The plasma display panel with the electrode structure of new discharge AND gate and its driving scheme were proposed and the driving system for experiment was developed. And operation of these discharge AND gate was verified by the experiment of PDP addressing with floating electrode. This discharge AND gate operated by the operation speed of 8$mutextrm{s}$ and the operation margin of 100V. The address operation margin of 10V also obtained. It was known to be able to control the discharge of the adjoining scan electrode accurately. Because proposed method uses the DC discharge the control of the discharge can be facilitated compared with conventional discharge AND gate. Moreover, because the input discharge and the output discharge of discharge gate are separate, the display discharge can be prevented from passing discharge gates. Therefore, it is possible to apply to the large screen plasma display panel. And the decrease of contrast ratio does not occur because the scanning discharge does not influence the picture quality.

A new mercury-free flat fluorescent lamp with a single cell having dimension 2.2inches across the diagonal, had been developed which shows a wide, stable operating voltage margin, high luminance and luminous efficacy by adopting the bipolar pulse drive scheme. In this paper, the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a 32inch sized panel across the diagonal by a simple repetition of the single cells. A driving scheme is proposed for a 2-bit areal selective dimming using dual auxiliary electrodes and bipolar drive scheme.

A Highly efficient Mercury-free Flat Fluorescent Lamp (MFFL) with dielectric barrier Xe gas discharge was developed for an alternative of conventional line-type Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFLs) which shows a wide voltage margin and a stable discharge operation for diffuse glow discharge with an application of a auxiliary electrode. Electro-optic characteristics of the MFFL were examined through the changes in ambient temperature, total pressure and Xe partial pressure. the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a large sized lamp by a simple repetition of the single cells, and a new driving scheme is proposed for an adaptive brightness control using dual auxiliary electrodes and bi-polar drive scheme. In addition, interesting application of this ultra high luminance flat lamp by the optimization of the gas condition and the pattern of the rear phosphor layer is suggested as a good alternative of daylight lamp source

The efficient power MOSFET inverter applied for a simple and low cost power supply is proposed for driving the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamp load. For decades, the DBD phenomenon has been used for ozone gas production in industry. In this research, the ultraviolet and visible light sources utilizing the DBD lamp is considered as the load for solid-state high frequency power supply. It is found that the simple voltage-source single-ended quasi-resonant ZVS inverter with only one active power switch could effectively drive this load with the output power up to 700 W. The pulse density modulation based control scheme for the single-ended quasi-resonant ZVS inverter using a low voltage and high current power MOSFET switching device is proposed to provide a linear power regulation characteristic in the wide range 0-100％ of the full power as compared with the conventional control based Royer type parallel resonant inverter type power supplies.

새로운 방전 AND gate를 가지는 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널이 제안되었고 이를 검증하기 위한 구동 회로 시스템이 개발되었다. 그리고 방전 AND gate의 동작이 검증되었다. 방전 AND gate는 8$\mu\textrm{s}$의 동작속도와 20V의 동작마진을 가지고 동작하였으며 인근 주사라인의 방전을 정확히 제어할 수 있다는 것을 알았다. 이 방식은 직류 방전을 사용함으로 종래의 방전 AND gate에 비해 손쉽게 방전을 제어할 수가 있다. 더구나 AND gate의 입력방전과 출력방전이 분리되어 동작하기 때문에 디스플레이 방전이 AND gate를 통과하는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 그러므로 대화면 플라즈마 디스플레이에의 적용이 가능하고 주사방전이 화질에 영향을 주지 않으므로 명암비의 저하가 일어나지 않는다.

An address voltage stabilization circuit for the single-side driving (SSD) method for AC plasma display panels (PDP) is proposed. The single-side driving method, which eliminates a common sustaining driver, uses only two electrodes in a three electrode AC PDP structure. The high-impedance (Hi-Z) mode operation of the data drive ICs during the sustaining period is needed for surface gas-discharge without misfiring in the SSD method but it produces the problem that the address voltage increases up to the breakdown voltage. The proposed circuit based on a flyback converter can stabilize the address voltage under the breakdown voltage and provide better surface gas-discharge performance without any misfiring in the SSD scheme.

