Abstract

To investigate the discharge dynamics of alternating current plasma display panel (ACPDP), we measured the spatio-temporally resolved VUV and IR emission by an intensified charge coupled device (CCD). The breakdown beings around the anode inner edge and moves towards the cathode surface. As the ionization intensifies in front of the cathode surface, another emission region appears on the anode surface. While the anode side emission does not move but grows, the cathode side emission moves out and spreads over the entire cathode surface. The discharge dynamics emission by a 2 dimensional numerical simulation suggests that a cathode-directed streamer formation play an important role.
