Abstract

According to the viewpoint of a driving scheme, the luminance and luminous efficiency is mainly determined during the sustain period. Therefore, it is very important to understand the characteristics of the wall voltage during the sustain period, which is essential to design the driving pulse scheme. In this study, the quantitative analysis of the wall voltage has been carried by the wall voltage measurement method during the sustain period. The initial difference of the wall voltage is sharply stabilized due to the sustain discharges and it is mainly determined by the sustain voltage. The wall voltage between the sustain electrodes is changed symmetrically for the reference voltage level, while the wall voltage between the address and sustain electrode is positively sustained which is roughly mean value of the total effective voltage.