In this paper power system and drive-train for omni-directional autonomous mobile robots with multiple energy storage units are presented. Because in proposed system, which is implemented in soccer robots, the ability of power flow control from of multiple separated energy storage units and speed control for each motor are combined, these robots can be derived by more than one power source. This capability, allow robot to diversify its energy source by employing hybrid power sources. In this research Lithium ion polymer batteries have been used for main and auxiliary energy storage units because of their high power and energy densities. And to protect them against deep discharge, over current and short circuit, a protection circuit was designed. The other parts of our robot power system are DC-DC converters and kicker circuit. The simulation and experimental results show proposed scheme and extracted equations are valid and energy management and speed control can be achieved properly using this method. The filed experiments show robot mobility functions to perform the requested motion is enough and it has a high maneuverability in the field.

본 논문에서는 HDTV급 이상의 고해상도 AC PDP를 구동할 수 있는 새로운 구동방식을 제안하였다. 제안한 구동방식은 유지방전 펄스의 상승부와 하강부를 어드레스 방전에 이용하여 0.85${\mu}s$의 데이터 펄스 및 스캔 펄스 쪽으로 어드레스 방전이 가능하고 위상차이가 있는 유지방전 펄스를 인가하여 어드레스 방전의 횟수를 증가시켜 고해상도의 AC PDP패널을 고휘도로 구동할 수 있다. 유지 방전 주파수가 125kHz이고 4개의 위상차이를 줄 경우 최대 2080 수평해상도의 패널을 구동 할 수 있다. 이를 확인하기 위해 $30{\times}58$ 해상도의 4인치 칼라 AC PDP를 제한한 구동방식으로 구동하였으며 전압이 140V이고 주파수가 125kHz인 유지방전 펄스로 화면 잡음 없이 850 $cd/m^2$의 고휘도를 구현하였다.

The present work proposes an improved numerical simulator for design and modification of large area capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) processing chamber. CCP, as notoriously well-known, demands the tremendously huge computational cost for carrying out transient analyses in realistic multi-dimensional models, because electron dissociations take place in a much smaller time scale (${\Delta}t{\approx}10-8{\sim}10-10$) than time scale of those happened between neutrals (${\Delta}t{\approx}10-1{\sim}10-3$), due to the rf drive frequencies of external electric field. And also, for spatial discretization of electron flux (Je), exponential scheme such as Scharfetter-Gummel method needs to be used in order to alleviate the numerical stiffness and resolve exponential change of spatial distribution of electron temperature (Te) and electron number density (Ne) in the vicinity of electrodes. Due to such computational intractability, it is prohibited to simulate CCP deposition in a three-dimension within acceptable calculation runtimes (<24 h). Under the situation where process conditions require thickness non-uniformity below 5%, however, detailed flow features of reactive gases induced from three-dimensional geometric effects such as gas distribution through the perforated plates (showerhead) should be considered. Without considering plasma chemistry, we therefore simulated flow, temperature and species fields in three-dimensional geometry first, and then, based on that data, boundary conditions of two-dimensional plasma discharge model are set. In the particular case of SiH4-NH3-N2-He CCP discharge to produce deposition of SiNxHy thin film, a cylindrical showerhead electrode reactor was studied by numerical modeling of mass, momentum and energy transports for charged particles in an axi-symmetric geometry. By solving transport equations of electron and radicals simultaneously, we observed that the way how source gases are consumed in the non-isothermal flow field and such consequences on active species production were outlined as playing the leading parts in the processes. As an example of application of the model for the prediction of the deposited thickness uniformity in a 300 mm wafer plasma processing chamber, the results were compared with the experimentally measured deposition profiles along the radius of the wafer varying inter-electrode gap. The simulation results were in good agreement with experimental data.
