Abstract-A novel driver with discharge current compensation is proposed to drive an ac plasma display panel (PDP). This proposed circuit uses resonance between the inductor and the ac PDP to avoid abrupt charging/discharging. The four switches of the full bridge are all operated with zero-voltage-switching turn-on. In addition, an 8-in ac PDP equipped with the proposed driving circuit, operating at 100 kHz, is investigated. With the discharge current compensation, the experimental results show that the proposed driver can maintain the ac PDP to light at lower voltage (129 V).
