The present invention relates to a thermoelectric material and, specifically, to a thermoelectric material manufacturing method for increasing potential density. The thermoelectric material manufacturing method of the present invention can comprise the steps of: preparing a bulk thermoelectric material by using thermoelectric material raw materials; preparing a powder of the bulk thermoelectric material; adding, to the powder, a metal additive selected from the thermoelectric material raw materials; forming an intermediate in which the metal additive is dispersed in the thermoelectric material; and sintering same at at least the melting point temperature of the metal additive.

Thermoelectric material manufacturing method

The present invention relates to a thermoelectric material and, specifically, to a thermoelectric material capable of improving the figure of merit and a preparation method therefor. In the present invention, the thermoelectric material may comprise: a matrix compound having a composition of chemical formula 1 or 2; and particles having a composition of chemical formula 3 dispersed in the matrix compound. (AB)(BiSeTe), (CB)(BiSeTe), DE.

Thermoelectric material and preparation method therefor

A plasma display apparatus comprises a scan electrode and a sustain electrode; a data electrode for intersecting the scan electrode and the sustain electrode; and a pulse controller for controlling to apply a pulse having an opposite phase to the scan electrode and the sustain electrode during a reset period and apply a negative sustain pulse to the scan electrode and the sustain electrode during a sustain period, wherein a distance between the scan electrode and the sustain electrode is longer than that between the sustain electrode and the data electrode. Therefore, a surface discharge mode can be used even when applying negative pulses to the sustain electrode in a reset period, and a size and cost of a plasma display apparatus can be reduced by applying a negative pulse of the same magnitude as a sustain voltage without a separate negative voltage source.
