Abstract

The discharge characteristic of a novel AC PDP with Shadow mask (SM-PDP) has been studied with 2-D and 3-D simulations. Compared with the conventional coplanar PDP, the SM-PDP has lower ignition voltage, higher response frequency and higher brightness. It's easy to realize a high definition display while keeping a good performance with the SM-PDP. The discharge process as measured with a fast Intensified CCD (ICCD) compares favorably with the simulation results.
