Abstract

The address and sustain discharge characteristics in plasma display panels (PDPs) are investigated and compared by the optical emission spectroscopy using the ICCD and Vt close-curve analysis. The observations on the xenon (Xe) emission show that the spatial and temporal evolutions in the first sustain discharge are quite different from those in the address and the other sustain discharges. The striation found in the conventional sustain discharge doesn't occur in the first sustain discharge. These different discharge behaviors are explained by employing the Vt close-curve.
