A novel priming discharge technique in which the ramp shaped priming pulse is superposed on the sustain period so that the entire plasma display panel (PDP) is discharged at the same time with a single drive circuit is proposed. From the experimental results, it is ascertained that the priming discharge is ignited only in a pixel in which sustain discharge does not occur and it has been understood that the priming pulse hardly influences the sustain discharge. Moreover, high-speed driving with address pulse widths of 0.7[${\mu}s$] was achieved and a wide address voltage margin of 40[V] was obtained by using the drive method applied the proposed priming discharge technique. In these results, full-HDTV PDP with 1080 horizontal scanning lines can be driven without decreasing the brightness and the possibility of the commercializing is also high because this technology is designed for using the commercialized driver IC.

In this experiment, we have investigated that the transported space charge between sub-pixels in AC-plasma cell discharge. The test pulse 30 V, $5{\mu}s$ was applied to the address electrodes of neighbor cells of discharge occurred cells. And we have measured the transported space charge between sub-pixels in accordance with the various last sustain pulse widths t(time gap between the rising edges of sustain and test pulses) of 0.2 to $3{\mu}s$. It was observed that the peak value of transported space charge has been shown to be 21.5pC at $1.0{\mu}s$. And the IR peak value have been occured after $0.51{\mu}s$ with respect to sustain voltage.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of a newly proposed high-speed drive method for the gray scale display for high-resolution plasma display panels(PDP). In the experiment it was found that the characteristics of gray scale display are not closely affected by a priming period below 50[${\mu}s$], the width of the priming period, and that it can be driven stably from the brightest sub-field to the darkest sub-field even though a priming discharge is applied to the 1 TV-field only once. Moreover, from the experimental result, the gray scale pattern of 8-bit and 9 sub-fields was stably displayed in the experimental PDP with scan pulses having the pulse width of 0.7[${\mu}s$]. An address voltage margin of about 25[V] and a sustain voltage margin of about 10[V] was obtained.

A new multi-level type energy recovery sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel) is proposed in this paper. The multi-level driver has been developed to reduce the voltage stress on switching elements. Comparing the proposed driver with the conventional multi-level driver, 4 switching elements, 4 diodes, and two auxiliary capacitors are eliminated in the viewpoint of circuit structure. Moreover, the voltage stress on switching elements is more reduced and the sustain period is extended. To verify the validity of the proposed energy recovery circuit, computer simulations using PSpice program are carried out.

Hydrogen generation by electrical discharge through metal/water system is a viable method for on-demand applications. But its success depends on high energy efficiency defined as the ratio of the amount of consumed metal for a complete reaction with water to the electrical energy input. To improve the energy efficiency the electrical discharge has to sustain the hydrogen generation reaction with a minimal energy dissipation. Some experimental results on the discharge voltage-current profiles are reported and discussed.

One of the most serious problems in AC PDP is low luminous efficiency. One possible candidate for solving such a problem is using high Xe partial pressure. Increase of Xe percentages causes the driving voltage to rise, although brightness is increased. In this study, a new electrode structure is proposed to solve this problem. A test panel fabricated by using new electrode shows improvement of efficiency by 25% and reduction of sustain voltage by 20% compared with the conventional structure.

MgO(Magnesium Oxide) film was deposited by the Ion Plating method and the characteristics of the MgO films were analyzed by XRD and SEM. The MgO films prepared by Ion Plating were used in AC Plasma Display Panel and breakdown voltage, minimum sustain voltage and memory margin of fabricated panel were investigated.

A low cost PDP sustain power supply is proposed based on flyback topology. By using Boundary Conduction Method(BCM) to control input current regulation, DCM condition can be met under all load conditions. Another feature of the proposed method is that a excessive voltage stress due to the link voltage increase can be suppressed by removing link capacitor and suggest new 'Level-shifting switch driver'. this new gate driver is improved 66% of efficiency than switching loss of a existed push-pull amplifier. The proposed converter is tested with a 400W(200V-2A output) prototype circuit.

A novel driving technology of PDP, which enables to decrease the sustain voltage of conventional technology by half without lowering the gas discharging voltage. This technology, realizable without much increased cost of the semiconductor devices, gives a significant improvement in the power efficiency, essential for the design of a drive circuit for PDP. A comparative analysis and experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed driving technology.

Image sticking, the phenomenon that the previously displayed pattern still remains after the image is changed into different image, is one of the most serious problem in realizing high picture quality. In this paper, we tried characterizing this undesirable feature in terms of the luminance and the intial firing voltage at ramp up time in reset period. It was found that the cell located at the boundary of previous image pattern show low firing voltage and high background luminance. And the results show that the degree of the image sticking is severely affected by discharge duration and the length of the sustain period.
