We have measured the spatiotemporal behavior for the density of excited Xe atoms in the $1s_5$ metastable states by laser absorption spectroscopy in accordance with various shapes of ITO electrode. The maximum density of excited Xe atoms in the Is5 state in a discharge cell for fish-boned, T-shaped and squared ITO electrodes has been measured to be $3.01{\times}10^{13}\;cm^{-3}$, $2.66{\times}10^{13}\;cm^{-3}$ and $2.06{\times}10^{13}\;cm^{-3}$, respectively. Throughout this experiment, we could understand the influence of the shapes of ITO electrode of micro discharge cell on the high efficiency of AC-PDPs.

Plasma Display Panel (PDP) is required to be both the determination of white point of each gray level and the inverse gamma correction since no-balanced RGB cell and linear property of PDP, respectively. However, these two methods cause degradation of grey level representation and undesirable false contour in the dark areas on PDP. In this paper, we implemented real time image processor of the proposed error diffusion algorithm and unsharp masking operation to protect the blurring image caused by the error diffusion. Experimental results showed drastic improvements of gray level representation and reduction of undesirable false contour.

본 논문에서는 AC PDP의 유지방전구간에서의 인가전압에 따른 방전전류, 공간전압, 벽전하 등의 변화를 새로운 AC PDP를 위한 등가회로모델을 사용하여 효율적이고 간편하게 시뮬레이션 한 결과를 소개한다. 벽전하의 정확한 분석은 안정적이고 효율적인 AC PDP의 구동 방법을 개발하기 위해 계속 연구, 보고 되어 왔지만, 인가되는 전압의 변화에 따른 시간적인 셀 내부의 변화를 빠르고 편리하게 분석하고 이해하는데 효과적인 방법은 제시되지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 AC PDP의 전극간 물리적인 특성을 고려하여 3개의 직렬 커패시터와 1개의 병렬 커패시터, 2개의 싸이리스터를 사용하여 AC PDP를 위한 등가회로모델을 구성하여 제시하였다. 제안된 등가회로모델은 SPICE와 같은 표준 회로시뮬레이션 툴에 손쉽게 적용가능하며, 이러한 방법으로 분석된 패널내의 전류, 공간전압, 벽전하의 동특성을 소개하였다. 등가회로모델을 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과는 실험을 통한 측정 결과와 비교하여 그 정확성을 검증하였다. 인가전압의 시간적 변화의 따른 유입전류 및 셀 내의 전압 및 전하의 분포를 손쉽고 정확하게 시뮬레이션 할 수 있는 본 AC PDP의 등가회로모델은 AC PDP의 특성을 이해하는 데에 중요한 도구가 될 것이며 효율적인 구동 방식의 개발 및 분석 등에 널리 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

A PDP(Plasma Display Panel) Frame is critical part of PDP and also produces couple hundred thousand every month. In the process of mass production, product inspection is very important process. Also to increase the reliance, inspection each part and every final product is asked quite often. Purpose of this paper is to use computer vision system to inspect the PDP parts which is Automated visual process inspection. This paper contains the system design for inspecting defects of hole, tab, stud, rivet of PDP Frame. The system also can inspect various kinds of PDP frames. Quick and accurate 100% inspection of all shapes can improve the manufacturing productivity. Inspection results can be stored in a database and analyzed to find the cause of defects. After applying the system to the industry, the result shows the possibility of fast and accuracy of the inspection.

AC-PDP는 구조적으로 2장의 유리, 유전체, 전극으로 구성된다. AC-PDP의 전기적특성은 유전체의 물성에 크게 좌우된다. AC-PDP의 유전체는 주변 온도와 주파수에 따라 유전율 및 유전손실 특성이 달라지므로 온도와 주파수에 따른 유전물질의 물성변화와 panel의 전기적특성에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 온도와 주파수에 따른 AC-PDP내 유전체의 유전율 및 유전손실에 대한 특성에 대해 알아보고 4인치 test 패널을 제작하여 온도와 주파수에 따른 panel의 전기적특성 관계를 살펴보았다.

Recently, in order to improve the characteristics of operating voltage, brightness, discharge time lag, luminous efficacy of ac PDP, the PDP with high Xe partial pressure has been investigated. However, the serious problems in this case is to increase the operating voltage of ac PDP. In this study, in order to meet this problem the influences of kr gas in Ne-Xe-Kr ternary gas system is investigated for wide range of Xe partial pressure in terms of operating voltage, driving margin, luminance and luminous efficacy.

Barrier rib for the plasma display panel(PDP) was made by photolithographic process utilizing photosensitive barrier rib paste. The barrier rib paste was prepared by first dissolving ethylcellulose(binder polymer) in butyl carbitol(BC)/butyl carbitol acetate(BCA) =30/70 wt % mixture solvent at 15 wt % concentration. To this solution a mixture of functional monomers consisted of tripropyleneglycol diacrylate/ pentaerythritol triacrylate = 50/50 wt %, Irgacur 651 photoinitiator, and barrier rib powder were added and then the whole mixture was mixed in the three roll mill for 2 hr. The effect of component and concentration of photosensitive barrier paste on the photolithographic process was studied. After optimization of the paste formulation and photolithographic process, barrier rib could be obtained with good resolution up to $100{\mu}m$ height.

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.

The newly designed Ac-PDP(plasma display panel with comb-type electrode) structure was fabricated by using the screen printing method and the electrical and optical characteristics were measured under the various discharge conditions. The minimum firing voltages measured under pure Ne and Ne+Xe mixture gas with the application of 10 kHz square wave were 190V and 160V, respectively. The firing voltages of the PDP cell with the comb-type electrode were compared with those of the cell with matrix electrode under the same discharge condition. The firing voltage of the PDP cell with comb-type electrode was 15 V lower than that of the PDP cell with conventional matrix electrodes.
