Vacuum Ultraviolet Luminous Efficiency And Plasma Ion Density In Alternating Current Plasma Display Panels

The correlation between the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) luminous efficiency and the plasma ion density has been investigated in terms of the xenon mole fraction in the neon filling gas for alternating current plasma display panels. The VUV luminous efficiency and plasma ion density are found to have strong correlation and to be saturated at xenon mole fractions greater than 7% and gas pressures of 400 Torr.
