This paper deals with the relationships between discharge current wave form and the structure of AC PDP cells. The Paschen minimum can be found in the range of $200{\sim}300\;torr$ under the condition of electrode width of $300{\mu}m$ and $100{\mu}m$ electrode gap. Furthermore, the charge current does not vary with the gas pressure, whereas the time delay in the discharge inception voltage decreased both peak and r.m.s discharge current increase with gas pressure and electrode width.

A new reset waveform is proposed for reducing the reset period. A square pulse is applied to the address electrode while reset pulse ramps and before a discharge between the sustain electrodes occurs. The square pulse induces a discharge between the address electrode and the X electrode, and the induced wall charge is opposite to the applied ramp pulse. Thus, the next discharge between the sustain electrodes becomes weaker. The weaker discharge lowers background luminance and improves contrast ratio. Thus, the new reset waveform can reduce ramp up time in the ramp reset waveform The experimental results show that the ramp up time can be reduced by about 90% compared with the conventional ramp reset waveform.

Up to now, one of the most serious problems in AC PDP is low luminous efficiency. One possible candidate for solving such problem is using high density Xe. But an increase of the Xe percentage cause rising of the driving voltage and so even if brightness is being increased, luminous efficiency is decreased. In this study, to solve this problem, we proposed new electrode structure. A test panel fabricated using new electrode shows an improvement of efficiency by 25% and a lowering of sustain voltage by 20% compared with the conventioned structure.

New address electrode having separated dual electrode is suggested to reduce addressing time in ac PDP. Addressing characteristics of suggested electrode has been investigated in the test panel with high Xe partial pressure. It has been found that both the formative and jitter width of the suggested electrode is improved by 10 -20 % over the wide range of address voltage level compared with the conventional one. The dynamic margin of the panel also greatly improved. The key feature behind this type of structure is that it can extend the controllability of the wall charge distribution during the reset and address discharge without significant increase in capacitive load of address electrode.

Low sustained voltage $(V_s)$ and high luminous efficiency (lumen/Watts) are required for the enhanced performance of an AC PDP. Both are not realized in the same condition, however, because luminous efficiency decreases when the sustained voltage is lowered in most cases. In this study, the three design factors in the front panel of a PDP, i.e., the thickness and position of the bus electrode and the thickness of the dielectric layer, were chosen to investigate how they affect the sustained voltage and the luminous efficiency, and to find a way to optimize them. Two values were given to each of the three design factors, and experiments were done via full factorial design, i.e., with a total of eight conditions, using a 3-in.diagonal test panel. The changes in the sustained voltage and the luminous characteristics were explained in connection with the discharge characteristics of the PDP cells.

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, pulse timing of switch at the sustain period is adjusted for inducing, a weak discharge. Then, after the narrow erase, the 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_Rest voltage of 100V and sustain voltage of 180${\sim}$185V. However, for the conventional method, in which the X and Y electrodes are set to be of equal voltage after the narrow erase, the measured maximum address voltage margin was 31.3V at Y_Rest voltage of 150V and sustain voltage of 180V. This result shows that the measured maximum voltage margin for the proposed method is about 7V(22%) higher than that for the conventional method.

최근 대형 FPD로 주목받고 있는 PDP는 높은 방전개시전압과 투명전극인 ITO를 사용함으로서 가격이 상승하는 문제점이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 ITO전극 대신 금속(Ag) BUS전극을 사용해 저가격화를 이룰 수 있는 Fence전극구조에 Floating전극을 도입함으로서 방전개시전압을 낮추고 효율을 개선할 수 있는 새로운 Fence전극구조를 제안하였다. 실험은 reference와 제안된 구조로 구성되어 있는 4-inch AC PDP에 Test Panel을 직접 제작하여 firing voltage, discharge current, luminanace, luminous efficiency를 측정하여 비교하였다. 제안된 구조는 방전개시전압이 최대 20V감소하고 방전전류가 최대 17%감소하였고 효율면에서도 최대 13%의 상승을 보였다.

Using two- and three-dimensional fluid simulation codes, we have suggested several new plasma display panel (PDP) cell structures that have high luminous efficiency compared with conventional structure. To improve the luminance and discharge efficiency, we utilize long discharge path, lower electric field region, and reduction of power consumption by adding one auxiliary electrode or reducing the electrode area. Consequently, luminous efficiency increases about 1.8 times. Furthermore for the resonance radiation trapping effect in PDP system, we have described a self-consistent radiation transport model coupled with fluid simulation using modified Holstein's equation.

PDP의 저가화, 친환경화, 고화질화는 타 디스플레이와 경쟁을 위해 필수적이고 그로 인한 소재의 개발이 필요하다. 저가화는 부품, 공정에서도 가능하지만 소재에서의 원가가 상당부분을 차지하고 있기 때문에 소재 개발이 중요하며, 친환경화는 현재 유전체에서 많이 사용되고 있는 유해소재를 친환경 소재로 대체함으로써 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 그래서 우리는 현재 PDP에서 전극물질로 사용되어지는 고가의 Ag를 Gu입자에 Ag 박막으로 코팅한 Ag/Cu 전극 powder를 사용하여 저가의 전극 paste를 만들고 스크린 프린터와 노광장비를 사용하여 전극을 형성하였다. 그 후 친환경적인 Pb free 투명유전체를 입히고 전극과의 상호 매칭성을 연구 하였다. 결과적으로 기존 PDP 공정에서 볼 수 없었던 황변현상, 전극착색현상, 전극입자의 터짐성 등 많은 현상이 일어났지만, 기존 공정 온도보다 낮은 온도로 공정한 결과, 이러한 문제들이 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 이로써 공정단가의 저가화와 제품의 친환경을 가면서도 기존과 차이가 제품을 실현할 수 있을 것이다.

The effect of auxiliary electrode on the discharge characteristics in AC PDP with long sustain-gap was investigated. The auxiliary electrode was placed between scan and common electrode. When the pulse was applied to the auxiliary electrode during sustain period, the luminance of Ne + 13%Xe gas-mixture discharge increased and the discharge current decreased. The auxiliary pulse plays a role of improving electron excitation efficiency. When the auxiliary pulse was applied during address period, the address discharge time lag of Ne + 13%Xe gas-mixture could be reduced remarkably.
