Unstable sustain discharges can occur at the bottom cells of the panel at high temperature. To solve this problem, the wall charge variation during an address period was investigated. A test panel of 7.5 inch XGA level was used and one green cell was measured. In order to realize operating condition equal to that of the bottom cells of 50 inch panel, the addressing stress pulses are applied. It seems that the resultant wall charge loss during address period increased with increase of stress time, temperature, pressure and Xe %. Wall charge loss increases with potential difference between scan electrode and address electrode, therefore wall charge loss can be minimized by the increase of scan voltage during address period.

In this paper we suggest new criteria for the classification of the electrode gap between common and scan electrodes. The electrode gap is categorized as a short, middle, and long gap according to the criteria. Among these structures, we focus on the erase waveform of a mid-gap structure. we report an unstable discharge arising from the erase ramp period in a mid-gap structure. Based on the Vt close curve, we analyze the unstable discharge at various conditions. Our analysis reveals that the unstable discharge is ignited between surface electrodes and caused by un-erased wall charges accumulated on the outer edges of electrodes. By reducing the voltage level of the last sustain pulse, the problem is solved.

In the present study, computations for flow fields inside the CDI unit cells with electrodes and spacers have been made to evaluate their performance. Three types of unit cells that include a planar type, a serpentine channel type, and a spiral wound type were considered and their flow characteristics were compared. From the computational results, it is found that the serpentine channel type has a large flow resistance and can not guarantee the outflow flux for industrial applications. On the other hand, the planar type can sustain a large enough outflow flux but it's efficiency is low for the electrode-use because of the non-uniform velocity distribution inside the cell and dead zones in every corner. Finally, The spiral wound type has not only a large outflow flux as much as the planar type has, but also a high efficiency for the electrode-use because of uniform velocity distribution. From this comparison, we can expect that the spiral wound type of CDI unit cell would have a high performance deionization capability.

Influence of frequency and duty ratio on electro-optical characteristics are experimentally investigated in surface AC plasma display panels(AC-PDPs) by using the VDS(Versitile Driving Simulator)., in which electrode gap and width are 100 ${\mu}m$ and 260 ${\mu}m$, respectively. The filling gas is Ne-Xe gas mixture, and total pressure 400 Torr. It is found that the response time gets to be fast from 450 ns to 150 ns as pulse-off time of the sustain pulse decreases from 2 ${\mu}s$ to 0.2 ${\mu}s$. Also it is found that the IR(Infra Red) intensity and the luminous decreases as pulse-off time of the sustain pulse increases from 0.2 ${\mu}s$ to 2 ${\mu}s$.

The relationship between driving voltage and the amount of wall charge in the address period of surface discharge type AC Plasma Display Panel has been investigated. The amount of wall charge on each electrode is obtained simultaneously from the current profiles after applying only one addressing discharge pulse. The wall charge $Q_y$ on the scan electrode Y is almost the sum of $Q_x$ on the address electrode X and $Q_z$ on the sustain electrode Z. The $Q_y$ increased with the driving voltage regardless of the kind of electrode, whereas the addressing $T_d$ decreased. The $Q_x$ and $Q_y$ are increased considerably by blocking voltage $V_z$, whereas $Q_x$ is decreased. The $V_z$ dependence of $Q_x$ $Q_y$ and ${\varrho}_z$ in addressing discharge was $-13{\times}10^{-2}$ (pc/$V_z$), and $60{\times}10^{-2}$ ($pc/V_z$) and $70{\times}10^{-2}(pc/V_z)$, respectively.

Influences of sustain voltage on wall charges and wall voltages are experimentally investigated in surface AC plasma display panels(AC-PDPs), in which electrode gap and width are $80\;{\mu}m$ and $270\;{\mu}m$, respectively. The filling gas is Ne-Xe gas mixture, and total pressures 300 Torr. Also it is found that the more amount of Xe mixing ratio makes the less wall charge and voltage for sustain voltage ranged from 140 V to 222 V. The response time has been delayed by adding a small amount of Xe to Ne in comparison with that without Xe. It is also found that the wall charge and voltage are reduced by adding a small amount of Xe to Ne in comparison with those without Xe.

The high efficacy concept, featuring in this study an auxiliary electrode and a 200 ${\mu}m$ coplanar gap, is applied to AC-PDPs with a stripe - type and a closed - type barrier rib, respectively. The roles of the pulses applied to the auxiliary electrode create additional excitation during the sustain period and reduce a discharge current that flows into the display cells. The efficacy of the proposed panel with the closed barrier rib has maximum values when the auxiliary pulse voltage is 50 volts and 80 volts for the Ne+4%Xe and Ne+20%Xe gas-mixtures, respectively. The maximum luminous efficacy is more than 10 lm/W in terms of the measurement of the discharges in VGA resolution ($540{\mu}m{\times}720{\mu}m$) and the green cells.

A new lateral trench LTEIGBT with p+ diverter was proposed to suppress latch-up of LTIGBT The p+ diverter was placed between the anode and cathode electrode. The latch-up of LTEICBT with a p+ diverter was effectively suppressed to sustain an anode voltage of 8.7V and a current density of 1453A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ while in the conventional LTIGBT, latch-up occured at an anode current density of 540A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. In addition, the forward blocking voltage of the proposed LTEIGBT with a p+ diverter was about 140V. The forward blocking voltage of the conventional LTIGBT of the same size was no more than 105V, We fabricated the proposed LTEIGBT with a p+ diverter after the device and process simulation was finished. When the gate voltage is applied 12V, the forward conduction currents of the proposed LTEIGBT with a p+ diverter and the conventional LIGBT are 90㎃ and 70㎃, respectively, at the same breakdown voltage of 150V.

The effects of an auxiliary address pulse driving scheme, in which an auxiliary short pulse was applied to the address electrode during a sustain-period, was examined under the various image patterns of the 42-inch WVGA ac-PDP. When the auxiliary address pulse driving scheme was applied, the luminance of the red, green and blue cells were measured respectively. The luminance, luminous efficiency and current were measured under the full-white pattern of the 42-inch ac-PDP. As a result, the luminance of blue cell was improved approximately by 17 %, whereas the luminous efficiency of the full-white pattern was improved approximately by 34 % without a misfiring discharge in comparison with conventional driving scheme.
