We have fabricated a carbon nanotube field emission display(CNT FED) panel with a 2 inch diagonal size by using screen printing method and vacuum in-line sealing technology. The sealing temperature of the panel was around 390 $^{\circ}C$ and the leak test was carried out for 72 hrs after sealing process. When field emission properties of fabricated and sealed CNT FED panel were characterized and compared with those of unsealed panel which was located in vacuum chamber of vacuum level similar with the sealed panel, the sealed panel showed more improved field emission properties.

A carbon nanotube field emission display (CNT FED) panel with a 2 inch diagonal size was fabricated through screen printing of a prepared photo-sensitive CNT paste and vacuum in-line sealing technology. After surface treatment of the patterned CNT, only the carbon nanotube tips are uniformly exposed on the surface. The diameter of the exposed CNTs are usually about 20nm. The sealing temperature of the panel is around 390 $^{\circ}C$ and the vacuum level is obtained with $1.4{\times}10^{-5}$torr at the sealing. The field emission properties of the diode type CNT FED panel are characterized. Currently, we are in the process of developing a triode type CNT FED with a self-aligned gate-emitter structure.

This paper focuses on the fundamental issues for improving the efficiency and throughput of the AC PDP (Plasma Display Panel) manufacturing. The properties of the MgO protective layer affect the PDP efficiency. Especially, the secondary electron emission efficiency was affected on the deposition rate of MgO during the evaporation. In this study, the deposition rate of 5 $\AA$/s has given the maximum efficiency value of 0.05 It is demonstrated that the impurity gases such as $H_2O$, $CO_2$, CO or $N_2$, and $O_2$ can be remained inside the PDP panel before sealing and the amount of the impurity gases decreased rapidly as the base vacuum level increased, especially near $10^{-5}$ torr. The fundamental solution in order to overcome these problems is the vacuum in-line sealing process from the MgO evaporation to the final sealing of the panel without breaking the vacuum. We have demonstrated this fundamental process technology and shown the feasibility. The firing voltage was reduced down to 285 V at the base vacuum value of $10^{-6}$ torr, whreras it was about 328 V at the base vacuum value of $10^{-3}$ torr.

AC PDP with MgO protective layer coated with the optimum evaporation rate of $5{\AA}/s$ can generate more enhanced efficiency through the vacuum in-line sealing process. However, the optimized process conditions still require the optimum driving scheme on the ramp-up and ramp-down slope of the reset waveform for enhancing the efficiency. In this paper, for the in-situ vacuum sealed PDP with the optimum evaporation rate of MgO protective layer, the address delay time was investigated with various slopes of ramp waveform during a reset ramp-up and ramp-down period. In this study, the minimum statistical delay time was obtained at the ramp-up rate of $6.0 V/{\mu}s$ and the ramp-down rate of $0.7 V/{\mu}s$ of the reset waveform.

For vacuum seated panel, stresses and displacements in the glass plate were calculated. The geometric variables for our experiment were the thickness of glass plate, the size of panel and the width of sealing line. The fracture behaviors and displacements of its under the vacuum were measured. From the measurement of strains and fracture, it was considered that the maximum stress acted at the middle of the sides of the panel. The stresses and displacement distribution of manufactured panels were greatly dependent on the width of the sealing line in the panel. The measured values are more similar to the values which were calculated from the condition of built-in edge as the width of the sealing line is larger. The measured displacement of the panel, made of 3mm thick glass plate, with size of $80\Times120\textrm{mm}^2$ and 20mm sealing line was $57\mu\textrm{m}$. This value is similar to calculated value, $54\mu\textrm{m}$, from built- in edge condition in the finite element method.

By using vacuum in-line driving and photoluminescence measuring method, we have observed the electrical and optical characteristics of the vacuum in-line sealing technology and analyzed the effect of the base vacuum level before filling the plasma gas. In the case of base vacuum level of $1{\times}10^{-3}$torr, the firing voltage of a 2-inch diagonal PDP panel was ranged from 310 to 345V depending on the plasma gas pressure of 200 to 300torr and luminous efficiency was ranged from 0.0227 to 0.0367 lm/W depending on the input voltage level of 330 to 225V. While, in the case of $1{\times}10^{-6}$, the characteristics were significantly improved. As a results, the firing voltage was ranged from 295 to 318V and luminous efficiency was from 0.0278 to 0.0451 lm/W.

We have fabricated a carbon nanotube field emission display(CNT-FED) panel with a 2 inch diagonal size using a screen printing method and in-situ vacuum sealing technology. The field emission properties of CNT FED panel with square-type CNT emitters. As results, the square-characterized and compared with those of the line-type CNT emitters. As results, the square-type CNT emitters showed much larger emission current and more stable I-V characteristics. Light emission started to be occurred at an electric field of 3.5 V/${\mu}m$ corresponding to the anode-cathode voltage of 700 V. The vacuum level inside of the in-situ vacuum sealed panel was obtained with $1.4 {\times} 10^{-5}$ torr. The sealed panel showed the similar I-V characteristics with the unsealed one and the uniform light emission with very high brightness at a current density of $243 {\mu}A/ cm^2$ obtained by the electric field of 10 V/${\mu}m$.
