Recently, due to the launching of digital broadcasting service, a demand of PDP TV with large screen size is sharply rising. PDP power module is mainly divided into power factor correction (PFC) stage and sustaining power stage. Especially, sustaining power module has pulsating load characteristics. So, the hard switching at light load condition causes low efficiency and thermal problem. Therefore, a new power conversion circuit for sustaining power module of 60' PDP is proposed whose ZVS is obtained by additional ZVS tank. This paper presents properties of the proposed converter through mode analysis, numerical analysis. And a 900w prototype for sustaining power module of 60' PDP is produced to verify the analytic results. As an experimental results, ZVS is achieved from full load to 10% load variation and more than 92% of high efficiency is obtained at 10% load condition.

최근 많은 나라들이 상용전원의 왜곡을 방지하기 위해 AC 라인에 직접 연결하는 제품에 IEC 61000-3-2 나 IEEE 59 와 같은 고조파 규제를 가하고 있다. 따라서 최근 차세대 디스플레이 소자로 각광을 받고 있는 PDP(플라즈마 디스플레이 패널) 역시 이런 규제치를 만족하기 위해 역률개선회로를 부착하고 있다. 기존의 PDP 파워 모듈에서는 일반적으로 잘 알려진 부스트 컨버터를 이용해 역률개선회로를 구성하여 사용하였다. 그러나 PDP 자체의 열과 브리지 다이오드의 과도한 발열 때문에 시스템의 안전성을 보장할 수가 없었다. 본 논문에서는 PDP 파워 모듈용 역률개선회로로 브리지 없는 부스트 컨버터를 이용함으로써 효율, 소자 수, 발열상태 등 여러 가지 측면에서 기존회로와 비교 분석을 하고 그것의 제품 적용 가능성을 살펴보고자 한다.

최근 디지털 방송의 시행에 따라 평판디스플레이(FPD)의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 그 중에서도 PDP는 대화면, 고감도, 넓은 시야각, 얇은 두께 등의 장점을 가지기 때문에 다른 FPD 매체들에 비해 경쟁력이 있다. 그리고 최근 PDP 패널의 공정 간소화로 인해 PDP 패널의 제작 비용이 감소하는 추세에 있기 때문에 대화면용 PDP에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 넓은 영전압 스위칭 범위를 갖는 대화면용 PDP 유지전원단을 위한 고효율 전력 변환회로를 제안하고 여러 가지 구동 신호를 인가하여 제안된 회로의 동작을 분석하였다. 기존의 42" PDP는 낮은 부하조건에 대해서 ZVS가 이루어지지 않게 되는데 시간에 따라서 급격하게 변하는 PDP의 부하 특성 때문에 많은 열이 발생하게 된다. 그러나 제안된 60" PDP 회로의 경우, 부가적으로 ZVS를 위한 에너지를 공급해 줄 수 있는 회로를 달아주었기 때문에 넓은 ZVS 영역을 갖게 된다. 그리고 이러한 장점 때문에 스위칭 손실이 감소하여 기존의 컨버터에 비해서 높은 효율을 기대할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 심각한 열 문제가 없이 안정적인 조건에서 동작하는 것이 가능해 진다.

Recently, many nation have released standard such as IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 59, which impose a limit on the harmonic current drawn by equipment connected to AC line in order to prevent the distortion of an AC Line. Therefore, Plasma Display Panel (PDP) which is highlightened in digital display device also has the Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit to meet the harmonic requirements. In PDP power module, the conventional boost converter is usually used for the PFC circuit. However, it comes serious thermal problem on it's bridge diode due to heat of PDP, and therefore the system stability is not guaranteed. In this paper, the bridgeless boost converter, which is used for PFC circuit of the PDP power module, is designed and verified the possibility of the application in a practical product in a view of efficiency, component count, temperature and etc.

