The effective coefficient of secondary electron emission in plasma display panel

The effective secondary electron emission coefficient (SEEC) in a plasma display panel (PDP) is estimated by comparing the Paschen breakdown curves from simulations with the experiment. It is found that the effective SEEC in PDP is dependent on the ratio of electric field to pressure. The estimated values are 0.59/spl sim/0.79 for the pure Ne and 0.1/spl sim/0.13 for the Ne-Xe (96/4) mixture, respectively.
