Reduction of temporal image sticking in ac plasma display panels through the use of high he contents

Abstract The temporal dark‐ and bright‐image sticking phenomena were examined relative to the He contents under 11% Xe content in the 50‐in HD and FHD AC‐PDPs with a ternary gas mixture (Xe‐He‐Ne). To compare the temporal dark‐ and bright‐image sticking phenomena under various He contents, the differences in the disappearing time, display luminance, perceived luminance, infrared emission, color coordinate, color temperature, and discharge current before and after discharge were measured under 0, 35, 50, and 70% He contents. It was found that temporal dark‐ and bright‐image sticking were reduced in proportion to the increase in He %. Thus, a high He content contributes to the reduction of temporal dark‐ and bright‐image sticking.
