Conventional backlight for liquid crystal display (LCD) uses mercury which leads to environmental pollution. In this study, characteristics of AC coplanar type mercury-free plasma flat lamp have been studied. Pollution-free Xe-He is adopted as a discharge gas system. Since the Xe gas has a lower efficiency in generating vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) than mercury, the improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency in the Xe gas system is very important. The electrode, dielectric, and phosphor layers constituting lamp are formed on the bottom glass by the screen printing method. The effects of pulse shape, on-time, and pulse frequency on the luminance and luminous efficiency have been examined. For Xe(5%)-He gas, the lamp exhibits higher efficiency with sharper pulse shape, higher peak voltage, and shorter pulse on-time (up to 2 $\mu\textrm{s}$). Higher efficiency and lower consumption of power were obtained at 30 kHz than at 60 kHz. The collision of ion to bottom electrodes is a dominant factor to raise the lamp temperature. Therefore the high voltage and low current discharge system is necessary for reduction of the lamp temperature as well as for enhancement of the luminous efficiency.

We analyzed the effect of cell resolution on the luminous efficacy through three-dimensional numerical simulation to understand the inherent discharge mechanism change in the plasma display panel. As the resolution increases from VGA to Full HD, the luminous efficacy decreases. With higher Xe content, VUV generation efficacy of Full HD becomes much lower than those of VGA or XGA cells, due to the increased plasma loss and lower electron heating. However a long electrode gap $140{\mu}m$ in Full HD cell with Ne-Xe [20%] results in the high luminous efficacy comparable to that of the XGA cell with $60{\mu}m$ gap. When comparing the effects of Xe content variation on the luminous efficacy of two different subpixel types, i. e., SDE (Segmented electrode in Delta color arrayed, Enclosed subpixel) [1] and conventional stripe barrier type in the XGA and Full HD cells, the luminous efficacy of SDE structure shows higher improvement in Full HD resolution compared with that of conventional type XGA cell, whose cause is identified as the reduced plasma loss.

Recently color AC PDP(plasma display panel) technology is rapidly improved. However, the luminous efficiency improvement is a key issue for making plasma display into a large-area flat display. In this paper, we suggest a new concentration of Xe in He-Ne-Xe gas mixture in order to achieve a high luminous efficiency of color AC PDPs. We calculated the densities of 25 species as a function of the time zero dimensional simulation using CVODE solver and we compared the results of zero dimensional simulation with a measurement of photo wave brightness and luminous efficiency, in order to find the optimum mixing condition of He-Ne-Xe gas in color plasma display panel. We obtained a high discharge speed under Xe mixing ratio of 1% by simulation and confirmed that through measuring photo wave.

플라즈마 디스플레이 패널은 양극과 음극사이의 방전공간을 가진 많은 방전 셀로 구성되어 있다. 네온과 제논가스로 채워진 이 방전공간에서 전기방전이 일어난다. 전자온도가 방전조건에 의하여 정해지며 이온도를 통하여 제논의 함량에 따른 방전전압을 이론적으로 계산할 수 있다. 방전 셀 내의 플라즈마가 147 nm와 173 nm의 극자외선을 방출하고 이 자외선들은 형광물질을 여기하여 가시광선을 방출한다. 이러한 모든 과정에 대한 물리적인 메커니즘의 모델을 만들고 실험에서 측정된 데이터와 모델이 예시하는 결과를 비교한다. 실험 데이터는 이론 결과와 비교적 잘 일치하는 것을 관찰할 수 있다. PDP의 방전과 동작을 더욱 개선하기 위하여 새로운 물질이 필요하고 더 좋은 셀 구조가 요구된다.

면방전 구조의 AC-PDP는 페닝 혼합 기체 중에서 Xe 플라스마에서 발생되는 VUV (Vacuum Ultra Violet) 에 의해 들뜬 형광체로부터 가시광이 발생된다. Xe 여기종은 828 nm의 공명준위를 거쳐 147 nm의 진공자외선을 방출하며 823 nm의 준안정준위에서 분자선을 거쳐 173 nm의 진공 자외선을 낸다. 이러한 Xe 여기종의 밀도를 측정하기 위해서는 828 nm와 823 nm의 레이저를 외부에서 인위적으로 조사하여 측정하면 IR (Infrared)의 흡수전과 흡수후의 빛의 세기로 Xe 여기종의 밀도 및 분포를 계산할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 823 nm에 초점을 두었으며 LAS (Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) 기법을 통하여 He-Ne-Xe(15%, 20 %, 30%) 400Torr의 3종 기체의 Xe 함량에 따른 시공간의 Xe($1s_5$) 여기종 밀도 분포와 방전효율을 관측하였다. 최근 3전극 면방전형 AC-PDP 효율 향상을 위해 3종 기체의 Xe함량비의 방전기체에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이러한 기초 데이터는 혼합기체 조건에 따른 면방전 구조의 3전극 AC-PDP의 발광 효율을 개선하는 데 유용한 자료로 활용될 것이다.

