The operating condition of the OLED (organic light-emitting diode) is very sensitive to electrode thickness properties. The electrode thickness is a significant issue in the construction of OLEDs because of its transparency, high conductivity and high efficiency as an injector into organic materials. We carried out a systematic study to optimize the electrode thickness conditions in Indiumtin oxide (ITO), Molybdenum (Mo) and Aluminum (Al). Further, we measured electrode thickness under standard conditions [ITO 1500$\AA$, Mo 2600$\AA$, Al 1500$\AA$]. We also evaluated power consumption. In addition, we analyzed substrate uniformity with IVL measurement results. From these results, it is known that the electrode thickness should be optimized in order to accomplish optimal power efficiency.

A commercial PbO₂ electrode was adopted as the anode for the electrochemical degradation of the real textile effluent with the initial COD of 56.0 mg L^-1 and the stainless steel plate as the cathode. The effect of the initial pH, the electrolyte flow rate and the cell voltage on the COD, the current efficiency and the energy consumption were investigated without the addition of NaCl or Na₂SO₄. The experimental results illustrated that the PbO₂ electrode can reduce the COD of the textile effluent from 56.0 mg L^-1 to 26.0 mg L^-1 with the current efficiency of 86.1% and the energy consumption of 17.5 kWh kg^-1 (per kilogram of degraded COD) under the optimal operating conditions. Therefore PbO₂ electrode as the anode was promising to further electrochemically degrade the real textile effluent.

To improve the luminous efficacy of PDPs, an AC PDP with new metal electrode structure is suggested. Operating voltage margin, power consumption, luminance, luminous efficacy, addressing jitter and ICCD image of test panel with proposed structure are measured, to compared with performances of the conventional ITO structure and proposed structures. To enhance luminous efficacy, we designed new structure which have asymmetric metal electrode structure. The experimental results show that the suggested structure shows luminance to maximum 89% and luminous efficacy to maximum 107% compared with conventional ITO standard structure. In addition, proposed structures with asymmetric electrode show low power consumption by $2{\sim}3%$, high luminance by $5{\sim}7%$, and high luminous efficacy by $2{\sim}3%$ compared with proposed symmetric electrode structures.

Characteristics of DBD(Dielectric Barrier Discharge) plasma actuator as design parameters were investigated for plasma flow control. Flow velocity and power consumption of the DBD plasma actuator were measured according to the design parameters such as discharge voltage and frequency, gap, width and length of electrode, and the thickness of dielectric barrier. The flow velocity and power consumption increased as the discharge voltage and frequency increased. As the electrode gap increased, the flow velocity increased with decreasing the power consumption, whereas high voltage was required for the plasma discharge. The flow velocity increased as the upper-electrode width decreased, and as the lower-electrode width increased at the constant power consumption. The performance of the DBD plasma actuator can be estimated at the given discharge and geometry conditions.

According as CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent lamp) of light source in Backlight unit for Note PC (Personal computer) is presently needed to low power consumption and long life time, the development focus of CCFL is going on the discharge gas, phosphor and electrode material. First of all, discharge voltage characteristic of CCFL is closely connected with electrode material For low discharge voltage, the characteristic of electrode material is needed to low work function, low sputtering ratio and superior manufacturing property. We developed new CCFL with Nb/Ni Clad electrode superior to conventional CCFL. Because Nb/Ni Clad electrode with Ni material and Nb material, the electrical characteristic is superior to other electrode materials. The electrode of Nb/Ni Clad is composed that Ni of outside material has superior manufacturing property and Nb of inside material has low work function. Nb/Ni Clad of new electrode material is made by process of Rolling mill at high pressure and heat treatment. We compared electrical characteristic of Nb/Ni clad electrode with conventional Mo electrode by measurement. Mo electrode and Nb/Ni Clad electrode of cup type with diameter 1.1 mm and length 3.0mm are used to this experiment. Material content of Mo electrode is Mo 100%. But, Nb/Ni Clad electrode is composed by content of Nb 40% and Ni 60%. The result of comparison measurement between new CCFL with Nb/Ni Clad electrode and conventional CCFL was appeared that CCFL with Nb/Ni Clad electrode had superior characteristic than conventional CCFL. As a result of experiment, we completed Note PC with low power consumption and long life time by application of new CCFL with Nb/Ni Clad electrode.

