표면방전방식 AC PDP에서 내부 방전으로 생성된 광신호가 상판을 투과할때 발생하는 반사손실을 최적화하기 위하여 기존의 상판구조에서 후막 유전체의 상하면에 굴절율변조 다층박막을 도입하여 굴절율을 정합하는 방법을 사용하였다. 두개의 서로 다른 굴절율을 갖는 납유리를 혼합한후 sputtering 하여 굴절율을 변조시킨 다층 무반사막을 형성한 AC PDP 상판의 광투과율은 평균 85%로 측정되어 기존 방식 AC PDP 상판의 광투과율인 평균 70%에 비하여 약 15%의 광투과율이 개선됨을 보여주었다.

EMI emission characteristics of 42" AC-PDP panel are investigated in this paper. First, EMI emission source was modeled the scan electrode and the sustain electrode to a simple electric and magnetic dipole type radiator. Second, EMI emission source was modeled as reconfigured the scan electrode and the sustain electrode. The primary source of EMI emission was investigated using FEM calculation of the wave impedance and 3 dB beam width. The third. the EMI emission level was estimated using the measured sustain electrode current. Also, EMI emission level of 42" AC-PDP was measured. The results show that the calculated EMI emission level from the simple electric dipole model was shown to agree with that from the corresponding FEM simulation.

The performance of ac plasma display panels (PDP) is influenced strongly by the surface glow discharge characteristics on the MgO thin films. This paper deals with the surface glow discharge characteristics and some physical properties of MgO thin films prepared by reactive RF planar unbalanced magnetron sputtering in connection with ac PDP. The samples prepared with dc bias voltage of -10V showed lower discharge voltage and lower erosion rate byion bombardment than those samples prepared by conventional magnetron sputtering or E-beam evaporation. The main factor that improves the discharge characteristics by bias voltage is considered to be due to the morphology changes or crystal structure of the MgO thin film by ion bombardement during deposition process.

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.

PDP(Plasma Display Panel)는 21세기 디스플레이 시장을 대체할 차세대 디스플레이 장치로서 넓은 시야각, 얇고, 가볍고, 메모리기능이 있다는 여러 가지 장점들을 가지고 있지만 현재 고휘도, 고효율, 저소비전력 등의 문제점들을 해결하여야 한다. 이러한 문제점들의 해결을 위해서는 명확한 미세방전 PDP 플라즈마에 대한 정확한 진단 및 해석이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 미세 면방전 AC-PDP 플라즈마의 기초 변수들 (플라즈마 밀도 & 온도, 플라즈마 뜬 전위, 플라즈마 전위 등의 측정을 통해 고휘도, 고효율 PDP를 위한 최적의 방전환경을 알아내는 데 있다. 일반적으로 전자의 밀도는 방전전류에 비례하는 관계를 보인다. 전류에 대해 방전전압이 일정하다면 전자밀도가 커짐에 따라서 휘도는 포화되며 상대적으로 휘도와 전류의 비로 표시되는 발광효율은 감소하게 된다. 반면 전자밀도가 상당히 작다면 휘도는 전자밀도에 비례하고 효율은 최대값을 보인다. 따라서 미세구조 PDP에서 휘도와 발광효율, 양쪽에 부합하는 최적의 방전환경을 플라즈마 전자밀도와 온도의 측정을 통해서 해석하는 것이 필요하다. 본 실험에서는 방전기체의 종류와 Ne+Xe 방전기체의 조성비에 따른 플라즈마 밀도, 온도의 공간적인 분포특성을 진단하기 위해서 초미세 랑뮈에 탐침(지름: 수 $mu extrm{m}$)을 제작하였다. 제작된 초미세 탐침을 컴퓨터로 제어되는 스텝핑모터를 장착한 정밀 X, Y, Z stage에 부착하여서 수 $\mu\textrm{m}$간격의 탐침 삽입위치에 따라서 미세면방전 AC-PDP의 플라즈마 밀도 및 온도분포 특성을 진단하였다. PDP 방전공간에 초미세 랑뮈에 탐침을 삽입해서 -200~+200V의 바이어스 전압을 가해준다. 음의 바이어스 전압구간에서 이온 포화전류를 얻어내어 여기서 플라즈마 이온 밀도를 측정하고 양의 바이어스 전압구간에서 플라즈마 전자온도를 측정하면 미세면방전 AC-PDP 플라즈마의 기초 진단이 가능하다.

We have investigated the electro-optical characteristics of image sticking in AC PDP. Although Image sticking is one of major factors to determine display quality in AC PDP, so far, it has not being reported why it is occurred and how we can prevent it. In this experiment, we have analyzed the effect of MgO protective layer and phosphor on the image sticking and we have measured the difference of firing voltage, brightness and discharge current between sticking image and normal image in AC PDP. As a result, Phosphor degradation is a more major factor than MgO protective layer and the firing voltage of gas discharge in sticking image is higher than that of normal discharge.

In order to be good display, the ac PDP lifetime should be guaranteed over 30000 hours. Therefore, to satisfy these demands, it is need to find out main factors in ac PDP affecting the lifetime. In this paper, the characteristics of lifetime as a parameter of the MgO deposition rate conditions is investigated. MgO protective layers is fabricated by E-beam. Before measuring the lifetime we have carefully peformed high temperature evacuation and aging procedure, which is essential for providing the initial condition of our experiment. If MgO deposition rate increased, MgO film becomes dense and an adhesive power of MgO film gets better and because occurrence rate of the MgO cluster decreases, lifetime of MgO will be improved. As a result, ac PDP lifetime can be improved due to the improvement of MgO by MgO preparation conditions.

The ac plasma display panel(PDP) is a flat light-emitting gas discharge device. Discharge gases directly take effects to the discharge phenomena of ac PDP. Therefore it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the discharge gases. In this paper, we have studied the effects of discharge gases by voltage transfer curves which show the discharge characteristics of ac PDP and the change of the effective wall capacitance during a discharge which depends on lateral spreading of charge distribution and the strength of discharge. As gas pressure increases, memory margins increases. and the firing voltage of a mixed gas is lower than that of a single gas such as He gas. The minimum sustain voltage and the maximum sustain voltage or firing voltage increases with decrease in the frequency. The effective wall capacitance increases as the discharge strength that is, the gap voltage between discharge electrodes increases.

Plasma display Panels(PDPs) are one of the leading technologies currently under development for large-area high-brightness flat panel displays. However, the luminance and luminous efficiency of at PDPs should be improved. Especially, one of the main factors affecting on the luminance and luminous efficiency of ac PDP may be the phosphor thickness and size of discharge space. In this study, we examined into addressing time, electrical and optical properties as a parameter of the phosphor thickness and the size of discharge space during the display period of ac PDP. It is found out that the optimum phosphor thickness was $50{\mu}m$ and height of discharge space was about $100{\mu}m$.

The degradation characteristics of R, G, B phosphor layers in AC-PDP, which is due to the discharge of plasma, are still unknown. For the successful commercialization of AC-PDP, the degradation of phosphor layers, caused by the plasma discharge must be investigated and improved. In this paper, the degradation properties of phosphor layers in AC-$PDP_S$ are investigated. It takes long time to investigate the degradation in real condition, so that the device for accelerating the degradation is devised. To prove the performance of the device, the visible emission characteristics of phosphor layers and discharge with the environmental temperature are examined. As a result, it is shown that the phosphor layers are easily degraded when the discharge is sustained under high environmental temperature condition. After accelerating the degradation of blue Phosphor layer((Ba,Eu)Mg$AI_10$$O_17$) for 48 hours, its luminance decreases about 38 % and the corresponding color purity deteriorates severely.
