TY - JOUR AU - Zhao, Lingli AB - A novel, uniform, continuous, atmospheric pressure plasma tunnel (APPT), which was 400 ×175 ×2 mm3, had been developed for surface treatment of flat panel display (FPD) glass substrates in-line at atmospheric pressure with gas mixtures containing argon and oxygen. The electrical properties of the glow plasma tunnel were presented by simultaneous measurement of current and voltage and the results showed that there were a big phase shift and big different amplitudes of current waveforms, which were due to the variation of the capacitance between the discharge electrodes, when the FPD glass substrate passed through the tunnel. The effects of the plasma treatment on the surface of the FPD glass substrate had also been studied by using contact angle measurement and scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The results showed that the wettability of the surface had an obvious improvement after the plasma treatment with the time of 10 second.
