Abstract

AbstractThe first observation of striation in plasma display panel (PDP) cell by kinetic and fluid simulations is presented. The striation phenomenon in the kinetic simulation is clearer than that in fluid simulation. The striation is due to the self‐consistent interaction of plasma, dielectric wall, and applied voltages. Simulation results indicate that the phenomenon occurs due to the non‐uniform accumulation of surface charges on the sustain electrodes, which consequently deform the local potential profile. The surface and space charges locally create multiple‐tier potential distribution near anode region that makes plasma bunches. The discharge in this region is governed by ionization process, but the cathode discharge depends on the secondary‐electron emission process on the dielectric surface. Based on these discharge characteristics, 80 % efficiency increase of PDP cell is obtained due to triggered striation by the modification of front dielectric material and MgO protective‐layer.
