Analysis on failure of the panel glass under mechanical shock is the main topic of this study. Since the glass for the LCD panel is thin, it needs to be designed to have enough toughness against mechanical shock. In this paper, a process of estimating fracture of the panel glass is proposed to guarantee reliability of the product. The fracture toughness of the panel glass is used as a criterion of the fracture based on an experimental approach. The stress intensity factor was calculated considering a model with the largest initial crack size on a cut surface and with the boundary force obtained from a dynamic finite element analysis. Critical surface roughness on the cut surface of a typical glass panel, to prevent fracture in case of bending mode, is obtained.

The area of flat glass panel displays such as LCD (Liquid crystal display) and PDP (Plasma display panel) has been increased more than 2 $\times$ 2 m$^2$ for productivity improvement. However, such a large panel area incurs large panel deflection during panel transfer using robots or AGV (Automated guided vehicle) systems. Therefore, electronic industries are making an effort to find an alternative transfer system for the large glass panels with small deflection. The air conveyor with porous pads is one plausible solution, but it becomes expensive because the large porous pads cost much and air consumption increases as the panel area increases. In this work, a simple air slit levitating conveyor was devised to lower the equipment cost and to reduce the air consumption of system. The air flow model between the LCD glass panel and conveyor was constructed and its validity was verified by experiments. To minimize the air consumption, the conveyor dimensions were optimized, and the air consumptions between the air conveyors with the air slit and that with the porous pad were compared.

A new display device is required, which has concepts of flatness and slimness. FED can be one of the solutions. When we use flat panel, we can save the raw material and reduce the production time by eliminating the printing process, drying process, and washing process. In this case, good panel flatness and consistency with panel flatness and black matrix is the precondition. Therefor, we analyzed process capability of panel flatness and regression between panel flatness and BM position by experiments.

A sub-field rearrangement driving method has been proposed to reduce a DFC (Dynamic False Contour) phenomenon in plasma display panels. The proposed driving method expresses 256 gray levels with 16 sub-fields, while conventional one uses only 8 sub-fields. Notwithstanding the increase in the number of sub-fields, the display time is similar to the conventional 8 sub-fields driving method by appropriate choosing selective writing and selective erasing for sub-fields.

Presented herein is a novel stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) display system with active color filter glasses. This system provides full-color 3D images by applying the time-multiplexing technique on the original anaglyph method. By switching between the opposite anaglyph statuses, a full-color anaglyph is presented. A liquid crystal panel from a 3D monitor serves as an active color filter operating at 120 Hz. A display panel and a color filter are connected to one graphic card as a dual-link system, for synchronization. To test the quality of this system, a left/right-eye image separation test and an experiment with stereoscopic images were carried out. Although there was some crosstalk and blur, the system, as expected, provided full-color 3D display. This system overcomes a monochromatic 3D image, which is the major weakness of the original anaglyph system.

Over the years, plasma display panel (PDP) manufacturers have impressed the flat panel display industry with yet another new product essentially having the merits of a larger screen size. Since larger size implies higher power ratings, voltage/current ratings of the power devices used have become a rising concern. Another important concern is the brightness of PDP, one way of increasing which is by operating the PDP at higher frequencies. In order to address the above issues, a transformer coupled sustain-driver for AC-PDP is proposed During the transition time, the two windings of the transformer greatly boost up the displacement current flowing through the panel capacitance and hence enable a fast inversion of the voltage polarity with practical values of resonant inductance. In the proposed topology, the resonant inductance can be increased by a factor of $(n+1)^2$ as compared to prior approaches. Increased inductance results in lower current stresses. Moreover, high frequency operation is possible by using higher value of n (turn ratio of the transformer). The operational principle and design procedure of the proposed circuit are presented with theoretical analysis. The validity of the proposed sustain driver is established through simulation and experimental results using a 42-in PDP

2.22-inch qVGA $(240{\times}320)$ amorphous silicon thin film transistor liquid active matrix crystal display (a-Si TFT-AMLCD) panel has been successfully demonstrated employing a 2.5 um fine-patterning technology by a wet etch process. Higher resolution 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel with an aperture ratio of 58% can be fabricated as the 2.5 um fine pattern formation technique is integrated with high thermal photo-resist (PR) development. In addition, a novel concept of unique a-Si TFT process architecture, which is advantageous in terms of reliability, was proposed in the fabrication of 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel. Overall results show that the 2.5 um fine-patterning is a considerably significant technology to obtain higher aperture ratio for higher resolution a-Si TFT-LCD panel realization.

In the alternative current plasma display panel(AC-PDP) technology, it is very important to remove the image sticking for improving an image quality. In this paper, we have investigated the driving method of alternative current plasma display panel(AC-PDP) for preventing image sticking. We have investigated the driving method of alternative current plasma display panel(AC-PDP) for preventing image sticking. The preventing method of image sticking was proposed by adopting the Sticking Remove Pulse(SRP). The variation of brightness is most affected by the MgO to be formed at the surface of the phosphor layer. As a result, the image sticking is reduced when the driving method adopted an SRP.

A new high-performance and low cost single switch energy recovery display driver for an AC plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed. Since it is composed of only one auxiliary power switch, two small inductors, and eight diodes compared with the conventional circuit consisting of four auxiliary power switches, two small inductors, eight power diodes, and two external capacitors, it features a much simpler structure and lower cost. Nevertheless, since the rootmean-square (RMS) value of the inductor current is very small, it also has very desirable advantages such as n low conduction loss and high efficiency. Furthermore, there are no serious voltage-drops caused by the large gas-discharge current with the aid of the discharge current compensation, which can also greatly reduce the current flowing through power switches and maintain the panel to light at n lower sustaining voltage. In addition, all main power switches are turned on under the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and thus, the proposed circuit has a improved EMI, increased reliability, and high efficiency. Therefore, the proposed circuit will be well suited to the wall hanging PDP TV. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, circuit operations, features,and design considerations are presented and verified experimentally on a 6-inch PDP, 50kHz-switching frequency, and sustaining voltage 141V based prototype.

This paper presents a study on the tubeless Plasma Display Panel (PDP) packaging using glass-to-glass electrostatic bonding with intermediate amorphous silicon. The bonded sample sealing the mixed gas with three species showed high strength ranging from 2.5 MPa to 4 MPa. The glass-to-glass bonding for packaging was performed at a low temperature of $180^{\circ}C$ by applying bias of 250 $V_{dc}$ in ambient of mixed gases of He-Ne(27 %)-Xe(3 %). The tubeless packaging was accomplished by bonding the support glass plate of $30mm{\times}50mm$ on the rear glass panel and the capping glass of $20mm{\times}20mm$. The 4-inch color AC-PDP with thickness of 8 mm was successfully fabricated and fully emitted as white color at a firing voltage of 190V.
