Microplasma Current Switch

摘要

The concept of a microplasma current switch for a device operated in a current mode like organic light-emitting diodes, which features matrix addressability and current switching, is presented as well as its architecture and operational principle. To verify the concept, we have fabricated a 100 mm × 100 mm microplasma current switch panel with a cell pitch of 1080 μm × 1080 μm. The matrix addressability and current switching are confirmed. Moreover, the current-voltage measurements of the unit cell are carried out. They show the characteristic of an asymmetric floating double probe diagnosing plasmas.