Ammonium ion (${NH_4}^+$) was suggested as the origin of interstellar $6.85\;{\mu}m$ band. Early study, in which organic molecule and water ice film mixtures were photolyzed so that organic acids could be produced, explained the generation of ${NH_4}^+$ from the reaction of photogenerated organic acid and ammonia ($NH_3$). However, the observed abundance of organic acids or their counter-anions are not so high in interstellar ice and not enough to protonate $NH_3$ into ${NH_4}^+$ in the observed level. Because of the shortage in photogenerated organic acids, the candidate of acid which protonates $NH_3$ should be modified. Here, we prepare $NH_3/H_2O$ binary mixtures and photolyze them with vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, peak at 10.6 and 10.0 eV). We find the ammonium ion (${NH_4}^+$) from photolyzed mixture by using low energy sputtering (LES) and reflection absorption IR spectroscopy (RAIRS). As a hydronium ($H_3O^+$) can be produced by UV irradiation and protonate bases, ${NH_4}^+$ may be formed from the reaction of photogenerated $H_3O^+$ and $NH_3$. We show the generation of ${NH_4}^+$ without any kind of organic molecules or acids, and it may explain the relatively high abundance of ${NH_4}^+$ compared to the counter-anions or organic acids in interstellar ice.

A spherical $BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ :Eu phosphor has been synthesized by a multi-step precipitation route. In order to successfully synthesize the phosphor with spherical shape, the hydrated-alumina particles should be controlled for spherical shape. In this process, the hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) was used as a dispersing reagent. This reagent plays an important role in that the particles were controlled to have the uniform size of sub-micron. The final product prepared by the multi-step precipitation method maintained spherical shape with uniform size of 0.4$\mu\textrm{m}$. It can be seen in X-ray diffraction patterns, formation of the single phase of $BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ :Eu phosphor prepared by the multi-step precipitation method at $1350^{\circ}C$. Also, the emission spectra of spherical $BaMgAl_{O}$ $10_{17}$ :Eu phosphor in the present case was compared with those of commercially-available blue phosphor under VUV (Vacuum Ultra Violet) excitation. The luminescence process of the $BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ :Eu phosphor is characterized by the $4f^{6}$$5d^1$longrightarrow4f$^{7}$ transition (blue) of the $Eu^{2+}$ ion acting as an activating center and the maximum luminescence intensity was obtained by reduction treatment at 145$0^{\circ}C$.

$Y_{2-x}Gd_xO_3:Eu$, phosphors for plasma display panel(PDP), were prepared by Pechini method which use yttriun chloride, gadolinium chloride, and europium oxide as starting materials. This method is a different way to the synthesis of europium(Eu)-doped phosphors, and it consists of the formation of a polymeric resin obtained by polyesterification between metal chelate compounds and a polyfunctional alcohol. This needs lower temperature than solid-state synthetic method. The prepared $Y_{2-x}Gd_xO_3:Eu$ phosphor particles had spherical shape and coherence. The luminescence intensity of $Y_{2-x}Gd_xO_3:Eu$ phosphor particles increased according to the increase of gadolinium(Gd) content(to 0.8mol%), and $Y_{1.2}Gd_{0.8}O_3:Eu$ phosphors had the highest luminescence intensity under vacuum ultra violet(VUV) excitation. The optimum concentration of Eu in the phosphor and optimum calcination temperature was 3wt% and $1100^{\circ}C$. The prepared phosphors were consist of particle, and its size was between 100nm and 150nm. Among the different polyfunctional alcohols, diethylene glycol(DEG) improved the luminescence intensities of phosphors more than other additives. The Pechini method proved that it is demonstrated to be suitable for the synthesis of phosphors used in PDP.

It is known that $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}:Eu^{2+}(BAM)$ phosphors currently used have a serious thermal degradation problem. We screened $SrO-B_2O_3-P_2O_5$ system by a solution combinatorial chemistry technique in an attempt to search for a thermally stable blue phosphor for PDPs. A Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) was also obtained using an artificial neural network trained by the result fiom the combinatorial screening. As a result, we proposed a promising composition range in the $SrO-B_2O_3-P_2O_5$ ternary library. These compositions crystallized into a single major phase, $Sr_6BP_5O_{20}:Eu^{2+}$. The structure of $Sr_6BP_5O_{20}:Eu^{2+}$ was clearly determined by ab initio calculation. The luminescent efficiency of $Sr_6BP_5O_{20}:Eu^{2+}$ was 2.8 times of BAM at Vacuum Ultra Violet (VUV) excitation. The thermal stability was also good but the CIE color chromaticity was slightly poor.
