This paper proposes a new multi-level energy recovery sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel), which solves the problems and maintains the merits of the conventional multi-level sustaining driver. While the conventional circuit improves the hard switching in the Weber circuit, there exist parasitic resonant currents in resonant inductors and Vs/2 sustaining period. Comparing the proposed circuit with the conventional circuit, the number of inductors are reduced by half, the parasitic resonant currents in resonant inductors are eliminated, and the hard switching problem is solved by CIM(Current Injection Method). Moreover the voltages across series-connected switching elements in the full bridge circuit are distributed equally by adopting NPC(Neutral Point Clamping) techniques. And circuit operations of the proposed circuit are analyzed for each mode and the validity is verified by the simulations using PSpice program and experimentation with a prototype drive circuit.

The contact resistivity of the black interlayer which has been introduced between BUS and ITO electrodes in a plasma display panel was evaluated using two kinds of specially designed test electrode patterns. Of the two, type 2 pattern was able to evaluate the contact resistivity more successfully, which was calculated as about $250{\Omega}$ in the suggested test pattern structure.

The use of high Xe content gas is a powerful method for improving the discharge efficacy in PDP, but the accompanying high driving voltage prevents it from being used aggressively. In this paper, we tried to find a method to lower the driving voltage under high Xe gas condition with a new protecting layer. The effective secondary electron emission caused by Xe ions can result in the low voltage driving in panels with high Xe content gas and more importantly high luminous efficacy which were confirmed with the computer simulation and panel experiment.

A simple sustain driver employing an energy recovery function is proposed as a highly efficient driver of a plasma display panel. The proposed driver uses dual resonance in the sustaining mode operation: a main resonance between an inductor and an external capacitor to produce alternative pulses and a sub-resonance between an inductor and a panel to recover the energy consumption by the capacitive displacement current of the PDP. The operational principle and design procedure of the proposed circuit are presented with theoretical analysis. The operation of the proposed sustain driver is verified through simulation and experiments based on a 7.5-inch-diagonal panel with a 200 KHz operating frequency.

Short channel a-Si:H TFT devices with Cu electrodes have been investigated. Short channel TFTs are defined by new plasma etch process. When the channel length becomes shorter, the TFT characteristics (threshold voltage, off current, sub threshold voltage, etc.,) are degraded. These degraded characteristics can be improved through the hydrogen plasma treatment and new gate insulator structure. Using these processes, 15.0 inch XGA LCD panel was fabricated successfully where the channel length of the TFT devices was about 2.5 micrometers.

A transparent plasma display was developed using transparent glass barrier ribs. Glass barrier ribs were fabricated via a wet etching process. Glass barrier ribs created using a top and bottom etching process showed better transparency compared to those created through only a top etching process. A see-through phosphor layer was obtained by coating the sidewall of the barrier ribs with a conventional opaque phosphor. A fabricated prototype of a transparent plasma display was clear enough to see the background beyond the panel and was well operated by a conventional driving scheme. The maximum luminance was 1150 cd/$m^2$ and the maximum luminous efficacy was 1.35 lm/W in a Ne+13.5%Xe gas-mixture and green cells.

Transparent dielectric layer having color-filter function in front panel for PDP(Plasma Display Panel) was successfully fabricated and characterized. Transparent dielectric layer in front panel was made of glass based on $PbO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ ternary system. The change of properties with content variation of oxide colorants in transparent dielectric layer having color-filter function was systematically accessed. It was demonstrated that the optimized content of oxide colorants to parent glass could greatly increase up contrast ratio and color temperature without significantly degrading luminance.
