In the alternative current plasma display panel(AC-PDP) technology, it is very important to remove the image sticking for improving an image quality. In this paper, we have investigated the driving method of alternative current plasma display panel(AC-PDP) for preventing image sticking. We have investigated the driving method of alternative current plasma display panel(AC-PDP) for preventing image sticking. The preventing method of image sticking was proposed by adopting the Sticking Remove Pulse(SRP). The variation of brightness is most affected by the MgO to be formed at the surface of the phosphor layer. As a result, the image sticking is reduced when the driving method adopted an SRP.

Auxiliary address pulse driving scheme is proposed for controlling and improving the color temperature of the 42-inch WVGA ac-plasma display panel (ac-PDP) without sacrificing total luminance. Under a white-background, the color temperature of 42-inch ac-PDP is improved by about 1,700 K, whereas under a black-background, the color temperature of 42-inch ac-PDP is improved by about 3,200 K. In addition, by properly controlling the luminance in the R, G, and B cells, the color temperature of 42-inch ac-PDP can be raised from 5,827K to 10,705K.

The sustain driver for AC plasma display panel should provide alternating high voltage pulses to ignite plasma and recover the energy discharged from the intrinsic capacitance between the scanning and sustaining electrodes inside the panel. In this paper, an efficient sustain circuit employing boost-up function is proposed to achieve a faster rise-time in order to be suitable to widely used the address display period separated (ADS) driving method. The proposed circuit improves the recovery efficiency, regardless of the variation of the panel capacitance. The principle of operation, features, and simulated results are illustrated and verified on a 7.5-inch diagonal panel at 200 [kHz] operating frequency based on experimental prototype.

We proposed the new structure of ac plasma display panel(PDP) to improve the luminous efficacy and driving voltage characteristics. Through two-dimensional numerical simulations, we analyzed the effects of new counter discharge type, which consists of counter sustain electrodes and auxiliary electrodes. Generally, an advantage of AC PDP with the counter sustain electrodes has been known for the driving characteristics of the low voltage. In this work, the new counter structure using the ignition discharge by the auxiliary pulse applied to the address electrode showed the result of the increased luminous efficacy. The short gap discharge between two auxiliary electrodes on the front plate could intensity the long gap discharge between counter electrodes. The reliability of simulation result could be confirmed by the experimental result in the test panel.

Two kinds of the ac-plasma display panel (PDP) with the comb type and the matrix type electrodes were fabricated. The discharge properties were studied as a function of as species (Ne and Ne+He+Xe) and its pressure. The firing voltages (Vf) of the PDP with comb type electrodes were 159 V and 195 V under pure Ne and ne+He+Xe(68:30:2) gas mixture respectively. In case of PDP cell with the matrix type electrodes the Vf was increased to 200 V for pure Ne and 240 V for Ne+He+Xe gas mixture under the same gas pressure(300 mbar).

This paper proposes a relative lifetime test method of MgO thin film. The suggested test conditions are 5$0^{\circ}C$, 400Torr, 20% over-voltage and 300KHz. The relative lifetime of MgO thin film is significantly affected by the MgO preparing conditions and Xe partial pressure. As result, the lifetime of the AC plasma display panel (PDP) is increased with an MgO thickness of 2000$\AA$ to 8000$\AA$ but is saturated over 5000$\AA$ (up to 9000 $\AA$). In addition, as Xe partial pressure increases, AC PDP lifetime increases.

The addressing time can be reduced by modifying cell structure and/or driving circuits in order to replace the dual scan system by single scan in large ac plasma display panel(PDP). Moreover, the luminance of the PDP can also be increased by decreasing the addressing time. In this paper, various shapes of bus and address electrodes have been investigated with the aim of reducing the addressing time in ADS driving method. The experimental results show that the addressing time can be reduced by more than 30% compared with the conventional type by modifying the electrodes without reducing the luminance of the PDP.

Recently, Plasma display panel(PDP) has been in the spotlight as one of the next generation flat-panel-display device. The luminance and luminous efficiency improvement is the hot issues for making a plasma display into a large flat panel device. In this paper, We suggest a new penning gas mixture, in order to find the optimum mixture gas in plasma display panel. The optimum gas composition has been found by the partial pressure of inert gases(such as Af and Kr added to matrix of He(70%)-Ne(27%)Xe(3%) and Ne(96%)-Xe(4%)). The influences of Ar or Kr addition to Ne(96%)-Xe(4%) and He(70%)-Ne(27%)-Xe(3%) mixture gases are experimentally investigated for AC Plasma Display Panel. When rare As(0.01%-0.03%) or Kr(0.01%-0.03%) is added Ne-Xe and He-Ne-Xe mixture gases, the luminance increases over 10%-20% and luminous efficiency increases over 10%-20% at 200 Torr. It is sure that luminance and efficiency are improved by Penning effect. Also, This influence of Penning effect is shown by increased wall charge(10%-25%). In addition to the result, firing voltage and minimum sustain voltage was approximately decreased by 2V-3V.
