Abstract
The discharge characteristics of the coplanar and face-to-face sustain electrode structures were examined. The visible spectrum (VIS) of a Ne emission of 585 nm and infrared (IR) of 823 and 828 nm were observed under the two different coplanar and face-to-face structures of the 6-inch test panel with non-phosphor discharge cell. The IR(Xe)/VIS(Ne) plot was used to calculate the discharge efficiency in the PDP-cell. In a coplanar sustain electrode structure, the intensity ratio between the IR(Xe) and VIS(Ne) was relatively low, whereas in a face-to-face sustain electrode structure, the intensity ratio between the IR(Xe) and VIS(Ne) was very high. In a coplanar electrode structure, the distribution of the IR(Xe) and VIS(Ne) was localized on the coplanar electrode near the space between the two sustain electrode, whereas in the face-to face sustain electrode structure, the distribution of the IR(Xe) and VIS(Ne) was broad over the entire discharge region area. Finally, as a result of the integration of the IR(Xe)/VIS(Ne) distribution, the discharge efficiency of the face-to-face sustain electrode structure was improved by about 2.5 times than that of the coplanar sustain electrode structure.
