Plasma Display Panel is a display device emitting fluorescent light from gas discharge between a front and a rear panel sealed together. Front and rear panel have multitude of film layers and barrier ribs in the rear panel has the largest area so releasing various gases and affecting light emitting characteristics and lifetime. The remaining gases in a barrier rib were studied by thermal desorption analysis up to $400^{\circ}C$ and main gases were $H_2$ $H_2$O, CO. During sustaining at $300^{\circ}C$, the outgassing rates from other gases were decreased but$ H_2$ kept constantly increasing until 1 hour, which can be originated from the dissociation of organics remained in the inside of barrier rib material. In $H_2$O, two distinct peaks were observed: desorption from physically adsorbed one at $l00^{\circ}C$ and from chemically adsorbed one $400^{\circ}C$. The result can be utilized in interpretation of electronic and optical characteristics and evacuation process control of PDP

PDP에 사용되는 유전체, 격벽재, 봉착재 등의 glass들은 모두 PbO를 다량 함유하는 저융점 유리조성계로 되어있다. 최근 환경규제에 따라 Pb 대체 재료의 개발이 필요하게 되었으며, 그에 대한 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 투명 유전체를 겨냥한 저융점 이면서 무해한 3성분계 Pb-free 유리를 제조하였다. 또한 SnO 계 유리와의 혼합 용융에 의한 영향을 고찰하였으며, 유리로서의 고유물성과 응용용도별 특성을 함께 고찰하였다.

We investigated the effect of ZnO filler on the microstructure of $BaO-B_2O_3-ZnO-P_2O_5$ glass system to find an etching mechanism of barrier ribs. The sintering behavior of composites heated in the temperature range $560-600^{\circ}C$ was studied by volumetric shrinkage rate and microstructure. The etching test was carried out in $HNO_3$ solution at $50^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The volumetric shrinkage of sintered sample decreased with the increased firing temperature because of the formation of two crystals. Glass and ZnO filler react forming the $BaZn_2(PO_4)_2$ crystal phases during the sintering process. Etching phenomenon of sintered samples by $HNO_3$ showed that the $BaZn_2(PO_4)_2$ crystal phase was strongly leached compared to glass matrix, crystal phases and fillers. Therefore, the control of interface by condition of sintering is so important to achieve etching effect in barrier ribs.

For the application of the photosensitive barrier ribs with optimal properties such as glass transition temperature, refractive index and coefficient thermal expansion, the boro-silicate glasses was studied. The glass transition temperature, coefficient thermal expansion, and refractive index of the glasses based on the $B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass system have been investigated with the different ratio of BaO/$Na_2O$ and $B_2O_3/Na_2O$. Increasing the ratio of $B_2O_3/Na_2O$ was led to the increase of coefficient thermal expansion and the decrease of glass transition temperature. The increase of refractive index of boro-silicate glasses increased with the density of glasses. We suggest the empirical equation for the prediction of refractive index with the glass density, $n=0.123{\rho}+1.182$ with 0.042 as the standard deviation in the boro-silicate glass system. The aim of the present paper is to give a basic result of the thermal and optical properties for designing the composition of photosensitive barrier ribs in PDP.
