The characteristics of the reset and the address discharges of an alternating current Plasma Display Panel (ac PDP) were studied using 2-dimensional numerical discharge cell simulation. We investigated the wall charge variations during the reset discharge adopting ramping reset pulse and the subsequent addressing discharge. The roles of the ramping reset scheme can be divided into two stages, each electrode gathers wall charges during ramping-up of the initial stage and the built-up wall charges are lost during ramping-down of the later stage. Address discharge does not only change the wall charge distributions on the address and the scan electrodes but also on the sustain electrode. The increase in the wall charges on the sustain electrode was observed with the variation of the applied voltage to the sustain electrode during the address period. The increase of the applied voltage to the sustain electrode during the address period is expected to induce the decrease of the sustain voltage during the display period.

Single-sustainer driving is an AC PDP driving scheme to reduce the circuitry by maintaining the sustain electrode at ground level. To date, however, the research on the discharge characteristics in such driving scheme is insufficient. In this study, the panel performance and discharge characteristics of the single-sustainer driving scheme were observed while varying the address electrode condition. In single-sustainer driving, the address electrode is strongly involved in the sustain discharge when the former is maintained at ground level, and the dependence of the luminous efficacy on the sustain voltage is different from that in the conventional driving scheme. The dependence of the luminous efficacy on the sustain voltage appeared similar, however, to that in the conventional driving scheme when the address electrode was floated in single-sustainer driving. In the investigation of the temporal evolution of the sustain discharge using an IICCD camera, it was found that the sustain discharge in single-sustainer driving with a floating address electrode is similar to that in the conventional driving scheme, and the strong plasma formation region was located in the vicinity of the MgO surface, which seems to be related to the lifetime of a PDP with single-sustainer driving. In the investigation of the operation characteristics, the PDP that was operated with a floated address electrode showed a narrower dynamic operation margin, but a longer lifetime was expected.

본 연구는 1,080개의 주사선수를 가지는 full-HD PDP를 위한 새로운 고속구동방식에 관한 것으로 고속 어드레스에 의한 표시방전의 방전특성을 고찰하여 새로운 구동방식의 특성을 평가하였다. 이 구동방식에서 어드레스 펄스의 폭이 좁아지면 최초 표시방전의 상대적 방전강도와 방전지연시간은 그 영향을 받는다. 어드레스 펄스의 인가위치의 변화는 방전강도와 무관하나 방전지연시간에는 영향을 미친다. 그러나 어드레스 펄스의 인가위치가 [$6{\mu}s$]이내이고 펄스의 폭이 [$0.7{\mu}s$]이내라면, 어드레스 펄스의 인가위치나 폭에 무관하게 안정된 표시방전을 유도할 수 있다. 실험결과로부터 폭이 좁은 어드레스 펄스를 사용하는 고속구동기술은 축적되는 벽전하의 부족으로 인해 공간전하의 영향에 매우 민감하다는 것을 알았다.

The address discharge characteristics of a open dielectric structure compared with the conventional panel structure are investigated by measuring the discharge firing voltage. The open dielectric structure could easily produce the discharge between the scan and the sustain electrodes by erasing the dielectric layer between two electrodes. Due to the changes in the discharge firing characteristics of the open dielectric structure between the two sustain electrodes, the conventional reset waveform including the address waveform needs to be modified. The modified driving waveform suitable for the open dielectric structure is proposed and examined in AC PDP.

새로 제안된 기체방전 AND gate를 3전극 면방전 AC PDP에 적용하기 위하여 DC-AC floating 방전을 사용한 어드레스 방전 특성을 해석하였다. 실험결과 Y 전극을 floating 전극으로 한 floating 방전을 이용하여 어드레스 방전을 개시시킬 수 있었으며 표시방전을 유지시킬 수 있었다. 또한 floating 방전과 타이밍을 일치시켜 보조전극에 DC 프라이밍 방전을 일으켜 줌으로써 floating 방전 공간에 공간전하를 충분히 공급해 주어 그 결과 데이터 전압을 100(V)까지 낮출 수 있었다. 이 DC-AC floating 방전을 사용한 구동방식은 100(V)의 어드레스 동작마진을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구는 Full-HD급 PDP의 고속 구동 구현을 위한 새로운 구동 방식에 관한 연구이다. 새로운 SPA (self-priming address) 구동 파형은 어드레스 구간에서 지속적인 프라이밍 방전을 유지하여 하전 입자 효과를 이용하여 어드레스 방전 지연 시간을 개선하기 위하여 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 프라이밍 방전의 기본 특성에 대해 조사하였으며, 안정적인 프라이밍 방전을 유지할 수 있는 초기화 펄스 및 프라이밍 램프 펄스를 도출하였다. 특히, 프라이밍 램프 펄스의 기울기가 0.1[$V/{\mu}s$]의 미약한 프라이밍 방전의 경우에 대해서도 기존 방식의 1.2[${\mu}s$]의 어드레스 방전 지연 시간을 0.8[${\mu}s$]로 획기적으로 개선할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a new gray scale expression method that divides the scan lines into multiple blocks is suggested. The proposed method can drive 16 sub-fields per 1 TV field in the panel with XGA ($1366{\times}768$) resolution. The on and off states of even subfields depend on the condition of odd subfields. The write address mode is used in the odd subfields, while the erase address mode is used in the even subfields. Because the ramp reset pulse is applied every 2 sub-fields, both the contrast ratio and the dynamic voltage margin are sufficiently obtained in comparison with previous AWD (Address While Display) methods. In realizing 16 subfields, shortening the scan time in the erase address period was important. The X bias voltage in the erase address period affected the minimum address voltage but did not the delay time of the address discharge. The delay time of the address discharge was affected by the address voltage and the time interval between the last sustain discharge and the scanning time. We also evaluated the dynamic false contour. New method shows an improved image quality in horizontal moving, but discontinuous lines were observed at the boundaries of each block in vertical moving

In this paper, we present a new reset waveform for a large-sustain-gap structure in at PDPs. In the driving of the large-sustain-gap structure with a conventional ramp reset waveform, we cannot avoid the condition of an address being a cathode, which causes lots of trouble in stabilizing a reset discharge. To solve these problems, we use the square pulse instead of the conventional rising ramp pulse. Before making a strong discharge between the address (cathode) and scan (anode) electrodes, we make a priming discharge between the address (anode) and the scan (cathode) electrodes to stabilize the strong discharge in which the address electrodes are the cathode. With this scheme, we obtained 60V minimum address voltage and 145V maximum address voltage in $250{\mu}m$ and $350{\mu}m$ gap structures.

In order to achieve high efficiency and low cost, new high-speed addressing method is suggested. This can be achieved by reducing the address discharge delay time through the priming effect. This paper suggests a new ADR (Address During Reset) driving method which provides priming particles by using a separated driving method without adding auxiliary electrode or auxiliary discharge. The experimental results show an approximately loons reduction in the formative delay time of address discharge and a reduction in jitter of over 200ns. Also, due to enough time being available for reset, there was a reduction in light emitted during reset of about 29% which improved the dark contrast ratio considerably.
