Abstract
A ray-tracing model is developed for accurate optical simulation of
plasma display panel (PDP). Thorough spectroscopic characterization of materials
properties is carried out, based on which four types of material models of
PDP layer materials are developed and incorporated in the cell model. Four
test panels with different bus electrode structures are fabricated, the geometrical
structure of which is measured and reflected in the ray-tracing model. Plasma
fluid simulation is carried out to derive the spatial distribution of the
ultraviolet light in the cell and the total number of Xe species. Simulation
results show that the simulated panel reflectances are consistent with the
experimental values within 3% error. In addition, the normalized angular luminance
profiles obtained by simulation agree well with the measured results. However,
the on-axis luminance value of the PDP panel, which is affected by both optical
and plasma simulation, cannot be predicted accurately by this study.
