Abstract
A fundamental kinetic model is used to compare the luminous efficiency of different compositions of Ne-Xe, Xe-Xe and Ne-Xe-Ar mixtures in plasma display panels. Exact solutions of the kinetic Boltzmann equation in an homogeneous, unbounded system are used, accurately accounting for all known processes of excitation as well as ionization and other losses. A self-sustaining condition is used to estimate the breakdown electric field, Ek, accounting also for Penning ionization. The excitation frequency of Xe states, which emit UV photons is calculated for applied electric field values ranging from 0.2-5 Ek.
