Abstract

A high-efficacy alternating-current plasma display panel utilizing various electrode structures is simulated using a 3-D fluid code for the investigation of the effects of cell structures on the discharge characteristics of micro dielectric barrier discharges. For the modification of the conventional coplanar electrode structure, three suggested electrode structures were simulated, namely, a patterned bus electrode, a multilayer bus electrode, and a two-electrode facial discharge structure. The time evolutions of infrared radiation images for the three structures compare well with the experimental results of test panels. The ultraviolet and visible-light emission profiles, as well as the time evolution of wall charge profiles, are analyzed in order to explain the role of the electrode structure for the improvement of luminous efficacy.
