Efficiency improvement characteristics under exhaust method and Xe gas contents in AC plasma display panel

In this paper, two experiments were performed. One is that a Xe gas content is changed to increase luminance, the other is that an exhaust method is changed to decrease discharge voltage. As a result, if a Xe gas content was increased, discharge efficiency was improved. But, discharge voltage was increased. In order to improve this discharge voltage rise, high temperature exhaust method was employed by raising 20 °C than conventional exhaust temperature. Through this, the electrical and optical characteristics could be improved by reducing absorbed impurity gas including an organic ingredient in panel. If a Xe gas content was changed from 11% to 25% discharge efficiency was improved about 30%or more, and it was improved about 6% by high temperature exhaust method than conventional temperature exhaust method.
