The plasma display panel is an image expression display using gas discharge plasma. However, gas discharge characteristics vary with temperature as gas discharge is sensitive to temperature. The discharge time lag extends a lot in low temperature and it is known as the cause which hinders high speed addressing which is essential for the size enlargement of the panel. Accordingly this research aims at identifying the temperature-dependent discharge characteristic. The lower temperature becomes, the longer addressing discharge time lag becomes. Particularly the statistical time lag extends much in low temperature. The increasing of electric field shortens discharge time lag in low temperature. Also, when priming particles are sufficiently supplied, stable discharge can be performed regardless of the influence of temperature.

Glow discharge has lots of attractive properties, such as lower discharge sustaining voltage, no generation of ozone, and so on. And more, ionizer was developed recently using an atmospheric pressure glow discharge. On the other hand, ionizer needs a compressed or blown air to transport ion for charged objects. This air is very useful in explosive hazardous area to prevent the explosion of flammable gas and/or vapor by ignition sources, e.g. electrical spark. In this paper, we investigated the ionizing characteristic of atmospheric pressure glow discharge by controlled air flow rate from 5 liters to 60 liters a minute, and compared with decay time between the corona discharge and glow discharge as a function of some direction and distance from discharge ion source. We confirmed that an air flow rate needs 25 liters a minute to sustain the most suitable atmospheric pressure glow discharge and to increase an ionizing efficiency.

A corona discharge system with needle point or wire type corona electrode has been well used as an ionic wind blower. The corona discharge system with a needle point electrode produces ions at lower applied voltage effectively. However, the corona discharge on the needle point electrode transits to the arc discharge at lower voltage, and it is hard to obtain the elevated electric field in the discharge airgap for enhancing the ion migration velocity due to the weak Coulomb force. A cylindrical corona electrode with sharp round tip is reported as one of effective corona electrode, because of its higher breakdown voltage than that of the needle electrode. A basic study, for the effectiveness of cylindrical electrode shape on the ionic wind generation, has been investigated to obtain an maximum wind velocity, which however is the final goal for the real field application of this kind ionic wind blower. In this paper, a parametric study for maximizing the ionic wind velocity utilizing the cylindrical corona electrode and a maximum ion wind velocity of 4.1 m/s were obtained, which is about 1.8 times higher than that of 2.3m/s obtained with the needle corona electrode from the velocity profile.

We investigated effects of electrical, physical, and chemical parameters on energy transfer, NO conversion, and light emission in the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) process. As gap distance between electrodes increased, discharge onset voltage increased. However, as gap distance between electrodes increased, electric field which initiates discharge showed approximately the same value, 30kV/cm. The discharge onset voltage of the coarse surface electrode was lower than that of the smooth surface electrode. And, energy transfer was slightly enhanced in the coarse electrode condition. However, NO conversion rate decreased with the coarse surface electrode because more uniform discharge can be obtained on the smooth surface electrode. The NO conversion rate increased with decreasing the initial concentration, so the DBD process is more feasible in the lower concentration condition. The variation of gas residence time tested at the same energy density in the experiment did not affect on the NO conversion. The result shows that the NO conversion rate mainly depends on the energy density. The DBD process is able to adjust on plasma-photocatalyst process because it emits the short wavelength light in the range of ultraviolet. The intensity of light emission increased with the increase of the energy transfer to the reactor and the gas flow rate.

This study has been performed to inmvestigate MRR(metal removal rate), REW(relative electrode wear), surface roughness, heat transumutation layer and microhardness distribution in cross-section of the machined surface with various pulse-on duration and peak pulse current, using the copper and graphite electrode on the heat treated STD11 which is extensively used for metallic molding steel with the EDM. The results obtained are as follows; a) There exists critical pulse-on duration(If Ip equals 5A, .tau. on is 50 .mu. s) which shows the the maximum MRR in accordance with peak oulse current and the MRR decreases when the pulse-on duration exceeds the critical pulse-on during because of the abnormal electric discharge. b) Safe discharge is needed to make maximum of MRR and the metalic organization must be complicated for discharge induction. c) Graphite has much more benefits than copper electrode when rapid machining is done without electrode wear. d) The most external surface has the highest microhardness because of car- burizing from heat analysis of the dielectric fluid and the lower layar of the white covered layer has lower microhar dness than base matal because of softening.

A point-mesh type corona system has been well used as a ionic wind blower. However this type corona system suffers from its lower ionic wind generation, because of its lower on-set and breakdown voltages of its very sharp needle point corona electrode. This means that the point corona electrode must act both as an effective ion-generator and a very higher electric field producer in the discharge airgap in order to generate higher ionic wind velocity. In this paper, a cylinder-mesh type discharge system as a ionic wind generator is proposed and investigated. The cylindrical corona electrode can produce many ions from its sharpened edge, and the corona on-set and breakdown voltages are very higher than those of the needle point corona electrode. As a result, this type cylindrical corona electrode might generate a higher ionic wind than the needle point corona electrode.

The performance of ac plasma display panels (PDP) is influenced strongly by the surface glow discharge characteristics on the MgO thin films. This paper deals with the surface glow discharge characteristics and some physical properties of MgO thin films prepared by reactive RF planar unbalanced magnetron sputtering in connection with ac PDP. The samples prepared with the de bias voltage of -10V showed lower discharge voltage, lower erosion rate by ion bombardment, higher optic transparency and higher crack resistance in annealing process than those samples prepared by conventional magnetron sputtering or E-beam evaporation.

This paper deals with the surface glow discharge characteristics and some physical properties of MgO thin films prepared by reactive RF planar unbalanced magnetron sputtering in connection with ac PDP. The samples prepared with dc bias voltage of -10V showed lower discharge voltage and lower erosion rate byion bombardment than those samples prepared by conventional magnetron sputtering or E-beam evaporation. The main factor that improves the discharge characteristics by bias voltage is considered to be due to the morphology changes or crystal structure of the MgO thin film by ion bombardement during deposition process.

Characteristics of dark image retention and address discharge time lag were investigated simultaneously. It was found that reset waveforms with low black luminance did not guarantee lower image retention. Improved address discharge time lag due to modified reset waveforms similarly did not show improved image retention. The address discharge time lag and the image retention are in a trade-off relation.
