Doosan DND, OLED manufacturing equipment maker, has developed the largest deposition system to produce $730{\times}920mm$ size AMOLED devices for the first time in the world. It is necessary for producing 40" AMOLED panels to develop the large-scaled vacuum technologies including ICP plasma, stretching glass chuck, organic deposition, metal deposition and hybrid encapsulation processes.

The plasma display panels with newly designed sustain electrode structure have been proposed and its characteristics hate been measured. One has a enlarged discharge path, and the other has a concentration point of electric potential. These structures have a high luminance and luminous efficiency.

Due to recent technology advances, needs for flat panel displays, plasma display panels(PDPs) whose advantages are simple structure, high resolution, wide viewing angle is increasingly expected to be the first flat panel of large screen, walt hanging TVs. But the luminance and luminous efficiency of color PDP is net up to the level of a CRT. So, New electrode shape which is different from the conventional electrode has to propose to improve the luminance and luminous efficiency. In this paper, we suggested new shaped electrodes. In new shaped electrode, the discharge current was reduced compared with conventional type by reducing the unnecessary diffusion loss near the barrier rib. However, the luminance was nearly the same as conventional type. So, the luminous efficiency improved about 35%.

As an alternative to traditional life testing, degradation tests can be effective in assessing product reliability when measurements of degradation leading to failure can be observed. This article proposes a new model to describe the nonlinear degradation paths caused by nano-contamination for plasma display panels (PDPs) : a bi-exponential model with random coefficients. A sequential likelihood ratio test was executed to select random effects in the nonlinear model. Analysis results indicate that the reliability estimation can be improved substantially by using the nonlinear random-coefficients model to incorporate both inherent degradation characteristics and contamination effects of impurities for PDP degradation paths.

In a surface type ac PDP having $200{\mu}m$ gap between the surface electrodes, the luminous efficacy has a reciprocal dependence on the sustaining frequency. The discharge current flowing to the address electrodes are measured to investigate the phenomena and spectral intensity from visible light to infra red is measured to verify phosphor saturation with the frequency. Experiments show the discharge between the address and surface electrodes deteriorates the efficacy in high sustaining frequencies. Pulse width modulation is introduced to improve the efficacy. In optimum conditions, we obtained 1.99lm/w and 1.79lm/w at 200kHz and 250kHz, respectively.

The performance of ac plasma display panels (PDP) is influenced strongly by the surface glow discharge characteristics on the MgO thin films. This paper deals with the surface glow discharge characteristics and some physical properties of MgO thin films prepared by reactive RF planar unbalanced magnetron sputtering in connection with ac PDP. The samples prepared with dc bias voltage of -10V showed lower discharge voltage and lower erosion rate byion bombardment than those samples prepared by conventional magnetron sputtering or E-beam evaporation. The main factor that improves the discharge characteristics by bias voltage is considered to be due to the morphology changes or crystal structure of the MgO thin film by ion bombardement during deposition process.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film is a transparent electrode, which is widely applied to solar battery, illuminators, optical switches, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), and organic light emitting displays (OLEDs) due to its easy formation on glass substrates, goof optical transmittance, and good conductivity. ITO thin film is generally fabricated by various methods such as spray, CVD, evaporation, electron gun deposition, direct current electroplating, high frequency sputtering, and reactive DC sputtering. However, some problems such as peaks, bumps, large particles, and pin-holes on the surface of ITO thin film were reported, which caused the destruction of color quality, the reduction of device life time, and short-circuit. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processis one of the suitable solutions which could solve the problems.

본 연구에서는 sustain 펄스의 개수와 폭의 변화에 따른 sustain 방전의 휘도특성을 측정하였다. 실험을 위하여 PDP 구동실험장치에 사용하는 디지털 시스템과 고전압 펄스 driver 회로부를 개발하였다. 실험결과, 1TV-field 동안 인가되는 sustain 펄스의 개수가 증가할수록 휘도는 완만한 포화곡선을 나타내며 증가하였고 펄스의 폭이 좁아질수록 휘도가 증가하였다. 그리고 펄스폭에 대한 휘도의 증가 정도는 펄스의 개수가 증가할수록 커졌다.

MgO thin films were deposited on soda lime glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering using a MgO target at various oxygen flow ratios in order to probe the relationship between MgO film properties and discharge characteristics. MgO films have a tendency to form microstructures with a preferred growth orientation of (200) with increasing oxygen flo ration up to 0.1 $O_2$/(Ar+$O_2$). MgO film obtained at 0.1[$O_2$/(Ar+$O_2$)] was found to be fully stoichiometric. The stoichiometric MgO film was observed to have relatively very clean surface and grains of large size and contain almost no hydroxyl group. The AC PDP with fully stoichiometric MgO film showed lower firing and sustain voltages than those with magnesium-rich or oxygen-rich MgO films, being largely attributed to the larger grain size and the minimized hydroxyl group.

The barrier rib on plasma display panel (PDP) is a typical 3D-patterned thick film with thickness of 120 ㎛ and it is hard to measure its dielectric constant in this state of the product. Because the porosity of ceramic thick film influenced the mechanical and dielectric characteristics, it was expected that there was the relationship between two properties. Therefore, the correlation analysis between porosity, hardness and dielectric constant of the barrier rib was studied and the exponential curve between porosity and hardness, and the quadratic curve between porosity and dielectric constant were drawn. The dielectric constant was well related to hardness by K400kHz = 0.5672 + 5.695 ln(Hv). The hardness was measured at five points on two real panels which sintered by two types of profiles and then dielectric constants and deviation were estimated by the above equation.
