Abstract

One of the most important issues in AC PDP is luminance and luminous efficacy. To improve the luminance and luminous efficacy, new sustain electrode structure which contains long discharge gap is necessary. However, it causes a rise of firing voltage. In this experiment, a new structure is proposed in order to solve this problem. To drop the firing voltage, the hump shaped electrode is inserted into the forward area of the main discharge gap. The experimental results show that proposed structures with 160um discharge gap have high firing voltage by 38V, high luminance by 30% and high luminous efficacy by 15% compared with conventional type having 60um discharge gap. In addition, the proposed structure with hump electrode shows lower firing voltage by 24V compared with the test panel with 160um discharge gap which doesn't have hump electrode though they have similar luminous efficacy.
