The new self-priming addressing driving scheme was proposed to improve an address discharge time lag. It utilizes the priming effect maintaining the priming ramp discharge during an address period and the address discharge time lag is significantly improved. In this study, the basic characteristics of the priming ramp discharge are presented.

The discharge characteristics of a ramp reset waveform in the alternating current plasma display panel(ac PDP) were studied using a 2-dimensional numerical simulation. We analyzed the wall charge variation during the reset discharge, address discharge and sustain discharge adopting a ramp reset waveform. Then we investigated the principal parameters for a successful discharge. In this paper, we suggest a new parameter, printing particles' density and its effects on the stability of the ramp discharge. The maximum current flows of the three electrodes during the ramp reset period were decreased with the increase in the priming particles's density which was explained with the wall charge characteristics and the current flow characteristics obtained by a 2-D simulation.

본 연구는 Full-HD급 PDP의 고속 구동 구현을 위한 새로운 구동 방식에 관한 연구이다. 새로운 SPA (self-priming address) 구동 파형은 어드레스 구간에서 지속적인 프라이밍 방전을 유지하여 하전 입자 효과를 이용하여 어드레스 방전 지연 시간을 개선하기 위하여 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 프라이밍 방전의 기본 특성에 대해 조사하였으며, 안정적인 프라이밍 방전을 유지할 수 있는 초기화 펄스 및 프라이밍 램프 펄스를 도출하였다. 특히, 프라이밍 램프 펄스의 기울기가 0.1[$V/{\mu}s$]의 미약한 프라이밍 방전의 경우에 대해서도 기존 방식의 1.2[${\mu}s$]의 어드레스 방전 지연 시간을 0.8[${\mu}s$]로 획기적으로 개선할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

램프(ramp) 파형의 프라이밍 펄스를 표시방전 유지기간에 중첩시켜 인가함으로써, 단일 구동회로를 사용하여 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널(PDP)의 전체를 동시에 방전시킬 수 있는 새로운 프라이밍(priming) 방전기술을 고안하였다. 실험결과로부터 표시방전이 없는 화소에만 프라이밍 방전이 일어남을 확인하였으며 표시방전은 프라이밍 펄스의 영향을 거의 받지 않는다는 것을 알았다. 또한 제안된 프라이밍 방전 기술을 적용한 구동방식을 사용하여 0.7 [${\mu}s$]의 어드레스 펄스폭을 가지는 고속 구동을 실현하였고 40[V]의 넓은 어드레스 전압 범위를 얻었다. 이 결과는 1080개의 수평주사선수를 가지는 full-HDTV PDP를 밝기의 감소 없이 구동할 수 있으며 이 기술은 상용의 구동IC를 사용할 수 있도록 설계되었으므로 상용화 가능성도 높다.

In this paper, we present a 2-Dimensional simulation model of the discharge in an ac plasma display panel cell. Therefore, we study a ramp reset waveform in an ac plasma display panel discharge cell using 2-Dimensional simulation. Finally We research a connection between priming particles' density and stability.

A new high-speed drive method for the plasma display panel is proposed. In this method, the address period is inserted for the rest period of the sustain pulses and the priming pulse is applied on the entire panel at the same time overlapping with the sustain period. The ramp shaped priming pulse can be made with a simple drive circuit in this technology and the stable sustain discharge can be induced even by a narrow scan pulse in help of the space charge generated from the address discharge. From the experiments, it is ascertained that the priming pulse hardly influences the sustain discharge. Moreover, the voltage margin of the sustain discharge is almost constant though that of the address discharge broadens with narrowing the scan pulse width. And, if the time interval between the scan pulse and the sustain pulse is within $6{\mu}s$, the voltage margin of the address and the sustain discharges are unaffected though the applied position of the scan pulse is changed. High-speed driving with the address pulse of $0.7{\mu}s$ width was achieved and the address voltage margin of 20V and the sustain voltage margin of 10V were obtained.

The effects of ambient temperature on the discharge characteristics of Ne-Xe based micro discharge cells for ac-PDP (plasma display panel) have been studied. In ramp voltage driving, which is generally used as a reset method of PDP, two dissimilar modes of strong and weak discharge were found. As the interval between the former sustaining discharge and ramp voltage discharge becomes greater, the probability of a strong discharge increases. This suggests that a sufficient number of priming particles is necessary for initiating weak mode (Townsend discharge). It was discovered that under higher ambient temperatures, weak discharge occurs more frequently. The discharge time lag observed in square pulse driving of single cells becomes surprisingly smaller under higher ambient temperatures for the constant gas number density condition.

Effects of delay on the discharge time lag and the controllability of weak discharge mode were studied under single cell driving circumstances of ac PDP. It was found that sufficient number of priming particle is necessary for inducing weak discharge in ramp voltage driving. Discharge time lag was reduced dramatically under priming condition. It is speculated that the increasement of strong discharge is related to the reduction of the $Xe^*(^3P_1)$ particles during the after glow.

단일 구동회로를 사용하여 패널전체를 동시에 방전시킬 수 있는 새로운 priming 방전기술을 고안하였다. 그리고 이 기술을 사용하여 1080개의 수평주사선수를 가지는 full-HDTV PDP를 고휘도로 구동할 수 있는 새로운 고속 구동방식을 제안하였다. 이 priming 방전기술을 사용하면 구동방식에 상관없이 priming 기간을 sustain 기간에 중첩시키고 ramp 파형을 가지는 priming pulse를 인가하는 것이 가능하다. 실험결과로부터 sustain 방전이 없는 경우에만 priming 방전이 일어났다. 그리고 sustain 방전은 priming 펄스의 영향을 거의 받지 않는다는 것이 확인되었다. 새로운 PDP 구동기술로 $0.7{\mu}s$의 address 펄스폭을 가지는 고속 address를 실현하였다. 그리고 40V의 넓은 address 동작마진을 얻었다. 이 기술들은 상용의 driver IC를 사용할 수 있도록 설계되어있으므로 상용화 가능성도 높다.

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.