Display devices are becoming increasingly important as an interface between humans and machines in the growing information society. In display devices, PDP (Plasma Display Panel) has many advantages in that it has wide screen, wide viewing angle and is light weight, thin. In PDP driving method, if the brightness of input image is high, applying the fixed sustain pulse to the PDP panel will raise the PDP power consumption and may damages the PDP panel. To overcome these problems, the Plasma AI driving method was introduced by the Matshushita co. in Japan. The Plasma AI driving module calculates the peak value and average value of 1 frame image and adjusts the gradation and sustain pulses for 1 frame sustain. In this paper, the proposed PDP driving module is based on the Plasma AI driving module. The proposed driving module calculates peak value and average value, and the brightness distribution of 1 frame image. Using brightness distribution, the proposed driving module divides 1 frame input image into 15 image patterns. For each image pattern, minimum sustain pulses and sub-frames are used for the brightness of 1 frame image and the sustain weight for 64, 128, 192 gradation is proposed. Therefore, the sustain power consumption can be reduced.

제안된 Multi-level PDP sustain Driver는 기존 L. Webber에 의해 제안된 방식에 비해 낮은 전압 rating을 갖는 소자를 사용하며 sustain 전압파형의 rising/falling 구간이 각각 2번의 공진에 의해 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 rising time을 구성하는 3단계$(T_{r1},\;T_{i1},\;T_{r2})$의 변화에 따라 PDP의 방전 특성에 미치는 영향을 비교하고, 기존 LG전자의 상용화 제품인 42V6와 특성을 비교한다. 실험결과는 3단계의 rising time 중에 $T_{i1}$의 변화에 따른 특성 변화가 가장 크며, $T_{r2}$의 변화에 의한 영향도 있으며, $T_{r1}$의 변화에 따른 특성 변화는 거의 없다. 제안된 PDP driver는 $T_{r1}$이 60ns, $T_{i1}$이 120ns, $T_{r2}$가 350ns 인 경우, Full white display pattern에서 기존제품에 비해 휘도 $14.6\%$증가, 소비전력 $5.9\%$감소, panel 효율 $24.2\%$ 증가, module 효율 $21.2\%$증가 등 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 실제 PDP module 응용에 적합할 것으로 기대된다.

A new LLC resonant converter with multiple outputs is proposed for high efficiency and low cost plasma display panel (PDP) power module. In the proposed converter, ZVS turn-on of the primary MOSFETs and ZCS nun-off of the secondary diodes are guaranteed in the overall input voltage and output load range. Moreover, the primary MOSFETs and the secondary diodes have low voltage stresses clamped to input and the output voltage, respectively. Therefore, the proposed converter shows the high efficiency due to the minimized switching and conduction losses. In addition, by employing the transformer, which has the two and more secondary side, the proposed converter can have multiple outputs and they show the great cross-regulation characteristics. As a result, the proposed converter can be implemented with low cost and compact size. The 500W prototype is implemented, which integrates the sustaining and addressing power supplies of PDP power module. The maximum efficiency is 96.8% and the respective output voltages are well regulated. Therefore, the proposed converter is suitable for high efficiency and low cost PDP power module.

A PDP(Plasma Display Panel) module consists of a discharge panel, a SMPS(Switched Mode Power Supply) for power supply, driving boards for panel control, and a logic board. Driving boards supply high voltage pulses to induce glow discharge in the PDP panel. The electrical pulses excite the circuit elements and subsequently generate acoustic noises. The main sources of the noise in the circuit are the transformer of SMPS and the power MOSFET(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) of driving boards, and the heat sinks often amplify the noise level. The reduction of the acoustic noises was achieved by modifying both the structural and circuit elements. The structural method was executed by the improvement of heat sinks. The optimization of SMPS and condensers was carried out for the circuit elements.

The method of supplying a single voltage source to a drive has a weak point that we can not determine whether discharging cells of a upper panel in a PDP(Plasma display panel) operate properly or not in the step of testing a durable voltage. From this paper, we can make more reliable products by the design-method of a power-module, for testing a durable voltage, that can determine if discharging cells in a upper pannel in a PDP have something wrong in variously supplied voltage sources.
