One of the important problems in recent AC-PDP technology is the image sticking. In this research, we have investigated the PDP cell with constraint deposition MgO on phosphor, the electrical and optical properties in the PDP cell were examined. Also, we have investigated the correlation with image sticking and degraded MgO protective layer, phosphor in AC-PDP. As a result, we measured the secondary electron emission coefficient ${\gamma}$, discharge characteristics and Brightness for the constraint degraded phosphor are compared with those of nondegraded phosphor.

The improvement of efficiency is the one of the most important part in AC PDPs . To achieve high efficiency, high VUV emission efficiency and High ion induces secondary electron emission coefficient are needed. We have measured the emission spectra of vacuum ultraviolet rays and ion induced secondary electron emission coefficient of MgO protective layer in surface discharge AC-PDP with binary and ternary gas mixtures. We have investigated electro-optical characteristics of AC-PDPs to optimum gas mixture for high efficient.

In this experiment, we have investigated that the transported space charge between sub-pixels in AC-plasma cell discharge. The test pulse 30 V, $5{\mu}s$ was applied to the address electrodes of neighbor cells of discharge occurred cells. And we have measured the transported space charge between sub-pixels in accordance with the various last sustain pulse widths t(time gap between the rising edges of sustain and test pulses) of 0.2 to $3{\mu}s$. It was observed that the peak value of transported space charge has been shown to be 21.5pC at $1.0{\mu}s$. And the IR peak value have been occured after $0.51{\mu}s$ with respect to sustain voltage.

The improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency is the one of the most important parts in AC-PDPs. To achieve high luminance and luminous efficiency, high VUV emission efficiency is needed. We measured the emission spectra of the vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) rays in surface discharge AC-PDP with ternary gas mixture of He-Ne-Xe. The influence of He-Ne-Xe gas-mixture ratio on excited $Xe^{\ast}$ resonant atoms and $Xe_2\;^{\ast}$ dimers has been investigated. It is found that luminous efficiency of ternary gas mixture, He-Ne-Xe, is shown to be much higher than that of binary gas mixture of Ne-Xe. For improving discharge luminous efficiency, we have studied VUV emission characteristics of ternary gas mixture, He(50%)-Ne-Xe and He(70%)-Ne-Xe with Xe concentration and filling gas pressure.

Ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficient $({\gamma})$. of the patterned MgO thin film with geometrical structures has been measured by ${\gamma}$ - FIB(focused ion beam) system. The patterned MgO thin film with geometrical structures has been formed by the mask (mesh of ${\sim}$ $10{\mu}m^{2})$ under electron beam evaporation method. It is found that the higher ${\gamma}$. has been achieved by the patterned MgO thin film than the normal ones without patterning.

Purpose: Proton therapy has different relative biological effectiveness (RBE) compared with X-ray treatment, which is the standard in radiation therapy, and the fixed RBE value of 1.1 is widely used. However, RBE depends on a charged particle's linear energy transfer (LET); therefore, measuring LET is important. We have developed a LET measurement method using the inefficiency characteristic of an EBT3 film on a proton beam's Bragg peak (BP) region. Methods: A Gafchromic EBT3 film was used to measure the proton beam LET. It measured the dose at a 10-cm pristine BP proton beam in water to determine the quenching factor of the EBT3 film as a reference beam condition. Monte Carlo (MC) calculations of dose-averaged LET (LET_d) were used to determine the quenching factor and validation. The dose-averaged LETs at the 12-, 16-, and 20-cm pristine BP proton beam in water were calculated with the quenching factor. Results: Using the passive scattering proton beam nozzle of the National Cancer Center in Korea, the LET_d was measured for each beam range. The quenching factor was determined to be 26.15 with 0.3% uncertainty under the reference beam condition. The dose-averaged LETs were measured for each test beam condition. Conclusions: We developed a method for measuring the proton beam LET using an EBT3 film. This study showed that the magnitude of the quenching effect can be estimated using only one beam range, and the quenching factor determined under the reference condition can be applied to any therapeutic proton beam range.

We have measured the excited Xe atoms density in the $1s_5$ metastable states by laser absorption spectroscopy in accordance with various barrier ribs.

The panel with close type barrier rib has been measured to be $5.1{\times}10^{12}cm^{-3}$.

The secondary electron emission coefficient $({\gamma})$ of the cathode is an important factor for improving the discharge characteristics of AC-PDPs because of its close relationship to discharge voltage. In AC-PDPs, MgO is most widely used as a surface protective layer. In this experimental, we have investigated the electronic structure of the energy band structure of the MgO layer responsible for the high ${\gamma}$. The MgO layers have been deposited by electron beam evaporation method, where the $O_2$ partial pressures have been varied as 0, $5.2{\times}10^{-5}$ torr, $1.0{\times}10^{-4}$ torr, and $4.1{\times}10^{-4}$ torr, in this experiment. It is noted that work function that is energy gap between surface and first defect level of MgO layer has the lowest value for the highest O2 partial pressure of $4.1^{\ast}10^{-4}$ Torr.
