In this paper, a cost-effective PDP driving circuit using the transformer network is proposed. Compared with the previous works, the half-bridge type energy recovery circuit recovers the reactive energy not to the capacitor but to the source. A single sustain board architecture removes the blocking switches which are placed on the discharge path in parallel, thus reducing the number of devices. A simple reset circuit generates the same waveforms as the previous approaches. The circuit configuration and modified driving waveforms are compared with the previous works. The validity of the proposed simplified driver is verified through tests using a 6-inch panel.

AC-PDP(Plasma Display Panel)에 사용하는 MgO 보호막의 이차전자 방출계수(${\gamma}$)는 AC-PDP의 방전특성을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이다. MgO 보호막의 이차전자 방출계수는 AC-PDP에 주입하는 기체의 종류에 영향을 받는다. 현재 AC-PDP에는 방전특성의 향상과 VUV 발생을 위하여 He, Ne, Xe 등의 혼합기체가 사용되고 있으며, N 기체를 혼합하여 사용할 경우 더 좋은 발광효율을 얻을 수 있다는 보고가 있다. 이번 실험에서는 (100) 방향으로 배향된 MgO Bulk Crystal과 MgO 보호막의 이차전자방출계수를 ${\gamma}$-FIB 장치로 N2 기체혼합비율에 따라 측정하였다. 혼합기체는 Ne=N2 이원기체를 여러 가지 혼합 비율로 변화시켜가며 실험하였다. MgO 보호막은 실제 21inch 규격의 Panel을 사용하였다.

As the digital TV markets rapidly growing, many manufacturers introduce large size flat screen TV units. There are two different display types available to large size models which are plasma and TFT-LCD. Since both are constructed with thin large panels that are mostly fragile to even moderate mechanical shock inputs. Some large size panels are severely resonated by the acoustic sound generated TV which deteriorates video quality. Recognizing the potential problems of large displays, accurate measurement of the panels is to be an essential task for the reliable design. Measurement of mechanical properties of a thin large crystallized panel such as TFT-LCD display with traditional material testing equipments is challenging. Since TFT-LCDs are constructed with combination of brittle glass panels, polymer sheets, and liquid crystal, their properties are not only anisotropic but also usually non-linear. Accurate measurement of the properties often requires very expensive facilities. Especially when the size of the test sample is as large as 40-inch or wider, direct measurement cost is prohibitive. Even worse, machining of the large TFT-LCD to make a smaller size specimen that could be fit into a material tester is not possible because of liquid crystal leakage. A new method fer the measurement of elastic modulus of large TFT-LCD panel is presented in this article. The suggested method provides a simple, economic, and user-friendly way fer measuring the elastic modulus of large panels with considerable level of accuracy.

The MgO protective layer provides protection from the discharge, lowers the discharge voltage and prolongs the AC-PDP lifetime. We have investigated the characteristics of degradation of MgO protective layer, which correlates to the image-sticking[1] and the lifetime in AC-PDP. The degraded MgO have been changed the surface morphology of MgO. It was found that panel lifetime depended on degradation of MgO protective.

We searched thermal stability of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ using red color filter for display. In the PDP(Plasma Display Panel), the color filter layer is lied normally between front glass and transparent dielectric materials, so it might be needed to study the reaction of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and transparent dielectric materials. The transparent dielectric materials containing ZnO has good transparency. Red colorlayer of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ contacted with dielectric material layer containing ZnO is changed to colorlessness over 500$^{\circ}$C because ZnO defuse ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, the dielectric materials without ZnO, however, maintain red color at the same condition. We suggest that a layer contacting with ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ red color layer has to lie with transparent dielectric materials without ZnO, then the materials containing ZnO is coated over to get color of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ for red color filter

In this study, $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-ZnO$ glass system, which was expected to have similar properties with PbO containing glass system, was selected as a PbO replaceable potential composition because the atomic weight and ionic radius of Bi is similar to those of Pb. Glasses with different modifier/former ratio were prepared by melting the raw ingredient mixtures in $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-ZnO$ system, and the thermal and electrical properties of the sintered samples were examined. The glass transition temperatures and the dielectric constant of the glass pellets were between 350 $^{\circ}C{\sim}$500 $^{\circ}C$ and 15-35, respectively.

Recently the PDP is the most remarkable media for a next generation display device. In this paper, we proposed the PDP dedicated AC-DC converter using quasi resonant method because the PDP has a lot of power dissipation so we need to develope. The proposed converter using one transformer has soft switching and a advantage to lower voltage stress in switch and also is predicted to have high power efficiency, we proposed the principles and theory using the zero voltage switching and verified the validity through a experiment.

We have fabricated 3.5” transparent AM-OLED panel driven by PEALD grown ZnO TFT. The performance of ZnO thin film transistor was improved by adapting top gate structure, protection layer for ZnO from photolithography process, optimizing temperature and plasma power of ZnO growth process. The ZnO-TFT has a mobility of $8.9cm^2/V.s$, a subthreshold swing of 0.95V, and an on/off ratio of $10^7$.

MgO 보호막은 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널(Plasma Display Panel, PDP)의 보호막으로 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 실험에서는 산소 이온 빔 보조 증착(IBAD) 방법으로 형성된 MgO 보호막의 특성을 조사하였다. MgO 증착시 보조산소이온 빔의 에너지를 변화시킴에 따라 MgO 보호막의 특성과 PDP 패널 발광 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 산소 이온 에너지가 300 eV 일때 소자의 방전개시 전압이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 또한 산소 이온빔의 조사에너지에 따라 MgO 박막의 결정성 및 표면조도가 크게 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

We proposed 2-phase regression of power function inside exponential for PDP lifetime data analysis. In introducing our method we discussed the reason why PDP degradation behavior is described by exponential function basically. By applying our method to 50HD and 50FHD PDP lifetime experiment data, we obtained more than 100,000Hr lifetime. From these results, we claim that PDP lifetime is more than 100,000Hr.
