To improve the luminance and efficiency of AC PDP, the effects of a square pulse applied to the address electrode during a sustain-period is investigated. Through this experiment, we confirmed the improvement of luminance and efficiency. We performed the temporal behavior measurement for the light emitted from AC PDP at floating state of the address electrode and at various auxiliary voltages (including ground state) applied to the address electrode using the scanned point detecting system. In the case of using an auxiliary voltage pulse, emission starts at the inner edges of the anode and cathode simultaneously. Also, we obtained the larger two discharge volumes compared with the normal sustain discharge where address electrode is floated.

The effects of an auxiliary address pulse driving scheme, in which an auxiliary short pulse is applied to the address electrode during a sustain-period, were examined under the various image patterns of the 42-inch WVGA ac-PDP. When the auxiliary address pulse driving scheme was applied, the luminance of the red, green and blue cells were measured respectively. And the luminance, luminous efficiency, and current were measured under the full-white pattern of the 42-inch ac-PDP. As a result, the luminance of blue cells was improved approximately by 17 %, whereas the luminous efficiency of the full-white pattern was improved approximately by 34 % without a misfiring discharge in comparison with conventional driving scheme.

A characteristic of new waveform, called a negative waveform, was studied during reset and address periods. IR distribution, black luminance and time delay were measured to compare the negative waveform with the conventional positive waveform. Based on the analysis of IR measurement, the negative waveform could accumulate more wall charges than the positive waveform. Also the black luminance of negative waveform was lower than that of positive waveform under the same bias and ramp-slope conditions. During address period, the discharge time lag was measured. The negative waveform was showed 0.25 us faster formative time lag and 0.1 us faster average time lag than those of positive waveform.

To improve the luminance and luminous efficiency of a surface-discharge alternate current plasma display panel, we analyzed the sustain discharge characteristics as the voltage of the address electrode In the study. As the results, when the address voltage is a half of the sustain voltage in the sustain period, the luminance and luminance efficiency are the highest. The luminance efficiency increased about 16.2%~20.8% compared with the conventional type.

The relationships between driving voltage and the wall charge distribution in the address period of surface discharge type AC Plasma Display Panel have been investigated. The quantity of wall charge on each electrode are detected simultaneously from the electrode current after applying only one addressing discharge pulse. The wall charge Qy on the scan electrode Y is nearly the sum of Qx on the address electrode X and Qz on the sustain electrode Z. The Qy increased with the driving voltage regardless of the kind of electrode, whereas the address time Td decreased, Qz and Qy are increased considerably with the blocking voltage Vz, whereas Qx is decreased. The increase rate of Qx, Qy and Qz for increase in Vz was $-13{\times}10^{-2}$ (pc/Vz), and $60{\times}10^{-2}$ (pc/Vz) and $70{\times}10^{-2}$(pc/Vz), respectively.

This study is related to the realization of high speed address driving method for Full-HD PDP. The new self-priming addressing(SPA) driving scheme was proposed to improve an address discharge time lag, which utilizes the priming effect maintaining the priming discharge during an address period. In this study, the basic characteristics of the priming ramp discharge were investigated and optimize the reset pulse and priming pulse. It is noted that the address discharge time lag is significantly improved from 1.2[${\mu}s$] to 0.8[${\mu}s$] when the slope of the priming ramp pulse is below 0.1[$V/{\mu}s$].

ADS(Address Display period Separation) driving method has been considered to be the most appropriate driving technique for AC PDPs. However when the ADS driving method is applied to the high-resolution AC PDP, the required long addressing time often becomes a problem. In this paper, we present a new waveform for reducing the addressing time and for the stable addressing discharge. In this new waveform, a wall charge acceleration pulse is applied to the common electrode right after 80us scan time. In this way, the charge generated by the addressing discharge is accelerated to the electrodes. Experiments using the wall charge acceleration pulse showed that we could stably address an AC PDP with the scan pulses having pulse width of 1 us

The effect of auxiliary electrode on the discharge characteristics in AC PDP with long sustain-gap was investigated. The auxiliary electrode was placed between scan and common electrode. When the pulse was applied to the auxiliary electrode during sustain period, the luminance of Ne + 13%Xe gas-mixture discharge increased and the discharge current decreased. The auxiliary pulse plays a role of improving electron excitation efficiency. When the auxiliary pulse was applied during address period, the address discharge time lag of Ne + 13%Xe gas-mixture could be reduced remarkably.

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.

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
