Abstract

The discharge characteristics of AC plasma display were investigated as a function of the voltage and the frequency of the pulses applied to the address electrode during sustain period. The maximum sustain voltage of display cell decreased with increasing the frequency of the pulses applied to the address electrode during sustain period. Applying the pulses to the address electrode resulted in improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency at the same time.
