Abstract

In this study, water jet etching of aqueous green tape was attempted for processing barrier rib of plasma display panel. This process combines 1) chemical etching between water and aqueous based binder in the tape and 2) mechanical erosion by water jet. Effects of etching parameters such as pressure, temperature and aqueous binder content on the morphology of barrier ribs formed were investigated. The results demonstrated a possibility of processing barrier ribs by water jet etching.
