Abstract :
A new reset while-address (RWA) driving scheme for a single scan of an XGA grade (1024 × 768) ac-plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed to improve the address discharge characteristics with a high Xe gas mixture (15%). To solve the conventional address problem of the gradual decrease in priming particles during an address period, the falling ramp waveform in the reset period is separated into two parts; the first part is applied at the beginning of the reset period and provides the priming particles during the first half of the address period, while the second part is applied in the middle of the address period to provide an additional supply of priming particles during the second half of the address period. As a result of adopting the proposed RWA driving scheme, address discharges were successfully produced within a 1.0-μs pulsewidth due to the presence of priming particles throughout the address period.
