A Study on the Image Sticking Phenomenon in AC PDP

AC PDP의 Image Sticking 현상에 관한 연구

Image sticking, the phenomenon that the previously displayed pattern still remains after the image is changed into different image, is one of the most serious problem in realizing high picture quality. In this paper, we tried characterizing this undesirable feature in terms of the luminance and the intial firing voltage at ramp up time in reset period. It was found that the cell located at the boundary of previous image pattern show low firing voltage and high background luminance. And the results show that the degree of the image sticking is severely affected by discharge duration and the length of the sustain period.
