Studies on the efficient emission mechanism of plasma display panels

近年来，有报道表明等离子体显示板(PDP)在产生紫外光方面具有很高的效率。允许如此高效率的因素之一是脉冲宽度非常短。然而，短脉冲放电与其高效率之间的关系机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在通过对短脉冲放电的电子密度、电子温度等基本参数的测量，阐明短脉冲放电的机理。对模拟PDP放电的介质放电和电容耦合放电(CCD)进行了测量。证实了短脉冲放电对紫外光产生的改善，并对可能的原因进行了讨论。

Recently, there are some reports that show the high efficacy in the ultraviolet generation form the plasma display panels(PDP). One of the factors allowing such high efficacy is the pulse width to be very short. However, the mechanism how the short pulsed discharges are related with the high efficacy is not clear. This study aims to clarify the mechanism based on the measurements of basic parameters such as electron density and electron temperature of short pulsed discharges. Measurements were performed for the dielectric discharge simulating the PDP discharge and a capacity coupled discharge(CCD). It was confirmed that the short pulsed discharges for both realized improvements in the ultraviolet generation, ant possible causes for that are discussed.
