Pore-free mold-pattern-transfer method for barrier ribs of HD PDPs

Abstract

Among various barrier-rib manufacturing processes, the mold-pattern-transfer method has potential to reduce processing cost as well as the manufacture of high-resolution pixels. In this study, the effects of major processing variables of the mold-pattern-transfer process on the formation of air-trapped pores within barrier ribs were examined. The results indicated that with an optimum combination of the processing variables, barrier ribs without trapped defects can be produced, demonstrating the possibility of reducing the number of processing steps and costs of barrier ribs.
