In this study, a stripe type counter electrode discharge cell for PDP was attempted to realize high luminance efficiency and low firing voltage for fine pitch discharge cells. The cells were prepared using electroplated Cu/Ni electrodes coated with glass dielectric layer. The discharge behaviors of such cells were observed. These results indicate that the counter electrode discharge cells have different discharge behavior compared with coplanar cells, which may affect the luminance efficiency of the panel.

In this study, new types of counter electrode discharge cells for PDP were designed. The counter electrode discharge cells were designed to realize long-gap discharge mode, low firing voltage and moderate conductance for evacuation and sealing process of the panel. In order to test the concept of the design, macro discharge cells were prepared and the discharge characteristics were evaluated. The results indicate that discharge behavior may be modified significantly by changing the morphology of discharge cells.

The effects of ambient temperature on the discharge characteristics of Ne-Xe based micro discharge cells for ac-PDP (plasma display panel) have been studied. In ramp voltage driving, which is generally used as a reset method of PDP, two dissimilar modes of strong and weak discharge were found. As the interval between the former sustaining discharge and ramp voltage discharge becomes greater, the probability of a strong discharge increases. This suggests that a sufficient number of priming particles is necessary for initiating weak mode (Townsend discharge). It was discovered that under higher ambient temperatures, weak discharge occurs more frequently. The discharge time lag observed in square pulse driving of single cells becomes surprisingly smaller under higher ambient temperatures for the constant gas number density condition.

This paper proposes an alternating battery discharge method by balancing discharge time of battery cells, which significantly increases battery lifetime. In the conventional method, several battery cells are alternately discharged to make battery recovery effect, and this increases battery lifetime. In this case, there are some overlap intervals where several battery cells are ON to avoid system power cut-off, but this makes several problems due to the voltage differences of battery cells. To mitigate these problems, discharge time of battery cells are controlled to make battery cell voltages as equal as possible. Measurements show that the battery lifetime is exxtended by 19.2% in the proposed method.

This paper presents the effects of the phosphor layer morphology related to the discharge volume on the discharge and radiation characteristics of the Red, Green, and Blue cells in an AC-PDP. As the thickness of the phosphor layer increases and the corresponding discharge volume in the cells decreases, the voltage margin decreases due to an increase in the sustain voltage. In contrast, the IR(Infrared) emission, discharge current, and luminance characteristics remain almost unchanged, regardless of any changes in the phosphor layer morphology.

Although different types of discharge cells exist, in common it is the primary goal for all discharge cells to have lower drive voltages and higher efficiency characteristics. To improve these factors, many studies are conducted that prolong the discharge path inside the discharge cell or change the composition of the working gas. In this paper, the two-dimensional fluid simulation was used to calculate the discharge voltage (firing voltage and sustain voltage) and the change in luminance and luminous efficacy according to the change in gap distance between discharge electrodes. In addition, we looked at changes in various charged particles, exciting particles and VUV particles, and studied the causes of the resulting values.

The plasma display panel is made of many small discharge cells, which consist of a discharge space between the cathode and anode. An electrical discharge occurs in the discharge space filled by neon and xenon gases. The electron temperature is determined from the sparking criterion, which theoretically estimates the electrical breakdown voltage in terms of the xenon mole fraction. The plasma in the cell emits vacuum ultraviolet lights of 147 nm and 173 nm, exciting fluorescent material and converting VUV lights to visible lights. The physical mechanisms of all these processes have been theoretically modeled and experimentally measured. The theory and experimental data agree reasonably well. However, new materials and better configuration of cells are needed to enhance discharge and light emission efficiency and to improve the PDP performance.

To determine the performance of recycled cells for application to residential BESS, cells used over the past 5 years were selected. The basic specifications of the cell used in the test are nominal voltage of 3.7[V], nominal capacity of 2,200[mAh], charging voltage of 4.05[V], continuous discharge current of 1[C](2,200[mA]), continuous charging current of 0.5[C](1,100[mA]). For new cells, the internal resistance was 21.3±1[mΩ], but for recycled cells, the average internal resistance was 25.38[mΩ], an increase of about 19.1[%]. The charge·discharge capacity was approximately 18.9~19.3[%] lower than that of a new cell. Because internal resistance and charge·discharge capacity are closely related to cell aging, cells to be applied to BESS need to use products with an initial internal resistance of 1.5 times or less and a charge·discharge capacity performance of 70[%] or more.

Difference in the structure of AC PDP cells makes the cells have various discharge characteristics. Therefore, a ramp-reset must be adjusted for the stable driving of AC PDP. If any ramp-reset can reduce the difference in discharge characteristics between cells, the conditions of the address discharge could become almost the same. It is very important to understand these to design a good driving waveform. In this paper, we proved the mentioned facts with the change of barrier rib heights.

This paper proposes a battery lifetime enhancement method based on the nonlinear discharge charisteristics called recovery effect. In general, the stored energy in a battery is considered in the prediction of battery lifetime. However, due to the chemical reaction in a battery, more energy can be drawn from a battery when it is not continuously but intermittently discharged, which is called recovery effect. In the proposed method, several battery cells are alternately discharged, and some battery cells rest while maintaining the system power supply. This makes recovery effect of battery cells, which extends battery lifetime. In the experiment, battery lifetime increases about 7% in the alternating discharge of two battery cells, when compared with conventional parallel discharge.
