This paper describes a new method to predict the load current of a dc-dc converter. The load current is calculated using the video information of the PDP. The output capacitance of the dc-dc converter can be reduced by utilizing the predicted load current, which results in a cost reduction of the power system in the PDP.

Various approaches were undertaken by major PDP makers in order to improve the luminous efficacy of the plasma discharge cells. There have been many reports that state that using a high Xe content PDP is one of the most promising key technologies available to improve the luminous efficacy. In the case of the higher Xe content panel, the higher address and sustain voltage were needed to drive the panel under the same reset condition. In this study, a variety of Xe content panels were investigated in order to examine wall voltage transfer behaviors. The transferred wall voltage status after addressing discharge at the same driving condition was analyzed by comparing Vt close curve of high and low Xe content panels. Through this analysis of Vt close curve difference, the driving waveform of a high Xe panel was quantitatively adjusted Under the same address voltage condition, results showed that the amount of the transferred wall voltage and Vt close curve after addressing discharge was matched for the first sustain discharge. Taking these results into consideration, we conclude that the driving waveform for different Xe content panels could be designed for the desired addressing discharge condition and the wall voltage state of the cell could be quantitatively controlled and measured through these approaches.

Over 5lm/W white luminous efficacy was obtained by 11" color test panel with narrowed discharge electrodes combined with high Xe partial pressure. By using optical spectroscopic methods, it was suggested that the electron heating efficiency is the most significant to improve the plasma efficiency in our experimental conditions.

We report the effect of the particle size (D50) and PSD (Particle Size Distribution) of glass frit on the transparency of transparent dielectric layer of PDP. The milling efficiency of wet milling with water was the best among the dry milling, wet milling with IPA and wet milling with water. The transparency increased with the reduction of particle size of glass frit as the milling time increased. Also the transparency changed by the PSD of glass frit. Glass frits of broad PSD showed high transparency compared with the glass frits of sharp PSD.

We have studied that the secondary electron emission characteristics of functional layers which have different kinds of MgO sub-micrometer size powder in AC-PDP. We used cathodoluminescence(CL) and gamma focused ion beam (${\gamma}$-FIB) system for measurement of secondary electron emission characteristics. Also we made 6 inch test panel which applied functional layers for evaluation of discharge characteristics.

A modified driving waveform is proposed to improve the address discharge characteristics using wall charge on the common electrodes in plasma display panel. In the driving scheme of plasma display, after a reset period, the negative charge are accumulated on two front electrodes and positive wall charge are accumulated on the address electrode. As the address discharge during an address period is produced when the scan and address pulses are applied at the same time, negative charge on the scan electrodes and positive charge on the address electrodes are mainly used. On the other hand, as the voltage are only maintained without applying the waveform during an address period on the common electrodes, the wall charge is not used on the common electrodes. In this paper, the address discharge characteristics are investigated with changing pulse applying time and applied voltage amplitude on the common electrodes and consequently the producing time of an address discharge are shortened about 200 ns compared with the conventional driving waveform.

The magnesium oxide (MgO) protective layer plays an important role in plasma display panels (PDPs). Our previous work demonstrated that the properties of MgO thin film could be improved, which were deposited by Ion-Beam-Assisted Deposition (IBAD). However arc discharge always occurs during the IBAD process. To avoid this problem, Oxygen-Neutral-Beam-Assisted Deposition (NBAD) is used to deposit MgO thin films in this paper. The energy of the oxygen neutral beam was used as the parameter to control the deposition. The experimental results showed that the oxygen neutral beam energy was effective in determining in structural and discharge characteristics. The lowest firing inception voltage, the highest brightness and the highest luminous efficiency were obtained when the MgO thin film was deposited with an oxygen neutral beam energy of 300eV. The surface morphology of MgO thin film was also analyzed using AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy).

Barrier rib for the plasma display panel(PDP) was made by photolithographic process utilizing photosensitive barrier rib paste. The barrier rib paste was prepared by first dissolving ethylcellulose(binder polymer) in butyl carbitol(BC)/butyl carbitol acetate(BCA) =30/70 wt % mixture solvent at 15 wt % concentration. To this solution a mixture of functional monomers consisted of tripropyleneglycol diacrylate/ pentaerythritol triacrylate = 50/50 wt %, Irgacur 651 photoinitiator, and barrier rib powder were added and then the whole mixture was mixed in the three roll mill for 2 hr. The effect of component and concentration of photosensitive barrier paste on the photolithographic process was studied. After optimization of the paste formulation and photolithographic process, barrier rib could be obtained with good resolution up to $100{\mu}m$ height.

The effect of address discharge characteristics by selective reset method is investigated to prevent the weakness of address discharge in the middle of a TV-field without increase of the black luminance. To reduce black luminance in AC PDP usually, the first subfield during one TV frame adopted the conventional rising ramp-reset waveform, whereas the other subfields adopted the subsidiary reset waveform without rising ramp type. As the wall charge for the address discharge was accumulated by only the rising ramp waveform during the first reset period, the wall charge on three electrodes was disappeared as time passed and the address discharge would be weakened in the rear subfields. To prevent a reduction of the address discharge characteristics without decrease the black luminance, the modified rising ramp reset waveform was adopted only in the sixth subfield. As a result, a modified driving method could improve the address discharge characteristics compared with selective reset driving scheme with almost the same black luminance.

We proposed the new driving waveform which has changed the waveform of sustain division to improve luminous efficiency in plasma display panel. This sustain waveform is to add the ramp to the rectangular waveform, resulting in self-erasing discharge in the falling edge region. The proposed waveform has improved the luminous efficiency of 30％ even in low driving frequency(25kHz), whereas the conventional driving waveform using the self-erasing discharge can improve the luminous efficiency only in high driving frequency( >150kHz). Front the results of this paper, we hope that the variety study on frequency and duty ratio, ramp waveform will increase the luminous efficiency.
