Abstract

This paper presents a new self-erasing discharge mode for the improvement of luminous efficiency and color purity of an AC plasma display panel (AC PDP). A new self-erasing discharge mode is produced between successive sustain pulses. by simultaneously applying the auxiliary short pulses at the falling edge of the sustain pulses without cross-talk during a sustain period. As a result. the luminous efficiency and color gamut are improved by 16% and 5%, respectively.
