Abstract: A non-volatile memory device includes a sector pass/fail indicator circuit configured to store a pass/fail indicator for each sector in a first block of memory cells. The pass/fail indicator has a first value indicating the respective sector has failed erase verification and has a second value indicating the respective sector has passed erase verification. The sector pass/fail indicator circuit set the respective pass/fail indicators to the second value for one or more sectors in the first block after the respective sectors pass erase verification following a previous block erase operation of the first block. The first block is subjected to subsequent block erase operation where only word lines associated with the sectors having a pass/fail indicator having the first value are biased to the first bias voltage level.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory device includes a control circuit configured to perform a block erase operation including a block erase cycle and an erase verify cycle on a block of memory cells. The control circuit is configured to perform the erase verify cycle by storing a last verify address for each sector of the block of memory cells, verifying each memory cell in a sector starting from the last verify address for the sector until a memory cell has failed erase verification in that sector, storing the memory cell address of the failed memory cell as the last verify address for that sector, skipping the erase verification for the remaining memory cells in that sector, and continuing the erase verify cycle at a last verify address for the next sector.

Abstract: A plasma display panel (PDP) and the method for manufacturing the same. A method for manufacturing a plasma display panel includes forming electrodes along one direction on a substrate, applying the dielectric paste along the other direction perpendicular to the one direction of the electrodes on the substrate, drying the dielectric paste and firing the dried dielectric paste to form a dielectric layer. Only one swath is needed for the entire dielectric layer, saving time and production costs, while providing a superior quality layer. Accordingly, since the dielectric paste is applied along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the display electrodes, it is advantage that tack time and the number of cleaning the nozzle is reduced.

Abstract: A phosphor layer having improved contrast and brightness characteristics and a display device including the same are provided. The phosphor layer is made out of an ultra-fine pigment, a dispersant, a phosphor, a photosensitizer and a binder. The phosphor has a uniform distribution along the thickness of the phosphor layer, and the pigment varies in content over the thickness of the phosphor layer. A method of forming the phosphor layer is based on existing phosphor layer processes and includes a reduced number of processing steps than a filter screen method, thereby markedly lowering the manufacturing costs. The phosphor layer can be used in a cathode ray tube, a plasma display panel, a field emission display, and an organic electroluminescent device.
