摘要
We have used a commercially available monochrome plasma display panel (PDP) to study the electrical and optical properties of PDP's, The monochrome PDP was filled with helium at a pressure of 0.5 atm with the visible light emission observed directly from the gas discharge. The PDP is driven bg an ac voltage source, operating at similar to 130 V at 50 kHz, With nanosecond resolution we have measured the current in the panel and the spectrally resolved light emission from the panel as a function of applied voltage. This study of a helium-filled conventional PDP is designed to provide data needed for improved modeling calculations of the plasma discharge, The ultimate goal is to achieve improved designs and efficacies for large-screen color PDP's.
