P-50: Excimer Gas Discharge Characteristics for Color AC-PDPs

We present the discharge characteristics of a rare gas halide mixture in AC- Plasma Display Panels. Studies for excimer gas of plasma display panels are performed using XeF. This excimer gas is investigated as function of its pressure and different discharge condition. In this paper, the real panel using XeF excimer gas is researched for good discharge characteristics and a full-color panel is demonstrated.

40.1: Invited Paper: The Dual Coplanar Electrode Mercury Free Flat Fluorescent Lamp

The authors introduce a dual coplanar electrode flat fluorescent lamp, which is basically the sum of two coplanar electrode lamps, one having the electrodes on the front plate and the other on the bottom plate. It has the same level of discharge stability as that in a usual coplanar lamp. And the results also indicate that the brightness and luminous efficacy improve largely for a dual coplanar lamp compared to a coplanar lamp because there is less diffusion loss for the dual coplanar lamp.

Luminous efficacy evaluation of XeI excimer for ACPDP

We demonstrate for the first time a luminous efficacy of a Xel excimer PDP comparable to that of a conventional Xe/Ne-mixture PDP using 6-in. ACPDPs. For the conventional PDP as a reference, a mixture of Xe:Ne = 4:96(%) with a total gas pressure of 60.0 kPa (450 torr) was used. For the Xel PDP, Ne-buffered mixtures with the same total gas pressure were tried, and a mixture of I 2 :Xe:Ne = 0.02:7.1:92.88 (%) showed an efficacy as high as that of the conventional Xe PDP.

P-62: Dielectric Material Properties of CaF2 for AC PDPs

We present the discharge characteristics of new dielectric layers in AC- plasma display panels. Studies for dielectric layer of plasma display panels are performed using CaF2. In this paper, the real panel using CaF2 dielectric layer is researched for material characteristics and discharge characteristics, and a color panel is demonstrated.

P‐19: New Barrier Rib Formation Technology by Electrophoresis

A ceramic microstructure for PDP barrier rib was prepared by new formation method applying micro machining and electrophoresis. Multi-component ceramic powder (SiO2-B2O3-PbO-X etc.) was deposited on a Cu layer patterned with PR in ethanol by DC electric field. Sintering accompanying the removal of PR produced barrier rib structure showed 100 μm height and width respectively.
