Abstract

We have investigated and analyzed the effects of the evaporation rate of MgO films on the MgO properties and the discharge characteristics of a plasma display panel(PDP). The MgO properties such as the crystal orientation, the surface roughness, the film structure, and cathode-luminescence (CL) spectra were inspected using XRD (X-ray diffraction), AFM(atomic force microscopy). And the discharging characteristics of the PDP such as the firing voltage, discharging current, and luminescence were measured using a vacuum chamber with oscilloscope (TDS 540C), current probe (TCP-312A), color meter (CS-100A) and etc. From the experiments results we confirmed the optimum evaporation rate at $5{\AA}/sec$, the MgO properties were shown to be strongly dependent on the evaporation rate, and the MgO properties had an effecton the optical and electrical characteristics. In other words, if the evaporation rates increase than $5{\AA}/sec$, the intensity of (200) orientation and cathode-luminescence (CL) spectra reduce, and the firing vlotage was increased. So the luminuous efficiency grows worse.

본 연구에서는 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널의 방전 특성과 MgO 보호막 물성에 영향을 미치는 MgO 증착률에 대해 분석을 하였다. 물성 특성으로 결정 방향과 표면 거칠기 결정 구조 및 음극선 발광을 XRD (X-ray Diffraction), AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), Mono-CL (Mono Cathode Luminescence analysis)등을 이용하여 측정하였고, 방전 특성으로는 방전개시전압과 방전 전류, 휘도를 진공 챔버와 오실로스코프 (TDS 540C), 전류 프로브 (TCP 312A), 휘도 색차계 (CS-100A)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험 결과 $5{\AA}/sec$의 증착률이 최적의 증착률임을 확인하였고, 또한 MgO의 증착률에 따라서 MgO 보호막의 물성특성이 변화하고 이에 의해서 전기적 광학적 특징이 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다. 즉, 증착률 $5{\AA}/sec$을 기준으로 증착률이 증가할수록 (200) 결정 방향 및 음극선 발광의 밀도가 감소되고, 동작 전압은 증가하며 점차 효율이 나빠지는 경향을 보인다.
