As a driving method of AC-PDP, Address-Display Separated(ADS) driving has been widely adopted for its simple architecture and low discharge failure rate. However, a high definition like a HDTV has defect of long addressing time by reason of a number of pixels. Priming effect isn't fully sustained because of long addressing time during the address period. Therefore, it has different wall charge and luminance of each addressing time in the sustain period. In this study, we suggest a new driving waveform on the address period to improve these defects. We applied a ramp waveform, instead of a square waveform, to an address period in ADS, for operating on the AC-PDP, which used the conventional gas [He-Ne-Xe]. When the ramp waveform is applied to the address period, we experimented for uniform wall charge and the improved luminance by sustained Priming effect at each addressing time in the sustain period.

Recently, Plasma Display Panel(PDP) has been in the spotlight as one of the next generation flat-panel-display device. However, it has several drawbacks like the low contrast ratio and the low luminance. In this study, a new address waveform is suggested to improve the priming effect and contrast ratio at the address period in the Address Display period Separated(ADS) method. We modified waveform, instead of a conventional waveform, to an address period, for operating on the Plasma Display Panels, which used the conventional gas [He-Ne-Xe〕. When the ramp pulse is added to the address period at the sustain electrode, it is improved on the priming effect and contrast ratio.

A new driving scheme, Address and Display Period Complex Driving for Expanding Gray Scale(ACE), is proposed by mixing Address Display period Separated(ADS) and Address While Display(AWD). In this method scan lines are divided in blocks driving by AWD and scan lines in block progress sequential high speed addressing. ADS driving get accomplished in low gray level for expanding gray scale. Scan time is reduced and the number of subfields is increased by high speed addressing of ACE. That expands the gray scale and decreases the dynamic false contour. Also, that improves contrast by using ramp reset.

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.

The understanding of reset scheme is essential for the driving of AC PDP (Plasma Display Panel). The characteristics of reset period of AC PDP was examined with the variation of pulse time and voltage in the ADS (Address Display Separated) driving method presented by Fujitsu,. The addressing characteristics showed drastic change as a function of the erasing time and addressing pulse width. In this paper, these results were explained by the change of wall charge variation, and it was estimated with the currents through each electrode.

As a driving method of AC PDP, address display separated (ADS) scheme has been widely used. In ADS method, a picture of one frame is divided into eight subfields. In this paper, the effect of sustain voltage stress have been studied with several parameters. The experimental results show that sustain pulses in the previous subfield work as the stress to address discharge in the current subfield. It is also shown that as the voltage of the sustain period in the previous subfield increases, the address time lag in the current subfield decrease slightly.

Recently alternating-current Plasma Display Panel(AC-PDP) is in the spotlight as a digital television and high definition television. The panel structure widely adapted in commercial AC-PDP is three electrodes surface discharge type. At present time, the luminous efficiency is around 1lm/W, it should be a key factor for the commercialization. For the high luminous efficiency, the development of panel structure is necessary. At a given panel structure, a driving method should be optimized to get a sufficient luminous efficiency. The display image of AC-PDP could be realized by the repeated light emission from the discharge. Because most of discharge power is consumed in the sustaining period, the optimization of sustaining waveform is very important for the high luminous efficiency. ADS (Address and Display period Separated) driving method is commonly used. The average driving frequency of ADS driving method is ranged by several tens kilo of [kHz], however the actual frequency of sustaining period is in range of 100[kHz] to 200[kHz]. Based on this study, when the phosphor emits the visible light, it has a decay time of few milliseconds due to the material transfer to the phosphor to emit the visible light. Consequently the luminous efficiency decreases in proportion to the driving frequency. It is found that the luminous efficiency could be significantly improved by the low frequency sustaining driving method.

The driving method is one of the most important factors of PDP, so various driving methods have been developed to improve the duality of PDP Nowadays, most of PDPs apply to ADS (Address and Display period Separated) driving method. In this paper, a new driving method that divides scan lines into multi-Blocks is suggested. The proposed driving method in this paper can drive 14 sub-fields per 1 TV field in SD panel, 16 sub-fields per 1 TV field in HD panel. And sufficient Address margin can be obtained.

When the plasma panel is used as a display, frequent discharging are made to occur by alternatively charging each side of the panel to a critical voltage, which causes repeated gas discharges to occur. In this paper, an efficient sustain driver is proposed to achieve a faster rise-time in order to be suitable to widely used ADS driving method. The proposed circuit increases an operational margin up to 20 % compared with conventional approaches improving the recovery efficiency regardless of the variation of panel capacitance. Thanks to the increased operational margin, the brightness decrease problem can be solved without a limitation to sustain pulse width. The principle of operation, and features are illustrated, and verified on a 7.5 inch diagonal panel at 200 kHz operating frequency - based on experimental prototype.
