We measured 3-dimensional temporal behavior of the light emitted from AC plasma display panel(PDP) at various auxiliary voltage pulse width supplied to the address electrode in sustain period using scanned point detecting system. In the case of applying an auxiliary address voltage pulse, the light emission starts at the inner edges of the cathode so the larger discharge volume toward address electrode can be obtained compared with the normal sustain discharge. Especially, when the auxiliary voltage pulse width is the $2{\mu}s$, the maximum luminance and long emission time can be obtained.

In order to achieve high efficiency and low cost, new high-speed addressing method is suggested. This can be implemented by reducing the address discharge time lag through the priming effect. This paper suggests a new ADR(Address During Reset) driving method which provides priming particles by a separated driving method without adding auxiliary electrode or auxiliary discharge. The experimental results show an approximately 100ns 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 of about 29$\%$ in linht emitted during the reset period considerably.

In order to improve discharge characteristics in AC PDP, we suggest FDFA (Facing Discharge Front plate Address Electrode) structure. By adopting both long facing discharge electrodes and address electrodes in front plate, the FDFA structure make it possible to gain a high luminance, low power consumption, and a high luminous efficiency.

The address and sustain discharge characteristics in plasma display panels (PDPs) are investigated and compared by the optical emission spectroscopy using the ICCD and Vt close-curve analysis. The observations on the xenon (Xe) emission show that the spatial and temporal evolutions in the first sustain discharge are quite different from those in the address and the other sustain discharges. The striation found in the conventional sustain discharge doesn't occur in the first sustain discharge. These different discharge behaviors are explained by employing the Vt close-curve.

The discharge characteristics of 3 electrcdes AC surface discharge plasma display were analyzed. For an unstable state of the discharge which appeared at the maximum discharge voltage, it is found that a parbal erase of the wall charge by the second discharge is a cause. Based on the second discharge, new operation margin considering the interrelation between the address discharge and the display discharge was defined and the validity of it was verified by the experiments. It is necessary to decrease the acklress pulse width for high-speed addressing. However, the operation margin of the ackIress pulse decreases as the pulse width of it becomes narrower. If the address pulse width is wider than l[ps], the operation margin of the display discharge is not related to the address pulse width. From the experimental result, image or 8bit 253 gray level was displayed on PDP with the cell structure of the HDTV class by using the high-speed address ADS drive methcd with pulse width of $1[{\mu}s]$ and the brightness of $560[cd/m^2]$ was obtained. ained.

To drive the high-image quality plasma displays of XGA and/or full-HD, we must effectively improve the driving waveform, which get the reset period for the stabilized control of wall charges, the address period to select discharge or non-discharge, and sustain period for luminance in 1 TV-frame, and also the display quality. To accomplish them, the development of the technology for the fast address discharge is required. In this paper, the correlation between the sustain-electrode gap and address discharge characteristics for the high-speed addressing was analyzed using the measurements of dynamic voltage margins. Results showed that the narrower the gap between the sustain electrodes, the narrower the with of the scan pulse became and a dynamic margin of data voltage of 29.2 V was obtained at scan pulse width of $1.0{\mu}s\;and\;V_{ramp}$ of 240 V for driving 4-inch test penal, which the gap between sustain electrodes was $65{\mu}m$.

To improve the luminance and luminous efficiency of a surface-discharge alternate current plasma display panel, we analyzed the sustain discharge characteristics as the voltage of the address electrode In the study. As the results, when the address voltage is a half of the sustain voltage in the sustain period, the luminance and luminance efficiency are the highest. The luminance efficiency increased about 16.2%~20.8% compared with the conventional type.

A new reset waveform is proposed for reducing the reset period. A square pulse is applied to the address electrode while reset pulse ramps and before a discharge between the sustain electrodes occurs. The square pulse induces a discharge between the address electrode and the X electrode, and the induced wall charge is opposite to the applied ramp pulse. Thus, the next discharge between the sustain electrodes becomes weaker. The weaker discharge lowers background luminance and improves contrast ratio. Thus, the new reset waveform can reduce ramp up time in the ramp reset waveform The experimental results show that the ramp up time can be reduced by about 90% compared with the conventional ramp reset waveform.

Unstable sustain discharges can occur at the bottom cells of the panel at high temperature. To solve this problem, the wall charge variation during an address period was investigated. A test panel of 7.5 inch XGA level was used and one green cell was measured. In order to realize operating condition equal to that of the bottom cells of 50 inch panel, the addressing stress pulses are applied. It seems that the resultant wall charge loss during address period increased with increase of stress time, temperature, pressure and Xe %. Wall charge loss increases with potential difference between scan electrode and address electrode, therefore wall charge loss can be minimized by the increase of scan voltage during address period.

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.
