Abstract

We present new ramp-reset waveforms that realize fast addressing in AC-PDPs. These waveforms distort the distribution of wall charges on the surface of a phosphor layer: hence, the enhanced electric field helps to ignite a cell faster. They also reduce the black luminance: the divide of erasing ramp down discharges into two parts, i.e. a surface discharge and a vertical discharge, makes lower luminance.
