Abstract

We developed a new PDP gray scale implementation method on the basis of the quantized memory addressing(QMA) principle. We defined three wall charge states; 'fully-on', 'off', and 'half-on', by controlling the width of address pulses. With these three wall charge state, we were able to express 255 level gray scale with only 7 sub-fields. Furthermore, in contrast to the conventional driving methods, the sub-field combinations for any two adjacent gray levels differ by only 1 sub-field, at worst, and therefore, eliminate the dynamic false contours. Since this method use 7 sub-field, the sustain discharge Period is increased by more than $70\%$ compared to the 12 sub-field method which reduces the dynamic false contours.

Quantized memory addressing (QMA) 이론을 바탕으로 새로운 PDP 계조 구현을 수행하는 방법을 개발하였다. 어드레스 펄스 폭을 조절함에 따라 셀에 기입되는 벽전하 양은 "fully on", "off" 그리고 "half on"의 세 단계를 가지게 된다. 이 세 단계의 벽전하를 이용하여 7개의 서브필드로 255단계의 계조를 표현할 수 있다. 더욱이 기존의 구동 방법과는 달리 인접한 두 계조를 표현하기 위해 사용하는 서브필드들이 동영상 의사윤곽을 제거한다. 이 방법은 7개의 서브필드를 사용함으로써 12개의 서브필드를 이용하여 동영상 의사 윤곽을 저감시킨 방법에 비해 유지 방전 시간을 $70\%$이상 증가시킨다.
