The Xe plasma flat lamp, considered to be a new eco-friendly LCD backlight, requires a further improvement of its luminance and luminous efficiency. To improve the performance of this type of lamp, it is necessary to understand the effects of the discharge variables on the luminous characteristics of the lamp. In this study, the luminous characteristics of a coplanartype Xe plasma flat lamp with a teeth-type electrode pattern were analyzed while varying the gas composition, gas pressure and input voltage. The effects of the phosphor layer on the discharge and the luminous characteristics of the lamp were also studied. The luminous efficiency of the coplanar-type Xe plasma flat lamp improved as the Xe input ratio and gas pressure increased. Higher luminous efficiency was also obtained when helium (He) was used as a buffer gas and when a phosphor layer was fabricated on the electrode region. In contrast, the luminous efficiency was reduced with increasing the input voltage. It was found that the infrared emissions from the lamp were affected by the Xe excitation rate in the plasma, the Xe gas density, the collisional quenching of excited Xe species by gas molecules, and the recombination rate between the Xe ions and electrons.

To increase the luminance and luminous efficacy in the discharge for alternating current plasma display panel (ac PDP), the increment of Xe contents and long discharge gap are necessary. However, the driving voltage and the cost of driving circuit increases in the high Xe contents and long discharge path condition. In this paper, a long gap ITO hump electrode (LGH) model for discharge cells of ac PDP is evaluated in the various Xe contents($5{\sim}20%$). The discharge voltage of LGH structure is lower about 30V than that of ITa reference structure with same main discharge gap. The LGH structure has lower power consumption and higher luminance than those of reference structure, respectively. Also, the luminous efficacy of LGH structure is higher about 20% than that of ITO reference structure in the 20% Xe contents.

최근 3전극 면방전형 AC-PDP 효율 향상을 위해 높은 Xe 함량비의 방전기체에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있으나, Xe 함량의 증가로 인한 방전전압의 상승 문제는 여전히 해결되지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 높은 Xe 함량을 가지는 저압의 방전기체를 사용하여 기존 고압(400 Torr 이상)의 방전기체와 방전특성을 비교분석하고, 특히 진공자외선 발광특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과 Ne+Xe (30%) 200 Torr 방전기체와 Ne+Xe (15%) 400 Torr 방전기체의 방전 개시전압은 각각 354V 와 389V 로서, 방전 개시전압은 35V 정도 낮아졌으나, 140nm$\sim$200nm 영역의 진공자외선의 방출량은 유사한 경향을 보임으로써 결과적으로 Ne+Xe (30%) 200 Torr 방전기체의 진공자외선 발광효율이 약 30%, 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper had mentioned about CCP light source application for increasing the efficiency of Xe lamp the mercury-free lamp. In order to increase the efficiency of Xe EEFL, we designed and manufactured the lamp used by mixture gas of Xe, Ne and He. Also, we have analyzed the electrical and optical properties with the firing voltage, sustain voltage, paschen's curve, wall charge, and capacitance. As a result, the firing voltage decreased by increasing the ration of mixture gas. and, It is owing to include the gas with high ionization energy. The firing voltage decreased in condition happening the penning effect, Because the ion of metastable state created from penning effect, Which can encourage the ionization phenomena. Also, the wavelength of 467.12 is increase. because of the energy transition in the wavelength of 147 nm. therefore, we can know about the affection of phosphor with UV emission properties. Through an experiment, Xe 100 % and Xe 75 % confirmed same spectrum properties by each mixture gas ratio. In the case of Xe 50 %, spectrum properties appeared Xe discharge and Ne-He discharge. That analyzed an electrical and optical properties. Therefore, confirmed that is excellent because properties of firing voltage, wall charge, capacitance in Xe 50 %, Ne : He = 9 : 1. We offered parameter in inverter manufacture and lamp manufacture by electrical and optical properties.

We have compared 2-D and 3-D fluid simulation results of alternating current plasma display panel (AC-PDP) cell with experimentally measured two kinds of excited Xe species $Xe^{\ast}(^{3}P_{1})$ and $Xe^{\ast}(^{3}P_{2})$ characteristics. Although direct experimental access and diagnostics of the discharge in a PDP cell is problematic due to the small cell size, some of experimental technologies have made it possible to diagnose the behavior of excited Xe species [1, 2]. The simulation shows the similar characteristics to the experimental results in the excited Xe species density distribution and the number of excited Xe atoms in anode and cathode region. In certain cases, we obtained the arch-shaped discharge path between two sustain electrodes due to the additional pulse applied to address electrode analogous to experiment. This long path discharge induced higher luminous and discharge efficiency compared to the standard case.

The discharge characteristics of He-Ne-Xe gas mixture with the variation of Xe content are investigated through the numerical simulation. VUV efficacy in the gas condition of low Xe content increases due to more excitation and the case of high Xe content shows the improvement of VUV efficacy with the increase of He content but decreased VUV efficacy after tthe He mixing ratio of He and Ne is 0.5 due to frequent ionization.

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.

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.

In this paper, high Xe(Ne+Xe 10%, 20%, 30%) AC-PDP's discharge characteristics according to aging time were studied. The static margin, Vt close curve, discharge time lag was measured for experiments. According to increase of Xe partial pressure, the static margin and luminance was increased. As the result of analysis for misfiring probability, the misfiring is frequently occurred in accordance with increasing of aging time. To improve misfiring, we proposed 3Reset waveform and achieved misfiring probability which was improved.
