Barrier ribs in plasma display panels (PDPs) function to maintain the discharge space between the glass plates as well as to prevent optical cross-talking. The barrier ribs currently employed are typically $300{\mu}m$ pitch, $110{\sim}120{\mu}m$ in height, with upper and lower widths of $50{\mu}m$ and $80{\mu}m$, respectively. It has been reported that barrier ribs can be fabricated by screen-printing, sand blasting, etching and photolithographic processes. In this study, photosensitive barrier rib pastes were formulated and systematically evaluated in terms of photolithographic process variables such as printing, drying, UV exposure, development and sintering. It was found that the use of UV absorbent, polymerization inhibitor and surfactant were very effective in controlling the width uniformity of barrier ribs in the photolithographic method of barrier rib patterning.

In this study, water jet etching of aqueous green tape was attempted for processing barrier rib of plasma display panel. This process combines 1) chemical etching between water and aqueous based binder in the tape and 2) mechanical erosion by water jet. Effects of etching parameters such as pressure, temperature and aqueous binder content on the morphology of barrier ribs formed were investigated. The results demonstrated a possibility of processing barrier ribs by water jet etching.

In this study, an attempt was made to demonstrate the possibility of using laser scribing method in manufacturing the barrier ribs of plasma display panel. The scribing with a CO2 laser was conducted on the green tape produced by the doctor blade tape casting method. Among the processing parameters, the quenching gas pressure, shape of mask, and laser power were found to affect the depth and angle of the scibed barrier ribs.

Plasma display panel (PDP) is a type of flat panel display utilizing the light emission that is produced by gas discharge. Barrier Ribs of PDP separating each sub-pixel prevents optical and electrical crosstalk 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 stripes of glass-material wall. In this paper. Stripes of grooves of which width 48 um, depth 124um, pitch 274um was acquired by machining the material of WC with dicing saw blade. Maximum roughness of the bottom and sidewall of the grooves was respectively 120 nm, 287 nm. Maximum tilt angle caused by difference between upper-most width and lower-most width was 2$^{\circ}$. Maximum Radius of curvature of bottom was 7.75 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. This results meets the specification for barrier ribs of 50 inch XGA PDP. Forming the glass paste will be followed by using mold in the near future.

Barrier ribs in the plasma display panel (PDP) function to maintain the discharge space between the glass plates as well as to prevent optical crosstalk. Patterning of barrier ribs is one of unique processes for making PDP. Barrier ribs could be formed by screen-printing, sand blasting, etching, and photolithographic process. In this work photosensitive barrier rib pastes were prepared by incorporating binder polymer, solvent, functional monomers photoinitiator, and barrier rib powder of which surface was treated with fumed silica particles. Studies on the function of materials for the barrier rib paste were undertaken. After optimization of paste formulation and photolithographic process, it was applied to the photosensitive barrier rib green sheet and was found that photolithographic patterning of barrier ribs could be formed with good resolution up to $110{\mu}m$ height and $60{\mu}m$ width after sintering.

In an attempt to reduce processing cost and to improve resolution of PDPs, micro mold transfer processing route for barrier ribs of plasma display panel was attempted. In this study, the parameters that may cause defects during the process were identified, which include the shrinkage during UV curing process, stress due to evaporation of organic components, and sintering shrinkage. Considering such parameters, UV curable paste was developed and barrier ribs of PDPs were successfully processed via the process. This work demonstrated the possibility of build-up route in manufacturing barrier ribs of PDP.

To produce a fine structure with uniform surface of barrier ribs in PDP, acid etching process has been used in manufacture process. It is necessary to understand the mechanism of etching, particularly on the interface of ceramic fillers and matrix glass. We investigated the effect of ceramic fillers (ZnO, $Al_2O_3$) on the microstructure of borate glass system to find an etching mechanism of barrier ribs. The barrier ribs was etched with several steps, dissolving a small amount of residual glass, taking out alumina fillers, and removing a cluster type of ZnO fillers and glass matrix.

In this paper, high precision molding process was developed using a soft mold to fabricate fine closed-types of the barrier ribs for PDP. A green sheet was employed to fabricate the barrier ribs in this process. The soft mold with good demolding characteristics was replicated from a master mold. An optimal forming load which would not fracture the soft mold was also determined. The barrier ribs of rectangular type with upper width of $30\;{\mu}m$ would be fabricated by this process.

Recently, PDP barrier ribs require the formation of complex structure so that they are usually formed by etching method. For producing the fine ribs structure, during the etching process the metal ions of matrix (glass) of barrier materials should be understood on the etching mechanism with etching condition. We analyzed the quantity of Pb, Si, and B ions from the etch solution as a function of etching time.
