In this paper, a new barrier rib forming method of embossed barrier rib (EBR) formation process for the PDP rear panel was introduced. The process is mainly composed of green sheet fabrication, lamination of the green sheet on the rear glass panel having data electrodes, and roll embossing followed by firing. The EBR process has two advantages over the conventional barrier rib forming methods. One is the process requires less equipment investment than the conventional methods by about 20% of the current rear panel fabrication equipment investment owing to the simplified fabrication process. The other advantage is its reduced rear panel manufacturing cost by eliminating the time consuming and complicated processes and waste of materials in the conventional methods. In this study, general procedure of EBR fabrication process is described and the characteristics of prototype PDP using EBR panel are discussed.

A mixture which was made from organic gel, glass powder and ceramic powder was masklessly etched for fabrication of barrier rib of PDP(Plasma Display Panel) by focused Ar$^{+}$ laser( λ =514 nm) and Nd:YAG(λ =532, 266 nm) laser irradiation at the atmosphere. The depth of the etched grooves increases with increasing a laser fluence and decreasing a scan speed. Using second harmonic of Nd:YAG laser, the threshold laser fluence was 6.5 mJ/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for the sample of PDP barrier rib softened at 12$0^{\circ}C$. The thickness of 130 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of the sample on the glass was clearly removed without any damage on the glass substrate by fluence of 19.5 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$....

Up to date, the dual scanning method has been adopted to decrease address-ing period in AC PDP. In this case, addressing period can be reduced, but the driving circuit cost should be increased. In this study, to increase addressing speed we have studied the relationship between addressing speed and cell structure. That is to say, we varied the thickness of dielectric layer on the front glass, the thickness of white back and the height of barrier rib on the rear glass. So, we found that the addressing time was decreased 4% with decreasing 5um thickness of dielectric layer on the front glass and 2um thickness of white back on the rear glass. Also in case of decreasing the height of barrier rib, addressing time was decreased about 4% per 10um.

The addressing time should be reduced by modifying cell structure and/or driving method in order to replace the dual scan system by single scan and increase the luminance in large ac plasma display panel(PDP). In this paper, the effects of the addressing time was decreased with decreasing thickness of dielectric layer on the front glass and thickness of white dielectric layer on the rear glass. the decreasing rate were 160ns/10$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 270ns/10$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively Also in case of decreasing the height of barrier rib, addressing time was decreased at the rate of Sons/10$\mu\textrm{m}$.

The paste on the glass or fabrication of the PDP(Plasma Display Panel) barrier rib was selectively etched using focused A $r_{+}$ laser(λ=514 nm) and Nd:YAG(λ=532, 266 nm) laser irradiation. The depth of the etched grooves increase with increasing a laser fluence and decreasing a laser beam scan speed. Using second harmonic of Nd:YAG laser(532 nm) the etching threshold laser fluence was 6.5 mJ/c $m^2$ for the sample of PDP barrier rib. The thickness of 180 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of the sample on the glass was clearly removed without any damage on the glass substrate by fluence of 19.5J/c $m^2$beam scan speed of 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ /s. In order to increase the etch rate of the barrier rib material barrier rib samples heated by a resistive heater during laser irradiation. The heated sample has many defects and becomes to be fragile. This imperfection of the structure compared to the sample without heat treatment allows the effective etching by the focused laser beam. The etch rates were 65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s and 270 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s at room temperature and 20$0^{\circ}C$, respectively.y.

A new PDP barrier rib formation technique was investigated utilizing transparent soft maid made of silicon resin. Transparent soft mold was fabricated by pouring a silicone resin into the base mold made with photosensitive glass. The photosensitive barrier rib paste was coated on the glass substrate and dried in a 90 $^{\circ}C$ convection oven for 20min. The transparent soft mold was pressed on top of the semi-dry barrier rib layer and then irradiated with a UV lamp to a total dose of $900{\sim}1000mJ/cm^2$ The soft maid was then removed from the pressed barrier rib by winding up and fine pattern of barrier rib was obtained. The photosensitive barrier rib paste makes the demolding easy due to reduced interfacial forces and shrinking of paste materials.

We present a low temperature thermal process for the transparent dielectric layer, barrier rib, and white back dielectric layer on the soda-lime glass substrate of the PDP by the $TruNano^{TM}$ processor in combination with a compositional modification to the conventional dielectric pastes. By this method the firing temperature can be lowered by more than $100^{\circ}C$.

For the rib materials in PDP(plasma display panel), an effective method to improve the mechanical properties is to form a composite material by reinforcing a glass matrix with rigid fillers, such as alumina and titania powders. In this study, two types of ribs with different volume percent of fillers and with different glass matrix were tested for hardness, Young's modulus with the Berkovich indentation. As a result, cracks appeared around at the load of 1345 mN for the dense type of rib, while porous one endured until 2427 mN without any crack formation. Young's modulus and hardness decreased at the range: 90∼65 GPa, 9∼4 GPa, respectively as a function of indent load. Thus, a new method with nanoindenter represents a possible evaluation method for mechanical properties of barrier ribs.

The PDP(Plasma Display Panel) barrier rib was fabricated by focused $Ar^+$ laser ($\lambda$=514nm) and Nd:YAG($\lambda$=532, 266 nm) laser irradiation. The depth of the etched groove increases with increasing a laser fluence. and decreasing a scan speed. Using the second harmonic of the Nd:YAG laser, the threshold laser fluence was $6.5mJ/cm^2$ for the sample of PDP barrier rib dried at $120^{\circ}C$. The thickness of $150{\mu}m$ of the sample on the glass was etched without any damage on the glass substrate by fluence of $19.5J/cm^2$. The barrier rib sample on hot plate was etched by Nd:YAG laser(532 nm) as increasing a temperature of the sample.

Plasma Display Panel(PDP) is a type of flat panel display utilizing the light emission produced by gas discharge. Barrier Ribs of PDP separating each sub-pixel prevents optical and electrical crosstalks from adjacent sub-pixels. The mold for forming the barrier ribs has been newly researched to overcome the disadvantages of conventional manufacturing processes such as screen printing, sand-blasting and photosensitive glass methods. The mold for PDP barrier ribs have stripes of micro grooves transferring glass-material wall. In this paper, Stripes of grooves of which width 48${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, depth 124$\mu\textrm{m}$ , pitch 274$\mu\textrm{m}$ was acquired by machining of single crystal silicon with dicing saw blade. Maximum roughness of the bottom of the grooves was 59.6nm Ra in grooving Si. Barrier ribs were formed with silicone rubber mold, which is transferred from grooved Si forming hard mold. Silicone rubber mold has the elasticity, which enable to accommodate the waveness of lower glass plate of PDP. The methods assisted by the microwave and UV was adopted for reducing the forming time of glass paste.
