Investigation of Address Discharge and Efficiency Characteristics by Thickness of Phosphor Layer in Microplasma Cells

Abstract

This paper analyzes the address discharge characteristics in the red, green, and blue cells, respectively by using the Vt closed-curve analysis method. To reduce the difference of the address discharge delay among the R, G, and B cells, the effects of the phosphor thickness on the address discharge delay are examined. By controlling properly the phosphor thickness among the R, G, and B cells, the difference of the address discharge delay is observed to be minimized among the R, G, and B cells. In addition, the luminous efficacy was observed to be improving by increase the phosphor layer thickness.
