New shaped electrodes to reduce addressing time in a large AC plasma display panel

Abstract The addressing time can be reduced by modifying cell structure and/or driving circuits in order to replace the dual scan system by single scan in large ac plasma display panel(PDP). Moreover, the luminance of the PDP can also be increased by decreasing the addressing time. In this paper, various shapes of bus and address electrodes have been investigated with the aim of reducing the addressing time in ADS driving method. The experimental results show that the addressing time can be reduced by more than 30% compared with the conventional type by modifying the electrodes without reducing the luminance of the PDP.