Electrochemical method was used for the fracturing flow-back fluid treatment in Guangyuan oilfield. After performing electrolysis, we found that the amount of $H_2$ gas produced by electrode was closely related to the combination mode of electrodes and electrode materials. Using an aluminium electrode resulted in a large $H_2$ production of each electrode combination, whereas inert anode and cathode materials resulted in low $H_2$ production. Then, the relationship between the gas production of $H_2$ and the treatment efficiency of fracturing flow-back fluid in Guangyuan oilfield was studied. Results showed that the turbidity removal and decolourisation rates of fracturing flow-back fluid were high when $H_2$ production was high. If the $H_2$ production of inert electrode was large, the energy consumption of this inert electrode was also high. However, energy consumption when an aluminium anode material was used was lower than that when the inert electrode was used, whereas the corresponding electrode combination production of $H_2$ was larger than that of the inert electrode combination. When the inert electrode was used as anode, the gas production type was mainly $O_2$, and $Cl_2$ was also produced and dissolved in water to form $ClO^-$. $H_2$ production at the cathode was reduced because $ClO^-$ obtained electrons.

A new electrode structure is proposed in this paper which can increase the discharge efficiency of plasma display panels and also decrease the panel capacitance by decreasing the electrode area effectively. Even with the decreased electrode area, the proposed structure could suppress the requirement for increasing the voltage and improve efficiency by limiting the discharge current.

In order to develop the commercial frequency (60Hz) plasma torch of small capacity for material cutting, welding and other industrial heating, the A.C plasma jet generator of non-transfered type is made domestically and the electrode configurations of plasma torch are composed of two kinds of electrodes W-C and W-Cu, combined by thermal emission and field emission electrode materials. In this paper, the characteristics of input power, thermal efficiency, electrode consumption, the flame and forms of arc voltage and arc current for A.C plasma torch are investigated in relation to such variables as arc current, argon flow and magnetic field intensity to obtain the basic design data necessary to A.C plasma jet generator. The result are as follows; (1)The input power, thermal efficiency and electrode consumption are influenced greatly by argon flow, magnetic field intensity and nozzle materials. (2)A.C arc voltage and current are non-symmetrial, involving D.C Component. Due to this current of D.C Component, transformer core is saturated and a large abnormal current flows into the primary winding coil. In order to prevent this abnormal current flow, a condenser must be connected in series to the main discharge circuit. (3)The stability and sharpness of jet flame are improved more in the torch of W-C electrode configuration than in the torch of W-Cu electrode configuration.

In this paper we proposed a new electrode design to get an enhanced luminous efficiency in AC PDP. The width and shape of the TTO electrode were varied, and the electro-optical properties such as luminance, power consumption, luminous efficiency were estimated with the variation of frequency, duty ratio and applied voltage. The discharge characteristics were investigated to explain the effect of the new electrode structure on the electro-optical properties.

The welding quality by Gas Tungsten Arc Welding shows very high level, but the welding speed is lower than that of gas metal arc welding. Also, the welding quality by automatic GTAW is variable as the arc characteristics is changed by the consumption of electrode tip. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between the properties of tungsten electrode tip and the various arc characteristics at high current region. In this study, the high welding current 200A was applied to the repeated arc start test and long term arcing test using the $\phi$3.2 tungsten electrodes with cone angle 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$sharp tip, and 60$^{\circ}$surface polished (S.P.) sharp tip. It was confirmed that the maximum arc pressure by the initial electrode condition was highest in 45$^{\circ}$sharp tip, and the next in 60$^{\circ}$sharp tip, the last was in 30$^{\circ}$sharp tip and 60$^{\circ}$S.P.. But, the maximum arc pressure after the repeated arc start test and long term arcing test was decreased considerably. But, the maximum arc pressure was highest also in 45$^{\circ}$ sharp tip after the tests, the next was in 30$^{\circ}$sharp tip, and the last was in 60$^{\circ}$sharp tip and 60$^{\circ}$S.P.. The arc start characteristics was the most excellent in 60$^{\circ}$S.P., By long term arcing test, the lanthania included in tungsten electrode was extinguished at tip surface preferentially, therefore the arc characteristics of electrode tip got worse.
