A new reset method for high contrast ratio and reduction of the reset time is presented. In this new reset method, except the first subfield, a new reset pulse with only ramp-up period is adopted. In this reset method, from the third subfield, the background luminance generated during the reset period is theoretically zero until the first subfield of the following frame. Employing the new reset method, the dark room contrast ratio improved to 3084.7:1 from 189.1:1 of the conventional reset method. The new reset method reduced the required time for reset per subfield to 160us except the first subfield.

The voltage controlled ramp(VCR) waveform has recently been introduced in the reset period prior to addressing for plasma display. However, this method results in the oscillation of the gap voltage when the ramp rate is increased so as to reduce reset period. In this paper a current controlled ramp(CCR) waveform method in the reset period is suggested. This method can suppress the oscillation of gap voltage under the condition of shorter ramp time. Moreover, the reset time can be reduced by about 30 % compared with the VCR method under the same background luminance.

A new reset waveform is proposed for reducing the reset period. A square pulse is applied to the address electrode while reset pulse ramps and before a discharge between the sustain electrodes occurs. The square pulse induces a discharge between the address electrode and the X electrode, and the induced wall charge is opposite to the applied ramp pulse. Thus, the next discharge between the sustain electrodes becomes weaker. The weaker discharge lowers background luminance and improves contrast ratio. Thus, the new reset waveform can reduce ramp up time in the ramp reset waveform The experimental results show that the ramp up time can be reduced by about 90% compared with the conventional ramp reset waveform.

In general, the background light that is produced during the reset period deteriorates the dark room contrast ratio in AC PDP. In this paper, we propose a modified ramp reset pulse that can reduce the background light to an imperceptible level. In the new reset waveform, the discharges between the scan and sustain electrodes are minimized by applying a positive bias voltage to the sustain electrode and only the weak discharges between the scan and address electrodes are found to occur during the reset period. We also adopted the MgO coated phosphor layer to improve the address voltage margin that was reduced when the bias voltage in the modified ramp reset waveform was applied. As a result, the address voltage margin of 45 V which is the same level of the conventional method was ortained and the dark room contrast ratio was improved up to 7500 : 1.

In the new reset waveform, the discharges between the scan and sustain electrodes are minimized by applying a positive bias voltage to the sustain electrode and only the weak discharges between the scan and address electrodes occur during the reset period. We adopted a MgO coated phosphor layer to get the same level of voltage margin in the new reset pulse scheme compared to that of the conventional ramp reset pulse one. As a result, the voltage margin is maintained at the same level and the dark room contrast ratio is improved dramatically.

We measure the spatiotemporal wall charge distributions on sustain and address electrodes during reset period in an ac PDP cell using the longitudinal electro-optic amplitude modulation method. We apply several reset waveforms like as ramp, exponentially growing and high voltage pulse, and compare the wall charge characteristics on address electrode as well as sustain electrodes for each reset waveforms.

A negative waveform was studied to improve the driving characteristics of reset and address periods in ac PDP. Comparative experiments between negative and conventional positive waveforms were performed with 42-inch XGA PDP module. The negative waveform showed lower breakdown voltage than the conventional positive waveform in reset period. Due to its weak and stable discharge during reset period, the contrast ratio was improved by decreasing the black luminance. During address period, the discharge time-lag was measured. The formative time lag ($=T_f$) of negative waveform was improved about 22.8% than $T_f$ of conventional positive waveform.

Period which does an electric condition of panel in reset in the driving method of PDP is reset period. This research experimentally analyzed the priming discharge characteristic of reset period. The amount of wall charge and the accumulation time accumulated by priming discharge are unrelated to width of priming pulse. And, self-erase discharge has the relation in the amount of wall charge by priming discharge. Then, it relates also to space charge generated by priming discharge. Moreover, space charge which helps self-erase discharge exists to about 22$mutextrm{s}$ after generating priming discharge. And, it is suitable within 12$mutextrm{s}$ of priming pulse width for efficient reset.

A new reset waveform with negative ramp pulse was proposed. Comparative experiments between the negative and positive waveforms were performed. During reset period, IR distributions and luminance of black and white conditions were measured with the 42-inch XGA PDP module. The negative waveform improved contrast ratio about 15.4 ~ 22.5 % than the positive waveform by lowing the black luminance in reset period. Z bias (= Vbb) of the positive waveform was 27 V higher than the negative waveform.
