Abstract

One of the most serious problems in AC PDP is low luminous efficiency. One possible candidate for solving such a problem is using high Xe partial pressure. Increase of Xe percentages causes the driving voltage to rise, although brightness is increased. In this study, a new electrode structure is proposed to solve this problem. A test panel fabricated by using new electrode shows improvement of efficiency by 25% and reduction of sustain voltage by 20% compared with the conventional structure.
