We measured 3-dimensional images of the light emitted from plasma display panel(PDP) by using newly proposed scanned point detecting method(SPDM). The SPDM has the point detector with pinhole. The light emitted from PDP cell at the in-focus position can pass through the pinhole and be collected by detector. On the contrary, the light emitted from PDP cell at the out-of-focus positions is focused on the front of or the behind of the pinhole. We could analyze the characteristic of 3-dimensional light emission distribution by SPDM. From 3-dimensional measurement of 828nm, we found that the efficient design of PDP cell, the importance of opening ratio, and the relations between BUS electrode position and discharge intensity are obtained.

A cost-effective magnetic-coupled AC-PDP sustain driver with low switching loss is proposed. The transformer reduces current stress in the energy recovery switches which affects circuit cost and reliability. The turns-ratio can be used to adjust the sustain pulse slopes which affect gas discharge uniformity. Dividing the recovery paths prevents abrupt changes in the output capacitance and thereby switching losses of the recovery switches is reduced. In addition, the proposed circuit has a more simple structure because it does not use the recovery path diodes which also afford a large recovery current. By reducing the current stress and device count in the energy recovery circuit, the proposed driver may have decreased circuit cost and improved circuit reliability.

The principal problems in development of dielectric paste materials for PDP(plasma display panel)are PbO free paste and low melting temperature. We prepared PbO free paste from glasses in the system BaO-ZnO-$B_2O_3-V_2O_5$. DTA, XRD and SEM were used to study and characterize BaO-ZnO-$B_2O_3-V_2O_5$ glasses. PbO free paste developed at this paper has thermal expansion of $74{\times}10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$, DTA transformation point of $460^{\circ}C$, and firing condition of $560^{\circ}C$, 10min.

Al doped Zinc Oxide(ZnO:Al) films, which is widely used as a transparent conductor in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell, plasma display panel, thermal heater, and other sensors, were prepared by using the capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering method. The influence of the substrate temperature, working gas pressure and deposition time on the electrical, optical and morphological properties were investigated experimentally. ZnO:Al films with the optimum growth conditions of working gas pressure and substrate temperature showed resistivity of $9.64{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}$-cm and transmittance of 90.02% for a film 860nm thick in the wavelength range of the visible spectrum.

This paper presents the results of the power system analysis and power loss breakdown peformed on a 40-inch ac plasma display panel (PDP) TV set. The architecture and function of power system is reviewed. The power flow inside the PDP TV set is presented, and the distribution of the power loss is analyzed. It was found that the sustain driver circuit and power factor correction (PFC) circuit are the two major sources of the power loss. The results of this paper can be used as a preliminary guideline to improve the architecture and efficiency of power systems for ac PDP application systems.

본 연구에서는 새로 고안된 NOT-AND 논리에 의한 방전 논리 gate PDP의 입력 DC 방전특성에 대해 고찰하고 동작특성을 해석하였다. 새로 고안된 방전 AND gate는 방전 경로에 따른 전극사이의 전위차의 변화로 AND 출력을 유도한다. 이러한 방전 논리 소자를 가지는 PDP에서는 직류방전이 논리게이트의 역할을 한다. 실험결과 이 DC 입력방전을 위해 priming 방전을 인가한 경우가 인가하지 않은 경우에 비해 방전지연시간이 1/3로 단축되며 방전개시전압은 1/2로 감소하였다. 또한 이 priming 방전은 방전종료후 $30{\mu}s$ 정도까지 영향을 미친다. 그리고 이 직류방전의 시간적, 위치적 방전특성을 측정한 결과, 방전에 따른 시간적 거리의 변화는 상당한 영향을 미치나 인접 전극들의 위치적인 영향은 거의 미미하다는 결론을 얻었다.

어드레스-표시 동시 구동방식에 의한 고속 구동기술을 개발하기 위하여 PDP의 어드레스 기간에 인가하는 주사 펄스의 폭에 의한 방전특성을 실험용 PDP를 사용하여 실험하였다. 본 연구에서는 주사 펄스의 폭과 주사 펄스와 이어서 인가되는 첫 번째 서스테인 펄스 사이의 시간간격을 변화시키면서 어드레스 방전특성을 측정하였다. 실험결과 주사펄스의 폭이 $1.3{\mu}s$ 이하로 좁아지면 어드레스 방전의 벽전하 대신에 공간전하로 서스테인 방전이 유도되므로 각 전극에 인가하는 펄스의 전압조건이 달라져야 한다는 것을 알았다 또한 주사 펄스폭이 좁아지면 어드레스 방전개시전압이 크게 상승함을 알았다. 실험결과 12개의 서브필드를 가지며 1080개의 주사선을 가지는 full-HDTV급 PDP를 구동시킬 수 있는 조건인 $0.7{\mu}s$ 수준의 주사 펄스폭 이상에서 약 10V의 일정한 서스테인 구동마진이 얻어짐을 알았다.

We prepared indium zinc oxide (IZO) thin film for cathode electrode such as an application of flat panel display by using the facing targets sputtering (FTS) method at room temperature. The effects of input power and film thickness were investigated with respect to physical and optical properties of films such as deposition rate, electrical properties, microstructure and transmittance. We could obtain properties of IZO thin films of under $10^{-3}\;{\Omega}-cm$ in resistivity and the thin films of over 90% in transmittance. Also, we obtained IZO thin films which were an amorphous structure.
