This paper presents a new self-erasing discharge mode for the improvement of luminous efficiency and color purity of an AC plasma display panel (AC PDP). A new self-erasing discharge mode is produced between successive sustain pulses. by simultaneously applying the auxiliary short pulses at the falling edge of the sustain pulses without cross-talk during a sustain period. As a result. the luminous efficiency and color gamut are improved by 16% and 5%, respectively.

In this paper, the AC-PDP's structural defects with a gap between front and rear glass are investigated. Breakdown voltage, sustain voltage, current and brightness have been measured for various gaps between two plates under various gas pressures. The experimental results show that the firing voltage, sustain voltage and brightness were decreased whereas the discharge current was increased as the gap increased. When the gap is over $40{\mu}m$, it was impossible to drive cells separately.

The relationships between discharge characteristics and sustain electrode shape are studied in AC PDP by calculating the electric field and measuring discharge voltage, luminance and current. The maximum electric field is obtained for the triangle shape electrode. It is 1.8 times larger than uniform electric field type. It has been shown thatthe firing voltage is largely affected by the degree of electric field concentration. But, as the difference of the maximum and minimum value of electric field in a cell increases, the luminance and luminance efficiency decrease. And, the charge variation during discharge is proportional to the area of electrode.

플라즈마 디스플레이 패널의 발광효율을 개선하기 위하여 sustain 구간의 파형을 변화시킨 새로운 구동파 형을 제안하였다. 제안된 sustain 파형은 기존의 구형파에 기울기를 가진 ramp 형태의 파형을 덧붙여 줌으로써 Self-Erasing을 유도하는 파형이다. 기존에 제안된 Self-Erasing을 이용한 구동방식은 높은 구동주파수(>150kHz)에서만 발광효율이 개선되는 반면, 본 논문에서 제안하는 파형은 낮은 구동주파수(25kHz)에서도 30％정도의 발광효율이 개선되었다. 본 논문의 결과로부터 주파수, 듀티, 기울기 등의 다양한 구동조건에서의 연구가 진행된다면 더 큰 발광효율개선이 기대된다.

As a driving method of AC PDP, address display separated (ADS) scheme has been widely used. In ADS method, a picture of one frame is divided into eight subfields. In this paper, the effect of sustain voltage stress have been studied with several parameters. The experimental results show that sustain pulses in the previous subfield work as the stress to address discharge in the current subfield. It is also shown that as the voltage of the sustain period in the previous subfield increases, the address time lag in the current subfield decrease slightly.

The discharge characteristics of the face-to-face sustain electrode structure employing auxiliary address pulse are investigated under a sustain driving frequency of 20 kHz and various auxiliary address pulse widths (500 ns, $1{\mu}s$, $2\;{\mu}s$) in the 6-in. test panel (42-in. Full HD grade) with a pressure of 450 Torr and a 4 % Xe-content. The luminance and the luminous efficiency at the auxiliary address pulse width of 500 ns are improved more than these of $1\;{\mu}s$ and $2\;{\mu}s$. At the auxiliary address pulse width of 500 ns, the luminous efficiency shows about 0.96 lm/W at the auxiliary pulse of 90 V and the sustain voltage of 260 V.

A relationship between discharge delay time and the aging method were investigated: A-Y (Address electrode - Scan electrode) aging and conventional X-Y(Common electrode - Scan electrode) aging with the variation of sustain voltage beyond self-erasing discharge. Although A-Y aging decreases discharge delay time, it has several drawbacks like non-uniformity of discharge, degradation of luminous efficiency and a color temperature. In a conventional aging condition which is carried out near the mid-margin voltage, discharge delay time is short in low voltage and high frequency condition. As an alternative to conventional voltage aging, high voltage aging is suggested which is carried out at self-erasing sustain voltage region. High voltage aging shows lower discharge delay time and fast aging speed than conventional voltage aging.

This paper describes a new method to decide the margin for the sustain voltage of AC PDPs based on the wall-charge distribution. We model the discharge cell and measure the wall-charge when sustain pulses are applied to the AC PDP. The measured wall-charge distribution informs us of the voltage forming the maximum wall-charge which should be chosen as the sustain voltage.

In order to reduce the power consumption in international standard IEC62087, the luminance efficiency should be improved at the low discharge load rather than at the high discharge load. Thus, this paper analysed the characteristics of the discharge at the panels with ITO Gap of $65{\mu}m$, $80{\mu}m$, and $100{\mu}m$ in 50-inch PDP with FHD resolution. It was well known that the long gap panel improves the luminance and the luminous efficiency. However, it is very difficult to drive the panel due to high driving voltage. When the normal driving method was applied at the panel with ITO gap of $100{\mu}m$, the phenomenon of the double peak was generated in the sustain period. We confirmed that main factor of the double peak is the self-erasing discharge. When the CLHS driving method was applied at the panel with ITO gap of $100{\mu}m$, the self-erasing discharge was improved in the sustain period. Also, the $V_S$ and $V_A$ minimum voltage of the CLHS driving method decreased about 9V and 12V compared with those of the normal driving method. Moreover, when the CLHS driving method was applied to the panel with ITO gap of $100{\mu}m$, the luminance and the luminous efficiency increased compared with those of the normal driving method. The luminance and the luminous efficiency greatly increased at the low discharge load. The less discharge load, the higher increase rate of the luminance and the luminous efficiency. Especially, the luminous efficiency at ITO gap of $100{\mu}m$ increased about 26.3% at the discharge load of 4% compared with that at ITO gap of $65{\mu}m$.

The ac plasma display panel(PDP) is a flat light-emitting gas discharge device. Discharge gases directly take effects to the discharge phenomena of ac PDP. Therefore it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the discharge gases. In this paper, we have studied the effects of discharge gases by voltage transfer curves which show the discharge characteristics of ac PDP and the change of the effective wall capacitance during a discharge which depends on lateral spreading of charge distribution and the strength of discharge. As gas pressure increases, memory margins increases. and the firing voltage of a mixed gas is lower than that of a single gas such as He gas. The minimum sustain voltage and the maximum sustain voltage or firing voltage increases with decrease in the frequency. The effective wall capacitance increases as the discharge strength that is, the gap voltage between discharge electrodes increases.
