Characteristics of Ne-Xe microplasma in unit discharge cell of plasma display panel equipped with counter sustain electrodes and auxiliary electrodes

摘要: The performance of a new structure plasma display panel (PDP) cell with counter sustain electrodes was diagnosed by optical emission and laser absorption spectroscopic measurements the spatiotemporal behaviours microplasma. Two different types panels were prepared: one only other additional data auxiliary on rear front plates. By using cells former type, basic measured as dependences Xe concentration in Ne, total pressure applied voltage. It seen that higher advantageous for luminous efficiency although required minimum voltage became larger. latter type cell, effects driving schemes investigated varying potentials onto electrodes. found role electrode is remarkable; discharge expands largely when width pulses to are optimized be 200 V 0.3 µs, respectively, while grounded. production atoms metastable (1s5) resonance (1s4) states derived from absolute densities normalized input power per decay rates those densities. vacuum ultraviolet estimated results compared between tested conditions, noticeable improvement recognized condition, about 40% larger than conventional condition without pulses. also this potentially superior coplanar currently used commercial PDPs.
