Comparative study of the dependence of the firing voltage of MgSrO and MgCaO protective layers on chemical composition was carried out. It was observed that the firing voltage increases when CaO/MgO or SrO/MgO ratio increases.

We report a method for improving characteristics of AC PDP in this study. This improvement is obtained by spreading MgO nanoparticles on transparent dielectric layer. These nanoparticles are covered with MgO protective layer by electron beam evaporation. MgO nanoparticle has difference in cathodoluminescence stronger than MgO layer by electron beam evaporation. This method worked for reducing statistical delay especially. Efficacy, discharge voltage and luminance were also improved But these improvements has limited lifetime because continuous ion bombardments changed characteristic of MgO surface.

The influences of silicon and MgO seed particle on the reconstruction characteristics of MgO protective layer were investigated to clarify the mechanism of reconstruction and exaggerated grain growth (EGG) in AC-PDP. The reconstruction and EGG are closely correlated with the driving force for nucleation and growth, interface energy and initial size distribution of MgO protective layer in plasma space during discharge in AC-PDP.

The changes in secondary electron emission coefficient(${\gamma}$) and work function($\Phi$$_{\omega}$) have been studied on the surface of MgO protective layer aster plasma(Ar. $O_2$) treatment using ${\gamma}$-focused ion beam (${\gamma}$-FIB) system. The values of ${\gamma}$ varied as follows: $O_2$-treated MgO > Ar-treated MgO > Non-treated MgO, and the work functions varied in the reverse order. The result indicates that both the physical etching and the chemical reaction of $O_2$-plasma removed the contaminating materials from the surface of MgO.

The degradation characteristics of MgO protective layer and phosphors have been investigated in terms of the ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficient ${\gamma}$ and static margin of discharge voltages, respectively, in this experiment. The ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficients ${\gamma}$ for the degraded MgO protective layer and phosphors have been studied by ${\gamma}$ -focused ion beam system. The energy of Ne+ ions used is from 80 eV to 200 eV in this experiment. The degraded MgO and phosphor layers are found to have higher ${\gamma}$ than that of normal ones without degradations or aged one. Also, the static margin of discharge voltages for test panels with degraded MgO protective layer and phosphors been found to be seriously decreased in comparison with those of normal ones without degradations.

Plasma displays (PDP) as a large area wall-hanging display device are rabidly developed with flat CRT, TPT LCD and etc. Especially, AC Plasma Display Panels(AC PDPs) have the inherent memory function which is effective for large area displays. The memory function in AC PDPs is caused by the accumulation of the electrical charge on the protecting layer formed on the dielectric layer. This MgO protective layer prevents the dielectric layer from sputtering by ion in discharge plasma and also has the additional important roll in lowering the firing voltage due to the large secondary electron emission coefficient). Until now, the MgO Protective layer is mainly formed by E-Beam evaporation. With increasing the panel size, this process is difficult to attain cost reduction, and are not suitable for large quantity of production. To the contrary, the methode of shuttering are easy to apply on mass production and to enlarge the size of the panel and shows the superior adhesion and uniformity of thin film. In this study, we have prepared MgO protective layer on AC PDP Cell by reactive magnetron sputtering and studied the effect of MgO layer on the surface discharge characteristics of ac PDP.

Alkaline earth metal oxides were added to the conventional MgO films as a protective layer for dielectric materials to have lower firing voltage(Vf) of the plasma display panel(PDP). Panels with various protective layers of MgO-alkaline earth metal oxides were prepared on glass by using e-beam evaporation and its effect on firing voltage characteristics were investigated. (Ba-Mg)O films had poor voltage characteristics because of higher activation energy of BaO. But, (Sr-Mg)O, (Ca-Mg)O and (Ca-Sr-Mg) O had better voltage characteristics than the conventional MgO. A mixture film of (Mg-Ca-Sr)O show the lowest firing voltage which is less than that of MgO by 20V. The chemical composition to have lowest firing voltage is MgO:SrO:CaO ratio of 6:2:2. The mixture of MgO-Alkaline earth metal oxides films showed good transmittance properties within the visual range.

The protective layer of AC-PDP was fabricated by laminating an MgO green sheet. The MgO green sheet was made by coating MgO solution composed of solvent, dispersant, binder, and MgO nano-powder. The MgO solution was coated by the die casting method on the base film. We fabricated three kinds of MgO green sheets of which thicknesses were 20, 28, and $40\;{\mu}m$, respectively. The MgO nano-powder showed lower CL intensity and ${\gamma}i$ than the e-beam MgO. The MgO green sheet applied panels showed low luminance and current density. The efficiency was almost same as the conventional e-beam MgO panel.

[ $MgAl_2O_4$ ] 막은 MgO 보호막 보다 단단하며 수분 흡착 오염 문제에 상당히 강한 특성을 가진다. 본 연구에서 AC-PDP 의 유전체보호막으로 사용되는 MgO 보호막의 특성을 개선하기 위해 $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ 이중층 보호막을 제작하여 특성을 조사하였다. 전자빔 증착기를 사용하여 Cu 기판에 MgO 와 $MgAl_2O_4$을 각각 $1000\AA$ 두께로 증착, $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ 을 $200/800\AA$ 두께로 적층 증착 후, 이온빔에 의한 충전현상을 제거하기 위해 Al 을 $1000\AA$ 두께로 증착하였다. 집속 이온빔 (focused ion beam: FIB) 장치를 이용하여 10 kV 에서 14 kV 까지 이온빔 에너지에 따라 MgO는 $0.364{\sim}0.449$ 값의 스퍼터링 수율에서 $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ 을 적층함으로 $24{\sim}30 %$ 낮아진 $0.244{\sim}0.357$ 값의 스퍼터링 수율이 측정되었으며, $MgAl_2O_4$는 가장 낮은 $0.088{\sim}0.109$ 값의 스퍼터링 수율이 측정되었다. g-집속이온빔 (g-FIB) 장치를 이용하여 $Ne^+$ 이온 에너지를 50 V 에서 200 V 까지 변화시켜 $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ 와 MgO 는 $0.09{\sim}0.12$의 비슷한 이차 전자방출 계수를 측정하였다. AC- PDP 셀의 72 시간 열화실험 후 SEM 및 AFM으로 열화된 보호막의 표면을 관찰하여 기존의 단일 MgO 보호막과 $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$의 적층보호막의 열화특성을 살펴보았다.
