A simple sustain driver employing an energy recovery function is proposed as a highly efficient driver of a plasma display panel. The proposed driver uses dual resonance in the sustaining mode operation: a main resonance between an inductor and an external capacitor to produce alternative pulses and a sub-resonance between an inductor and a panel to recover the energy consumption by the capacitive displacement current of the PDP. The operational principle and design procedure of the proposed circuit are presented with theoretical analysis. The operation of the proposed sustain driver is verified through simulation and experiments based on a 7.5-inch-diagonal panel with a 200 KHz operating frequency.

An efficient sustain driver and a useful reset circuit composition technique are proposed for plasma display panel drive. The proposed sustain driver uses a series resonance between an external inductor and a panel to recover the energy dissipated by a capacitive displacement current of PDP. It consists of four switching devices, an inductor, and external capacitors, which supply sustain voltage sources. Although the amplitude of an input voltage source is twice as high as that of conventional sustain drivers, average voltage stress imposed on power switching devices is nearly same in their values. Moreover, the input voltage source can be directly applied for the use of a reset voltage source. Owing to this scheme, the proposed sustain driver and the embedded reset circuit have a simple configuration. The operational principle and design example are given with theoretical analyses. The validity of the proposed drive system is verified through experiments using a prototype equipped with a 7.5-inch-diagonal AC plasma display panel.

Bonding glasses is one of the important PDP (Plasma Panel Display) manufacturing processes. Bonding process includes aligning front and rear glasses with fixing clips. In this process, clips have to maintain perfect alignment between the front and rear glasses. The panel which is fixed by clips goes to next process called sealing. The sealing process is performed in high temperature ($465^{\circ}C$). During sealing process, alignment is very important because it can affect seriously on the PDP screen quality. This study suggests redesigned clips to improve PDP panel alignment and also shows stabilization of clips in a high temperature during sealing process.

21세기에 들어서면서 박막 대형 TV의 발전은 눈부시다. 최초로 박막 대형 TV의 길을 열어 준 디스플레이는 Plasma Display Panel (PDP)이다. PDP TV는 1920 년대 초에 개발되었으나 당시의 Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) TV에 밀려 사장되었다가 그 이후 지속적인 연구를 통해 약점을 극복하여 2000 년대에 들어서면서 대형화와 박막화에 성공하면서 CRT를 넘어서기 시작하여 대형 TV 분야에서는 가장 많이 팔리는 디스플레이로 알려져 있다. 이 논문에서는 PDP 기술이 시장화에 성공할 수 있는 계기가 된 패널 구동 기술 발전에 대해 TRIZ으로 고찰을 다루고자 한다.

Several methods are available for the fabrication of electrode pattern for the plasma display panel(PDP) including screen printing and photolithographic method. Piezo type ink-jet printing method is considered to the method of choice for electrode patterning in manufacturing of PDP. Both silver ink and absorbent layer paste formulation were developed for ink-jet printing of electrode pattern. The ink-jet printing of silver electrode with preformed absorbent layer was especially suitable for the patterning of address electrode for high resolution PDP.

To minimize the cost and power consumption of PDP TV, a practical sustain circuit topology is presented with an address-and-display-period-separated driving scheme. The proposed sustain driver employs bidirectional switches to reduce the number of components. Operational principles and corresponding features are illustrated and compared with the conventional approach. The valuable contributions of the proposed high-performing sustainer has been proven by computer-aided simulations and experiments by using a prototype equipped with 7.5-inch diagonal panel operated at 200 kHz switching frequency.

Recently, in order to improve the characteristics of operating voltage, brightness, discharge time lag, luminous efficacy of ac PDP, the PDP with high Xe partial pressure has been investigated. However, the serious problems in this case is to increase the operating voltage of ac PDP. In this study, in order to meet this problem the influences of kr gas in Ne-Xe-Kr ternary gas system is investigated for wide range of Xe partial pressure in terms of operating voltage, driving margin, luminance and luminous efficacy.

Recently, Plasma Display Panel(PDP) has been in the spotlight as one of the next generation flat-panel-display device. However, it has several drawbacks like the low contrast ratio and the low luminance. In this study, a new address waveform is suggested to improve the priming effect and contrast ratio at the address period in the Address Display period Separated(ADS) method. We modified waveform, instead of a conventional waveform, to an address period, for operating on the Plasma Display Panels, which used the conventional gas [He-Ne-Xe〕. When the ramp pulse is added to the address period at the sustain electrode, it is improved on the priming effect and contrast ratio.

PDP는 우수한 화질과 단순한 패널구조의 장점을 가지고 있으며 50inch 이상 대화면 및 Full HD 구현에 대한 가격 경쟁력도 가지고 있어 다른 여타의 디스플레이 디바이스보다 발전가능성이 매우 크다. 그러나 Full HD를 지원하기 위해서는 방전 셀의 낮은 효율을 얼마나 극복할 수 있는지가 PDP 업계 최대의 문제로 지적되고 있고 현재 연구주제가 되고 있다.
