  • Patent number: 10670653
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device tester includes contact probes. A liner is formed upon the contact probes. The liner includes a matrix of an electrical conductor and glass. The conductor of the liner provides for the contact probe to be electrically connected to the IC device contact. The glass of the liner prevents IC device contact material adhering thereto. The liner may be formed by applying a conductive glass frit upon a probe card that includes the probe contacts and locally thermally conditioning the conductive glass frit upon contact probes. By locally thermally conditioning the conductive glass frit, the temperature of the probe card may be maintained below a critical temperature that damages the probe card.

  • Patent number: 7969092
    Abstract: A single substrate AC and/or DC gas discharge (plasma) display device comprised of hollow microspheres containing ionizable gas at a predetermined pressure, each microsphere being positioned on the surface of the substrate or within a substrate cavity, well, or hollow. Each microsphere is in electrical contact with 2, 3, or more electrodes. The AC or DC gas discharge within each microsphere emits photons in the visible and/or invisible range. In one embodiment, photons from the gas discharge within a microsphere excite a luminescent substance or material such as a phosphor that emits photons in the visible and/or invisible spectrum. The microsphere may contain the luminescent substance or the substance may be located separately from, but in close proximity to, the microsphere.

  • Patent number: 7919922
    Abstract: Provided are a green phosphor for a plasma display panel (PDP) represented by Formula 1 and a PDP including a phosphor layer formed of the same: (Y1-x-yGdx)Al3(BO3)4:Tby??Formula 1 where 0?x<1, 0<y<1 and 0<x+y<1. The luminance saturation characteristic of a green phosphor layer can be improved using the green phosphor for a PDP according to the present embodiments, and the green phosphor can also be mixed with conventionally used green phosphors. Image quality can be improved according to a mixing rate of the green phosphor and conventionally used green phosphors since color reproduction range widens and luminance does not decrease compared to using the conventional green phosphors.

  • Patent number: 7906907
    Abstract: A Plasma Display Panel (PDP) includes: a first substrate and a second substrate, a plurality of barrier ribs disposed between the substrates to define discharge cells and including single walled barrier ribs and double walled barrier ribs, a plurality of discharge electrodes disposed on portions of the panel corresponding to the barrier ribs to supply a discharge voltage to the discharge cells, and phosphor layers formed in the discharge cells. The barrier ribs include single wall barrier ribs and double wall barrier ribs. The discharge electrodes disposed on the single wall barrier ribs are commonly used to generate a discharge in the adjacent discharge cells, and thus, discharge areas can be extended. Also, since the discharge spaces of the discharge cells are asymmetrically formed, the brightness of discharge cells that have a relatively low brightness can be increased.
