Spatiotemporal distribution of excited Xe density and electron temperature in alternating current plasma display panel by laser absorption and emission spectroscopy

Summary form only given. We have investigated the spatiotemporal behavior excited Xe atoms density in the 1s
₅
metastable states by laser absorption spectroscopy and electron temperature by emission spectroscopy, respectively, in accordance with various barrier ribs and xenon contents. The maximum density of excited Xe atoms in the 1s

in discharge cell with stripe type and closed type barrier rib have been measured to be 1.28 x 10

and 1.45 x 10

, respectively. In this experiment, the maximum value of excited Xe atoms density is not different much in different ribs. However, the distribution with spatiotemporal behavior is more uniform in the closed type barrier rib than stripe type rib. Throughout this experiment, we could understand influence of barrier rib and xenon contents on the excited xenon density and electron temperature in micro discharge cell.
