inch test PDP.

We proposed the new structure of ac plasma display panel(PDP) to improve the luminous efficacy and driving voltage characteristics. Through two-dimensional numerical simulations, we analyzed the effects of new counter discharge type, which consists of counter sustain electrodes and auxiliary electrodes. Generally, an advantage of AC PDP with the counter sustain electrodes has been known for the driving characteristics of the low voltage. In this work, the new counter structure using the ignition discharge by the auxiliary pulse applied to the address electrode showed the result of the increased luminous efficacy. The short gap discharge between two auxiliary electrodes on the front plate could intensity the long gap discharge between counter electrodes. The reliability of simulation result could be confirmed by the experimental result in the test panel.
