The conventional AC PDP has a relatively low efficiency which is close to 1.5 lm/W. If the AC sustain period is replaced by the RF sustain period, due to oscillating and low electric field, almost 60% of the supplied energy is spent by Xe excitation [1]. The efficiency of RF PDP can be $4{\sim}5$ times higher than that of AC PDP. In this paper, we will present the RF PDP that is a new type of PDP. A new display method in PDP using RF pulses is suggested and applied on a 4-inch-diagonal Panel (hereinafter 4" panel). Even though there were many researches in RF discharge, there was not enough research for display application. Now we propose the RF PDP that is a new display field and we will expect to do more research in this field.

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.

본 논문에서 제안한 ac-PDP(Plasma display panel) 셀구조는 Long gap의 전극 사이에 보조 전극을 삽입한 구조이다. 일반적으로, long gap 구조를 가진 PDP cell은 높은 방전 개시 전압을 가지므로, Long gap 전극 사이에 보조전극을 삽입하여 방전 개시 전압을 낮춤과 동시에 휘도 상승, 소비 전력의 감소효과로 발광효율의 향상을 가져왔다. 제안한 구조의 구동을 위하여 asymmetric mode와 long gap mode라는 2가지 파형을 가지고 실험하였다. 두 파형은 공통적으로 기존의 ADS(Address and Display period Separated)파형을 Y(Scan), Z(Common), A(Address) 전극에 인가하였으며, 보조적극에는 Z(Common) 전극의 파형을 수정한 형태로 인가하였다. Asymmetric mode는 보조전극에 Z(Common) 전극에 인가되는 파형과 같은 형태의 파형을 인가하여 Long gap의 구조를 가지지만 Short gap에서 방전이 가능하도록 설계하였고, long gap mode는 보조전극에 인가되는 Z(Common) 파형 중 sustain pulse를 초기 3개만을 주어 Short gap에서 방전을 개시함과 동시에 priming 입자를 생성하고, 나머지 sustain 구간에서는 floating시켜 이미 생성된 priming 입자를 long gap에서 구동을 가능하도록 하였다.

Influence of sustain pulse-width on electro-luminous efficiency is experimentally investigated for surface discharge of AC-PDP. A square pulse with variable duty ratio and rising time of 300 ns has been used in the experiment. It is found that the firing voltage is decreased as the pulse-width is increased from 2 ${\mu}s$ to 8 ${\mu}s$ with sweeping frequency range of 10 kHz to 50 kHz. It has been found that the optimal sustain pulse-width is in the range of $3{\sim}4{\mu}s$ under driving frequency range of 30 kHz and 50 kHz, based on observation of memory coefficient, wall charge, and wall voltage as well as luminous efficiency.

본 논문에서는 HDTV급 이상의 고해상도 AC PDP를 구동할 수 있는 새로운 구동방식을 제안하였다. 제안한 구동방식은 유지방전 펄스의 상승부와 하강부를 어드레스 방전에 이용하여 0.85${\mu}s$의 데이터 펄스 및 스캔 펄스 쪽으로 어드레스 방전이 가능하고 위상차이가 있는 유지방전 펄스를 인가하여 어드레스 방전의 횟수를 증가시켜 고해상도의 AC PDP패널을 고휘도로 구동할 수 있다. 유지 방전 주파수가 125kHz이고 4개의 위상차이를 줄 경우 최대 2080 수평해상도의 패널을 구동 할 수 있다. 이를 확인하기 위해 $30{\times}58$ 해상도의 4인치 칼라 AC PDP를 제한한 구동방식으로 구동하였으며 전압이 140V이고 주파수가 125kHz인 유지방전 펄스로 화면 잡음 없이 850 $cd/m^2$의 고휘도를 구현하였다.

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 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.

As a direct-view flat panel displays, there are many devices, such as plasma display panels(PDPs), vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs), and light emitting diode(LED). Among these, a PDP is the first type of panel display to be made commercially available. A 'Plasma display' is the general term for a flat display utilizing the light emission that is produced by gas discharge. However, the brightness and Luminous efficiency are still not adequate for consumer television. So, the new sustain electrode type of ac PDP was proposed. By arranging the transparent electrode of quadrangle by zigzag, the area of electrode are reduced, and the length of electrode gap is increased. It generates a high luminous efficiency(corresponding to a 40% improvement of standard type), the same discharge voltage characteristics, and the low power consumption at same luminance.

High efficiency and low cost sustain driver for plasma display panel (PDP) with current fed is proposed. Main concept of the proposed circuit is using the current source to charge and discharge panel. As a result, all power switches can achieve the zero voltage switching (ZVS) and every auxiliary switch can also do the zero current switching (ZCS). Moreover, since the inductor current can compensate the discharge current, the current stress of all power switches can be reduced considerably. Furthermore, it has features as a simpler structure, less mass, less cost, and lower electromagnetic interference than prior circuit.
