초록

A new driving scheme is proposed to improve the color purity by reducing the neon (Ne) emission of 585 nm in an ac PDP. Applying the new driving scheme to the address electrodes during a sustain-period induces a new discharge mode that can reduce the Ne emission remarkably. For this new discharge mode, the change in the Ne emission intensity including the discharge characteristics is measured and the corresponding mechanism is also analyzed. As a result, it is found that a color gamut area is expanded by approximately 9.2 % in comparison with a conventional case.
