This paper proposes a new multi-level energy recovery sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel), which solves the problems and maintains the merits of the conventional multi-level sustaining driver. While the conventional circuit improves the hard switching in the Weber circuit, there exist parasitic resonant currents in resonant inductors and Vs/2 sustaining period. Comparing the proposed circuit with the conventional circuit, the number of inductors are reduced by half, the parasitic resonant currents in resonant inductors are eliminated, and the hard switching problem is solved by CIM(Current Injection Method). Moreover the voltages across series-connected switching elements in the full bridge circuit are distributed equally by adopting NPC(Neutral Point Clamping) techniques. And circuit operations of the proposed circuit are analyzed for each mode and the validity is verified by the simulations using PSpice program and experimentation with a prototype drive circuit.

A novel driving technology of PDP, which enables to decrease the sustain voltage of conventional technology by half without lowering the gas discharging voltage. This technology, realizable without much increased cost of the semiconductor devices, gives a significant improvement in the power efficiency, essential for the design of a drive circuit for PDP. A comparative analysis and experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed driving technology.

단일 서스테인 구동회로로서 캐패시터를 이용하여 가스 방전 스위치의 전압 스트레스를 절반으로 줄일 수 있는 새로운 멀티레벨 단일 서스테인 구동회로를 제안한다. 기존의 단일 서스테인 구동회로는 +Vs 및 -Vs의 양극성 전원을 사용함에 따라 스위치 전압 스트레스가 2Vs가 되어 스위치로서 전력밀도가 높으면서 가격이 낮은 IGBT를 사용해야 하지만 도통손실이 매우 커 발열에 문제점을 보인다. 제안하는 멀티레벨 단일 에너지 회수 서스테인 구동회로는 에너지 회수 인덕터에 의해 전압이 Vs로 유지되는 부유 캐패시터를 이용하여 가스 방전 스위치의 내압을 기존의 2Vs에서 Vs로 낮추게 되어 스위치 선택의 폭을 넓힐 뿐만 아니라 구동회로의 도통 손실을 개선하여 발열을 줄일 수 있다.

We developed ultra-accelerated quantum chemical molecular dynamics and spectroscopic characterization simulators for development of PDP materials. By combination of these simulators, realistic structure of PDP materials is drawn on the computer. Furthermore, based on the structures, various properties such as cathode luminescence spectrum and secondary electron emission, is successfully evaluated. The strategy of "Experiment integrated Computational Chemistry" using developed simulators will presented that has the potential in being powerful tool for designing the PDP materials.
