Abstract

In order to study the preferred crystal orientations of Mg-Zr-O composite protective layers in PDP, Mg-Zr-O composite protective layers were deposited by Electron-beam Evaporator using (MgO+ZrO2) powder mixture as evaporation source material. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was used to determine preferred crystal orientations of Mg-Zr-O composite protective layers, surface morphologies of films were analyzed by FESEM and voltage characteristics were examined in a testing macroscopic discharge cell of AC-PDP. On the basis of experimental analysis, the influence of oxide addition and deposition conditions on preferred orientations of Mg-Zr-O composite protective layers were investigated. The results showed that the preferred orientations of Mg-Zr-O films were determined by lattice distortion of MgO crystal. The deposition conditions have great effects on the preferred orientations of Mg-Zr-O films. The preferred orientations affect voltage characteristics through affecting surface morphology of Mg-Zr-O films. A small amount of Zr solution in MgO can decrease firing voltage compared with using pure MgO film. Firing voltage is closely related with the [ ZrO2/(MgO+ZrO2)]ratio of evaporation source materials.
