The improvement of luminous efficacy is one of the major issues in PDP industry. In this work, we propose the new driving method for high efficiency AC-PDP and analyze its discharge characteristics. The suggested method can control the effective capacitance of panel by external auxiliary capacitor. External capacitor induces reduction of gap voltage proportional to the panel current, this in turn modifies the transient behaviour of discharge. The peak current level is reduced and the discharge duration is increased. As a result of these modifications, the luminous efficacy is enhanced by about 200% compared with the conventional driving method

Until now, there is no report for the relationship between the condition of addressing and the characteristics of surface discharge in ac-PDP. We have known that such these experiment was important to drive ac PDP Therefore, this paper deals with the probability of transfer and the character of luminance according to addressing voltage(Va) and blocking voltage(Vg) in addressing period and sustain voltage in sustaining period and we use waveform according to ADS(Address and Display period Separation) method

This research concerns the ADS drive method of 3 electrodes AC PDP and is determined the minimum pulse width of the address and the sustain, which the steady sustain discharge without decreasing luminance can be obtained. From the experimental result, if the address pulse width became $1.5[{\mu}s]$ or more a effective address discharge with the operating margin of 35[V] was possible. And if the sustain pulses width became $2[{\mu}s]$ or more, a steady sustain discharge with the operation margin of 25[V] was possible. When this condition is applied to Full-HDTV class PDP with the in lines of horizontal scanning lines, 8 sub-fields and total 1420 sustain pulses can be used.

MgO has been used as the material of the protecting layer for AC PDP. AC PDP is influenced by characteristics of the surface glow discharge on the MgO thin film. Because MgO thin film is practically discharge electrodes, the discharge characteristics of MgO thin film should be varied with the method of deposition. In this study, changing order and time of deposition, we use electron beam evaporation system and R.F reactive magnetron sputtering system in the MgO deposition. Particularly, after using electron beam evaporation system, we use R.F. reactive magnetron sputtering system in the MgO deposition, then we could get lower amount of charge and higher luminance efficiency than only using electron beam evaporation system.

We reported an AC PDP structure with grooved front panel dielectric layer. The structure exhibits low breakdown voltage, better luminance, and better endurance to crosstalk in high Xe contents. It also shows less luminous efficacy then conventional structure because of the thinner dielectric layer, but we can apply the higher Xe contents to the grooved dielectric structure, which results in the higher luminous efficacy. We made experiments with the Xe contents from 4 to16% and total gas pressure from 400 to 600Torr. The grooved dielectric structure shows the improvement of 20% luminous efficacy and 17% luminance. The firing voltages lower about 40V at 600Torr and Xe 12, 16%. The discharge characteristics of grooved dielectric structure are verified also with 2D simulation.

본 연구에서는 표시방전 유지펄스의 개수와 폭의 변화에 따른 표시방전의 휘도특성을 측정하였다. 실험결과, 1TV 필드 동안 인가되는 표시방전 유지펄스의 개수가 증가할수록 휘도는 완만한 포화곡선을 나타내며 증가하였고 펄스의 폭은 좁아질수록 휘도가 증가하였다. 그리고 펄스폭에 대한 휘도의 증가 정도는 펄스의 개수가 증가할수록 커졌다. 그러나 하나의 펄스에 대한 휘도는 오히려 감소하므로 표시방전 유지펄스의 개수나 폭을 늘리는 데는 한계가 있음을 알았다.

In this paper, We measured an electric and optical characteristics for electrodeless fluorescent lamp system. We used the CCD(charged couple device) and Integrating Sphere Photometer to detect the accurate variation of data and got a characteristic of output voltage and current, luminance, luminous flux etc. And then we come to understand that the efficiency of electrodeless fluorescent lamps are similar to CFLs(compact fluorescent lamp) or HID(high intensity discharge lamp).

In this paper we proposed a new electrode design to get an enhanced luminous efficiency in AC PDP. The width and shape of the TTO electrode were varied, and the electro-optical properties such as luminance, power consumption, luminous efficiency were estimated with the variation of frequency, duty ratio and applied voltage. The discharge characteristics were investigated to explain the effect of the new electrode structure on the electro-optical properties.

In this paper, we studied Surface Discharge Type Flat Fluorescent Lamp with High Luminance for LCD Backlighting, Liquid Crystal display(LCDs) demand the use of fluorescent lamp as the backlighting source. This lamp is Surface Discharge Type structure with a pair of Sodalime glass, insulator layer, phosphor layer, and Xe gas gap. In spite of its simple structure, the lamp has uniform and stable discharge over entire volume. Till now, we measured the current-voltage(V-I), Firing Voltage, Sustain Voltage for 0.5mm, 1mm electrode gap. In experiment result, long gap cell structure cause high firing voltage. The rising in firing voltage in long gap structure could not be explained by paschen's law because of non-uniform electric field.

A Highly efficient Mercury-free Flat Fluorescent Lamp (MFFL) with dielectric barrier Xe gas discharge was developed for an alternative of conventional line-type Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFLs) which shows a wide voltage margin and a stable discharge operation for diffuse glow discharge with an application of a auxiliary electrode. Electro-optic characteristics of the MFFL were examined through the changes in ambient temperature, total pressure and Xe partial pressure. the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a large sized lamp by a simple repetition of the single cells, and a new driving scheme is proposed for an adaptive brightness control using dual auxiliary electrodes and bi-polar drive scheme. In addition, interesting application of this ultra high luminance flat lamp by the optimization of the gas condition and the pattern of the rear phosphor layer is suggested as a good alternative of daylight lamp source
