The variation of discharge characteristics of an ac PDP was observed with the charge of scan electrode driving circuit. Conventional scan electrode driving circuit provides two switches per one scan line, and the suggested one can be constituted by one switch per one scan line with the consideration of capacitive load characteristic of an ac PDP. To verify the workability of the suggested scheme, the performances of the ac PDP was investigated. The dynamic voltage margin was slightly decreased with the adoption of the suggested scheme, which is estimated to result from the misfiring of unselected discharge cells due to the deformation of voltage level of the neighboring scan electrode. In the observation of the delay characteristics of addressing discharge, the performances of the conventional circuit and the suggested one are assumed to be equivalent.

New address electrode having separated dual electrode is suggested to reduce addressing time in ac PDP. Addressing characteristics of suggested electrode has been investigated in the test panel with high Xe partial pressure. It has been found that both the formative and jitter width of the suggested electrode is improved by 10 -20 % over the wide range of address voltage level compared with the conventional one. The dynamic margin of the panel also greatly improved. The key feature behind this type of structure is that it can extend the controllability of the wall charge distribution during the reset and address discharge without significant increase in capacitive load of address electrode.

The understanding of reset scheme is essential for the driving of AC PDP (Plasma Display Panel). The characteristics of reset period of AC PDP was examined with the variation of pulse time and voltage in the ADS (Address Display Separated) driving method presented by Fujitsu,. The addressing characteristics showed drastic change as a function of the erasing time and addressing pulse width. In this paper, these results were explained by the change of wall charge variation, and it was estimated with the currents through each electrode.

This study minimized the address pulse width for plasma display by analysis of address discharge condition for high speed driving using the ADS driving scheme. As a result, addressing pulse width of 1$mutextrm{s}$ has been realized and luminance of 560cd/$m^2$ can be obtained from the area of 256X160 pixels. And a new AWD scheme is proposed. We accomplished 9.1-inch-diagonal color image with the scan timing of HDTV class PDP, display duty 96.8%.

A negative waveform was studied to improve the driving characteristics of reset and address periods in ac PDP. Comparative experiments between negative and conventional positive waveforms were performed with 42-inch XGA PDP module. The negative waveform showed lower breakdown voltage than the conventional positive waveform in reset period. Due to its weak and stable discharge during reset period, the contrast ratio was improved by decreasing the black luminance. During address period, the discharge time-lag was measured. The formative time lag ($=T_f$) of negative waveform was improved about 22.8% than $T_f$ of conventional positive waveform.

As a driving method of AC-PDP, Address-Display Separated(ADS) driving has been widely adopted for its simple architecture and low discharge failure rate. However, a high definition like a HDTV has defect of long addressing time by reason of a number of pixels. Priming effect isn't fully sustained because of long addressing time during the address period. Therefore, it has different wall charge and luminance of each addressing time in the sustain period. In this study, we suggest a new driving waveform on the address period to improve these defects. We applied a ramp waveform, instead of a square waveform, to an address period in ADS, for operating on the AC-PDP, which used the conventional gas [He-Ne-Xe]. When the ramp waveform is applied to the address period, we experimented for uniform wall charge and the improved luminance by sustained Priming effect at each addressing time in the sustain period.

ADS(Address Display Period Separation) driving method has been considered to be the most appropriate driving technique for AC PDP. ADS driving method is composed of reset, address, sustain and erase period. Therefore, a long time should be allocated to an address period, which results in a reduction of brightness. To realize a high luminance and high picture quality, it is necessary to high speed addressing. However, address discharge time lag increases as the temperature decreases, which can cause the misfiring and low picture quality In this paper, the electric field effect and priming particle effect are investigated in order to reduce the address discharge time lag at low temperature. Address discharge time lag was reduced effectively when the priming particles are provided.

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.

If the ambient temperature rises in AC PDP, some of the discharged cells arc turned off because of the addressing failure. Particularly, the addressing failure at the last scan line is more serious than at the first scan line. The failure is accompanied with delay of the address discharge and reduction of total charge involved. In order to compensate this kind of misfiling, the progressively increasing address voltage waveform is used instead of constant one. In this method, we found that the total charge and address time at the last scan line are similar to those of the first line. As a result, we can have stable discharge without misfiring even at the high ambient temperature.

The relationships between driving voltage and the wall charge distribution in the address period of surface discharge type AC Plasma Display Panel have been investigated. The quantity of wall charge on each electrode are detected simultaneously from the electrode current after applying only one addressing discharge pulse. The wall charge Qy on the scan electrode Y is nearly the sum of Qx on the address electrode X and Qz on the sustain electrode 2. The Qy increased with the driving voltage regardless of the kind of electrode, whereas the address time Td decreased, Qz and Qy are increased considerably with the blocking voltage Vz, whereas Qx is decreased. The increase rate of Qx, Qy and Qz for increase in Vz was $-13{\times}10^{-2}$(pc/Vz), and $60{\times}10^{-2}$(pc/Vz) and $70{\times}10^{-2}$(pc/Vz), respectively.
