Abstract

High performance 42 inch XGA PDP with high luminance of 1,000 cd/$m^2$ has been developed using high efficient electrode structure, discharge gas and closed barrier ribs. For high speed addressing with single scan technique, address discharge time lag was reduced over 40% with FAST driving scheme and new materials. High dark room contrast ratio of 5,000 : 1 was achieved and picture quality was improved using new algorithm for eliminating false contour and improving gray level linearity.
