Abstract :
In this study, the basic characteristics of an address discharge have been investigated on the dependence of an address pulse voltage and its characteristics were analyzed by the wall voltage measurement method. During the address operation, the discharge between an address electrode and a scan electrode is first generated by an address pulse voltage and then the discharge between a scan electrode and a common electrode is induced. The resultant wall voltage between the address electrode and a scan electrode is strongly dependent on an address pulse voltage while the resultant wall voltage between a scan electrode and a common electrode is roughly independent on an address pulse voltage.
