3‐D simulation of T‐shaped electrode and comparison of results with experiments

Abstract Numerical simulation is one of the most useful tools to study gas discharge phenomena that occur in alternating current plasma display panel (AC‐PDP) cell. Most PDP cell simulations have been performed for two‐dimensional cell, is cross‐section along the address electrode. We developed a three‐dimensional PDP simulator and applied it to a T‐shaped electrode cell in order to show the effects of sustain electrode shape that cannot be included in two‐dimensional simulation. The dependence of power consumption on electrode shape and area in the simulation showed the same trend as experiment.

10.1: Application of the New Panel Structure for High Luminous Efficiencyin AC-PDPs

A new PDP cell structure called CSP (Charge Storage Pad) improves the luminous efficiency by 1.6 times and prevents cross talk between adjacent cells. The CSP, which is a conducting material, is inserted between the dielectric layer and the MgO film in the front plate. This CSP produces a longer time-averaged discharge path to get a high luminous efficiency and confines the discharge to prevent cross talk
