P‐22: Improvement of Luminance Efficiency in an ACPDP by Self‐Erase Discharge Waveform

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes a novel waveform which improved the luminance efficiency of AC‐PDP without reducing the voltage margin. This waveform which induces self‐erase discharges by space charges, utilizes the memory effect of space charges like the puke memory of DC‐PDP, in addition to the memory effect of wall charges. More than a 15% higher efficiency is obtained in the 40‐inch diagonal XGA AC‐PDP developed by us when compared with the conventional waveform at the same operating point.
