Abstract

The MgO protective layer provides protection from the discharge, lowers the discharge voltage and prolongs the AC-PDP lifetime. We have investigated the characteristics of degradation of MgO protective layer, which correlates to the image-sticking[1] and the lifetime in AC-PDP. The degraded MgO have been changed the surface morphology of MgO. It was found that panel lifetime depended on degradation of MgO protective.
