We proposed the new reset waveform for reducing reset period. The square pulse is applied to the address electrode when the ramp pulse increases before a discharge occurs between sustain electrodes. If the discharge occurs between address electrode and X electrode, the wall charge is reversely accumulated between sustain electrodes compared with the applying voltage before the discharge occurs between sustain electrodes. So the next discharge more weakly occurs between sustain electrodes. If the more weak discharge is obtained, it can make the low background luminance and the high contrast ratio and reduce ramp up time in the ramp reset waveform.

The characteristics of the reset and the address discharges of an alternating current Plasma Display Panel (ac PDP) were studied using 2-dimensional numerical discharge cell simulation. We investigated the wall charge variations during the reset discharge adopting ramping reset pulse and the subsequent addressing discharge. The roles of the ramping reset scheme can be divided into two stages, each electrode gathers wall charges during ramping-up of the initial stage and the built-up wall charges are lost during ramping-down of the later stage. Address discharge does not only change the wall charge distributions on the address and the scan electrodes but also on the sustain electrode. The increase in the wall charges on the sustain electrode was observed with the variation of the applied voltage to the sustain electrode during the address period. The increase of the applied voltage to the sustain electrode during the address period is expected to induce the decrease of the sustain voltage during the display period.

The discharge characteristics of a ramp reset waveform in the alternating current plasma display panel(ac PDP) were studied using a 2-dimensional numerical simulation. We analyzed the wall charge variation during the reset discharge, address discharge and sustain discharge adopting a ramp reset waveform. Then we investigated the principal parameters for a successful discharge. In this paper, we suggest a new parameter, printing particles' density and its effects on the stability of the ramp discharge. The maximum current flows of the three electrodes during the ramp reset period were decreased with the increase in the priming particles's density which was explained with the wall charge characteristics and the current flow characteristics obtained by a 2-D simulation.

The ramp reset driving method proposed in [1] has been widely adopted because of its stability and high contrast ratio. However, when the conventional ramp reset method is used in PDPs of higher resolution, the long required time for reset often becomes a problem. In this paper, a new driving method that requires much less reset time and that significantly improves the contrast ratio is introduced. Using this new driving method, the required time for reset could be reduced to 150us from 350us of the conventional ramp reset method, and the contrast ratio is almost infinite because the luminance of the off-cell is almost zero.

A new dual-slope ramp (DSR) reset waveform is proposed to improve the dark room contrast ratio in AC-PDPs. The proposed reset waveform has two different voltage slopes during a ramp-up period. The first voltage slope is lower than the conventional ramp voltage slope, causing a reduction in the background luminance, whereas the second voltage slope is higher than the conventional ramp voltage slope, causing an increase in the background luminance. Thus, a bias voltage is also applied during the second voltage-slope period to adjust the background luminance and address discharge characteristics. As a result, the proposed dual-slope reset waveform can lower the background luminance, thereby improving the high dark room contrast ratio of an AC-PDP without reducing the address voltage margin

AC PDP의 구동파형은 Reset 구간에서 명암비를 높이고 화질향상을 위해서 전압파형을 서서히 증가시키고 또 감소시키는데, 이 전압파형의 기울기와 크기가 온도와 더불어서 PDP의 화질과 관련이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 Reset 구간에서 Y 전극에 인가하는 램프파형의 setup 및 setdown 구간에서의 기울기와 -Vy전압을 온도에 따라서 가변함으로써, 주위의 온도가 상온에서 저온이나 고온으로 변화하여도 PDP의 화질이 영향을 받지 않고 최상으로 유지하게 하는 온도 적응형 RESET 파형 발생회로를 제안하였다.

In AC plasma display, it is very important to quantify the wall voltage induced by the wall charge accumulated on the dielectric surface. If we know the quantities of the wall voltage in each period of every sequence; reset period, address period and sustain period, then it helps us to design the optimal driving waveform for high efficiency plasma display. We develop a new method to measure the wall voltage with VDS (Versatile Driving Simulator) system. From this method the wall voltage induced by a wall charge profiles just after the reset discharge of every cells in plasma display panel can be investigated and analyzed successfully. It is noted that the wall voltage profiles are influenced by the space charge and then they are stabilized as time goes by. It is also noted that both the remaining wall charge at the previous sequence and space charges contribute to wall voltage quantities just after the reset discharge. It is noted that the wall charges contribute dominantly after a few hundreds microseconds, while the space charges have been decayed within 100 ${\mu}s$ just after the reset discharge.

The effect of address discharge characteristics by selective reset method is investigated to prevent the weakness of address discharge in the middle of a TV-field without increase of the black luminance. To reduce black luminance in AC PDP usually, the first subfield during one TV frame adopted the conventional rising ramp-reset waveform, whereas the other subfields adopted the subsidiary reset waveform without rising ramp type. As the wall charge for the address discharge was accumulated by only the rising ramp waveform during the first reset period, the wall charge on three electrodes was disappeared as time passed and the address discharge would be weakened in the rear subfields. To prevent a reduction of the address discharge characteristics without decrease the black luminance, the modified rising ramp reset waveform was adopted only in the sixth subfield. As a result, a modified driving method could improve the address discharge characteristics compared with selective reset driving scheme with almost the same black luminance.

In order to achieve high efficiency and low cost, new high-speed addressing method is suggested. This can be implemented by reducing the address discharge time lag through the priming effect. This paper suggests a new ADR(Address During Reset) driving method which provides priming particles by a separated driving method without adding auxiliary electrode or auxiliary discharge. The experimental results show an approximately 100ns reduction in the formative delay time of address discharge and a reduction in jitter of over 200ns. Also, due to enough time being available for reset, there was a reduction of about 29$\%$ in linht emitted during the reset period considerably.

A selective reset waveform which can improve the dark room contrast ratio in a large sustain gap structure is suggested in this paper. When conventional selective reset discharge is performed, frequent unexpected misfiring happens because of high Vxb and much quantity of negative wall charge formed on Y electrode during final sustain period. The misfiring between sustain electrode and address electrode can be removed by lowering Vxb value and the misfiring between address electrode and scan electrode can be prevented by applying last sustain pulse of 40us and rectangular pulse of Vscan on Y electrode. When the selective reset waveform has one time reset per 8 subfields, black luminance of 1.55 cd/m2 can be obtained without any misfiring.
