The method of supplying a single voltage source to a drive has a weak point that we can not determine whether discharging cells of a upper panel in a PDP(Plasma display panel) operate properly or not in the step of testing a durable voltage. From this paper, we can make more reliable products by the design-method of a power-module, for testing a durable voltage, that can determine if discharging cells in a upper pannel in a PDP have something wrong in variously supplied voltage sources.

One of important factors responsible for image sticking in AC PDP is a sputtering of MgO layer under ionic bombardment. Sputtered Mg particles can migrate to the neighbor cells, where the migration makes a change of discharge condition. It leads to the local non-uniformity of a luminescence in the panel, resulting in the image sticking.

The effects of ambient temperature on the discharge characteristics of Ne-Xe based micro discharge cells for ac-PDP (plasma display panel) have been studied. In ramp voltage driving, which is generally used as a reset method of PDP, two dissimilar modes of strong and weak discharge were found. As the interval between the former sustaining discharge and ramp voltage discharge becomes greater, the probability of a strong discharge increases. This suggests that a sufficient number of priming particles is necessary for initiating weak mode (Townsend discharge). It was discovered that under higher ambient temperatures, weak discharge occurs more frequently. The discharge time lag observed in square pulse driving of single cells becomes surprisingly smaller under higher ambient temperatures for the constant gas number density condition.

A plasma display panel(PDP) with a new discharge cells are investigated electrically and optically. These cells have the structure of a long discharge path length and a small electrode area. They have shown a higher luminous efficiency and a lower power consumption about $30{\sim}40%$ improvement than the conventional standard ac PDP cells.

A new type ac plasma display panel(PDP) cells are designed and tested electrically and optically. One cell has the structure of sin discharge path shape and small electrode area. The other cells have the non-symmetric structure with a same electrode area. They show a higher luminous efficienccy and a lower power consumption about 25% improvement than the conventional standard ac PDP cells.

In darkroom condition, it was observed that a white picture pattern lasted several minutes leaves a recognizable trace in subsequent black background picture. Although this is not a serious problem for the most current public display or home TV applications, the image sticking should be minimized for future high quality multimedia display applications. In order to characterize this picture memory effect having relatively long time scale, spatially resolved luminance measurement and light waveform measurement have been performed. Pixels located at the outer boundary of white pattern previously displayed shows highest luminance. These cells also shows fastest ignition at the ramp up reset sequence. The luminance and ignition voltage differences between boundary cells and the other cells are increased with display duration and number of sustain-pulse. It is speculated that image sticking observed at the boundary cell is originated from the transport of charged particles and re-deposition of reactive species such as Mg, O provided from strong sustain discharge region.

The laser absorption spectroscopy has been used for measuresurement of the xenon atoms in the resonant $1S_4$ and metastable $1S_5$ states in coplanar AC PDP. For the purpose of improving VUV luminous efficiency and optimization of PDP cells, it is important to study behavior of excited Xe atoms in a micro-discharge cell of a coplanar AC-PDP. We measured the xenon excited density of $1S_5$ and $1S_4$ state under mixture gas of Ne-Xe(10%) with gas pressure of 350 Torr and sustaining gap distance of 150 um.

This paper proposes a method to drive an AC plasma display panel(PDP) with a significantly improved contrast ratio. In the proposed method, during the first sub-field of one frame, all PDP cells are reset by the ramp waveform, and during the other sub-field, only the cells turned on in the previous sub-field are reset. No light is emitted during the reset period of every sub-field except the first sub-field. For a 10-bit picture, the luminance of the dark level for the proposed method is 10 times lower than that for the conventional method, in which the ramp waveform for the reset is used in every sub-field. Accordingly, the contrast ratio for the proposed method is 10 times higher than that for the conventional method. For the 10-bit picture, the measured contrast ratio was about 3080:1 for the proposed method and about 285:1 with the conventional method, a result the contrast ratio has been increased in 10.8 times. This result shows that the proposed method can realize an image with high contrast ratio.

PDP(Plasma Display Panel) driving circuit requires switching devices and capacitors to stand up high voltages over 150volts. Thereby the power consumption and the cost of a PDP driving circuit increase. In this paper, a PDP driving circuit is proposed that can be operated with a lower supply voltage than the supply voltage of conventional driving circuit. The operation of the proposed driving circuit is verified by the computer simulation and experiments. PSPICE simulation and experiments results show that the output signal can drive PDP cells when the supply voltage is higher than 40volts.

The vacuum sealing method is adopted to minimize the residual impurity gas by enhancing a base vacuum level, and the resultant changes in the reset, address, and sustain discharge characteristics, such as a firing voltage, IR emission, and ICCD image, were examined in comparison with the conventional sealing method in the 42-in. AC-PDP. In the PDP cells fabricated by the vacuum sealing method, the ICCD observation illustrates that the discharge is initiated and extinguished very fast and its IR emission intensity is high.
