Modified pulse waveforms were applied to an AC plasma display panel with an auxiliary electrode in order to improve the operation voltage margin. Reciprocal sustain pulse waveforms and modified auxiliary pulse waveforms were applied to the sustain and auxiliary electrode, respectively. During the sustain period, the influence of the address electrode on the luminous efficacy of long-coplanar gap discharges was mitigated by application of reciprocal sustain pulse waveforms. Modified auxiliary pulse waveforms maintained the high efficacy obtained from the AC PDP with an auxiliary electrode. The proposed reciprocal sustain and modified auxiliary pulses waveforms can induce stable discharges in long-coplanar gap discharges and can control wall charges with a wider auxiliary pulse voltage margin, thereby enhancing the luminous efficacy of the AC PDP with an auxiliary electrode.

Electro_optical characteristics in AC-PDP are confined by a lots of parameters. especially driving pulse shape is very important to improve AC-PDP's luminosity and efficiency. In that experiment measure the luminosity, IR(Infra Red) peak value and response time as the increase of 1st, 2rd sustain pulse width. The VDS(Versatile Driving Simulator -developed by kwangwoon university-) was used to make driving pulse shape. It is found that IR response time after displacement current, Luminosity and IR peak value are changed on account of 1st,2rd sustain pulse width.

The gas discharge AND gate which have been newly proposed is applied to three electrode surface discharge AC PDP. The address discharge characteristics by the DC-AC floating discharge by which Y electrode is made floating electrode is analyzed The address discharge can be begun by using the floating discharge from the experiment result Moreover, the display discharge can be sustained. The DC priming discharge that the floating discharge is matched to timing is generated in a supplementary electrode. As a result, space charge is supplied enough to the space of the floating discharge and the data voltage is lowered up to l00(V). Driving method to use this DC-AC floating discharge is able to obtain the address operation margin of l00(V).

AC PDP의 구동방법 중 가장 대표적인 구동 법이라 할 수 있는 ADS 구동 법은 구현이 비교적 용이하고, 안정적인 구동특성으로 인하여 현재 많은 상용 AC PDP의 구동 법으로 널리 채택되고 있다. 본 논문은 현재 AC PDP의 주요 연구 분야 중에 하나인 고속 어드레싱에 관한 새로운 구동파형을 소개하였다. 기존 AD을 구동법은 초기화구간과 어드레스구간 그리고 유지구간이 명확히 분리되어 있어 FULL- HD급 화면을 구현하기 위해서 어드레싱에 소비되는 시간의 감소가 불가피하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 어드레스 펄스폭을 줄여주지만, 이로 인하여 불안정한 어드레싱을 초래하게 된다. AC PDP의 초기화 구간의 파형은 이후의 어드레스 특성에 중요한 영향을 끼치는데, 초기화간에 형성된 priming 입자는 어드레스 방전에 크게 도움을 준다. 본 논문은 초기화구간이 끝난 후 priming 효과가 급격히 떨어지는 80us이후에 벽전하 형성을 돕는 벽전하 가속펄스의 사용으로 짧은 어드레스 펄스폭으로 인한 불안정한 어드레싱을 보완하고, 어드레스 과정 후 유지방전 모드로의 벽전하의 형성을 빠르게 유도할 수 있어 1us의 짧은 어드레스 폭으로도 안정적인 어드레싱을 수행할 수 있도록 하였다.

Difference in the structure of AC PDP cells makes the cells have various discharge characteristics. Therefore, a ramp-reset must be adjusted for the stable driving of AC PDP. If any ramp-reset can reduce the difference in discharge characteristics between cells, the conditions of the address discharge could become almost the same. It is very important to understand these to design a good driving waveform. In this paper, we proved the mentioned facts with the change of barrier rib heights.

We present a new approach to analyzing the dynamic false contour noise of AC plasma display panels (PDP), which is known to degrade the image quality severely. Compared with the existing methods that consider only the amount of light emission from PDP during 1 field time, the proposed approach uses the impulse response model of the human vision system and estimates how the human beings actually feel as the function of time. Experimental results using various benchmark sub-field scan algorithms are included.

In this paper, we propose a newly developed selective reset waveform of a ac PDP using the wide erase pulse technique with the control of address bias voltage. Although it is generally understood that the wide pulse erasing methode shows the narrow driving margin in an opposite discharge type ac PDP, we could obtain a moderate driving margin in a 3-electrode surface discharge type ac PDP. The obtained driving margin shows a strong dependency on the sustain voltage and the address bias voltage. The lower the sustain and the address bias voltage, the wider the driving margin. The pulse width of the proposed waveform is only $10{\mu}s$, which gives additional time to the sustain period, hence increases the brightness. The brightness and contrast ratio increase about 20% together comparing to the conventional ramp type selective reset waveform with the driving scheme of 10 subfield ADS method. The driving margin was measured with the line by line addressed pattern on the white test panel of 2inch diagonal size and the discharge gas was Ne+Xe4%, 400torr.

The life of AC PDP depends largely on the sputtering-resistant property of the protecting layer such as MgO thin-film. However, it is very difficult to measure the sputtering-resistant property in the stable driving conditions of AC PDP. In this paper we have suggested a high speed measurement technique of the sputtering-resistant property of MgO thin-film by applying the MgO thin-film as the target of RF magnetron sputtering system. We have also applied this method to the e-beam MgO and sputter-MgO and e-beam MgO superior to sputter-MgO 3 times over. Also, the relation of Xe gas partial pressure(X) and sputtered thickness(Y) was Y=3.4X+13.5.

To improve the efficiency of PDP TV, it should minimize the power losses transpired during AC-to-DC power conversion and PDP driving process. Generally the input power supply for PDP driving employes a two-stage power factor corrected converter, and it needs additional DC-to-DC converters to supply driving power for reset circuit ed sustain driver, which has high power consumption. However, such a circuit configuration has a difficulty for the PDP market requires low cost. To alleviate this problem, a new circuit composition is presented. It integrates input power supply with reset and sustain driver in a single power stack The input power supply of the proposed circuit has a single-stage structure to minimize power conversion loss, and it directly supplies power to the sustain driver so as to reduce the system size and cost.

We have studied that the secondary electron emission characteristics of functional layers which have different kinds of MgO sub-micrometer size powder in AC-PDP. We used cathodoluminescence(CL) and gamma focused ion beam (${\gamma}$-FIB) system for measurement of secondary electron emission characteristics. Also we made 6 inch test panel which applied functional layers for evaluation of discharge characteristics.
