Refractive index of glasses is important to develop a photosensitive paste for barrier rips in PDP. We investigated the refractive index and dielectric constant of glasses by contents of silica in $B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glasses. It is confirmed that the refractive index of the glass system is changed by the composition of glasses

The PDP(Plasma Display Panel) barrier rib material on the glass substrate was patterned for fabrication of the PDP cell using Nd:YAG laser(1064 nm) which can generate the second(532 nm) and forth(266 nm) harmonic wave by HGM(harmonic generation modules). At a scan speed of 20 ${\mu}m/s$ with the second harmonic wave(532 nm) of Nd:YAG laser, the etching threshold laser fluence of the PDP material was 6.5 $mJ/cm^2$ and a sample(thickness = 180 ${\mu}m$) on the glass substrate was removed clearly at a laser fluence of 19.5 $mJ/cm^2$. In order to increase the throughput of the fabrication we divided a single-beam into multi-beams by using a metal mask between the sample and the focusing lens. As a result, 10 lines of PDP cell were formed by one laser beam scanning at a scan speed of 200 ${\mu}m/s$ and a laser fluence of 2.86 $J/cm^2$.

Plasma Display Panel(PDP) is a type of flat panel display utilizing the light emission produced by gas discharge. Barrier Ribs of PDP separating each sub-pixel prevents optical and electrical crosstalks from adjacent sub-pixels. Mold for forming barrier ribs has been newly researched to overcome the disadvantages of conventional manufacturing process such as screen printing, sand-blasting and photosensitive glass methods. Mold for PDP barrier ribs have stripes of micro grooves transferring glass-material wall. In this paper, Stripes of grooves of which width 48${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 270${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, depth 124${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, pitch 274${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was acquired by machining hard and brittle materials of WC, Silicon, Alumina with dicing saw blade. Maximum roughness of the bottom and sidewall of the grooves was respectively 120nm, 287nm in grooving WC. Maximum tilt angle caused by difference between upper-most width and lower-most width was 2$^{\circ}$. Maximum Radius of bottom curvatures was 7.75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. This results satisfies the specification for barrier ribs of 50 inch XGA PDP if the groove form of mold was fully transferred to the barrier ribs. Barrier ribs were formed with Silicone rubber mold, which is transferred from grooved hard materials. Silicone rubber mold has elasticity accommodating the waveness of lower glass plate of PDP.

To obtaingood resolution in PDP, one of the important factors is to achieve the accuracy of barrier ribs. The photolithographic process can be used to form patterns of barrier rib with high accuracy and a high aspect ratio. The composition for photolithography is based on the $B_2O_3-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ glass system including additives such as alkali oxides and alkali earth oxides. The refractive index and thermal properties in glass system are changed by amount of alkali oxides and alkali earth oxides. Therefore, it is important that additives are controlled to have proper refractive index and thermal properties. The additives are contributed to non-bridging oxygen within the glass network, causing a change of density. In addition to a change of the structural cross-link density, the refractive index, dielectric and thermal properties glass are correlated with ionic radius and polarizability of cations. In this study, we investigated the refractive index and the thermal properties such as glass transition temperature, glass softening temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion by changing composition in the $B_2O_3-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ glass system.

It is inevitable that reconsideration of the use of lead oxides in the electronics industry be undertaken as long as detrimental effects to the environment remain. To solve this problem, many recent studies on Pb-free compositions for PDP (plasma display panel) dielectric layers and also sealing glass compositions have been made. The present study was conducted to investigate whether the alternative systems for leadfree low firing glasses, detailed below, are available for use in PDP materials. The results suggest that low-melting phosphate glasses would be suitable as an alternative material for the Pb-based dielectric layer, sealants and barrier ribs in PDP.

We investigated the effect of ZnO filler on the microstructure of $BaO-B_2O_3-ZnO-P_2O_5$ glass system to find an etching mechanism of barrier ribs. The sintering behavior of composites heated in the temperature range $560-600^{\circ}C$ was studied by volumetric shrinkage rate and microstructure. The etching test was carried out in $HNO_3$ solution at $50^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The volumetric shrinkage of sintered sample decreased with the increased firing temperature because of the formation of two crystals. Glass and ZnO filler react forming the $BaZn_2(PO_4)_2$ crystal phases during the sintering process. Etching phenomenon of sintered samples by $HNO_3$ showed that the $BaZn_2(PO_4)_2$ crystal phase was strongly leached compared to glass matrix, crystal phases and fillers. Therefore, the control of interface by condition of sintering is so important to achieve etching effect in barrier ribs.

The glass frit has been used in transparent dielectric, barrier rib and electrode of PDP (Plasma display panel). In PDP fabrication, the firing temperature of glass frit is normally 550~$580^{\circ}C$ with conventional heating. However, there are a problem that silver in electrode is diffused throughout the transparent dielectric. For inhibiting the Ag diffusion we considered use of the microwave heating. We investigated firing of glass frit compared between conventional and microwave heating. After firing by two types of heating, the diffusion of silver is determined using a optical microscope and UV-spectrometer. Based on the our results, the microwave heating should be a candidate to heating source for high efficacy in PDP.

The principal problems in development of dielectric paste materials for PDP(plasma display panel)are PbO free paste and low melting temperature. We prepared PbO free paste from glasses in the system $BaO-ZnO-B_2O_3-V_2O_5$. DTA, XRD and SEM were used to study and characterize $BaO-ZnO-B_2O_3-V_2O_5$ glasses. PbO free paste developed at this paper has thermal expansion of $74{\times}10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$, DTA transformation point of $460^{\circ}C$, and firing condition of $560^{\circ}C$, 10min.
