Modified Reset Waveform to Widen Driving Margin under Low Address Voltage in AC-Plasma Display Panel

摘要

This paper proposes a new reset driving waveform to widen the driving margin under a low address voltage in AC-PDPs. The proposed reset waveform alters the wall charge distribution between the X-Y electrodes by applying an X-ramp bias prior to an address-period, thereby lowering the minimum level of the scan pulse (ΔV_y) during an address-period without any misfiring discharge in the off-cells. When adopting the proposed reset waveform, the address discharge time delay is reduced by about 200 ns at an address voltage of 35 V, while the related dynamic driving margin is wide under a low address voltage condition. The related phenomena are also examined using the V_t close-curve method.
