In the commercializing process of plasma display panels, enhancing the luminous efficiency of the panel to reduce the power consumption is one of the most imminent objectives. A novel sustaining waveform with higher luminous efficiency and its corresponding energy-recovery driving circuit are proposed. Under the experiment of a 42-inch plasma panel, the luminous efficiency is enhanced more than 30%. The proposed sustaining waveform can also be operated at the appropriate frequency around 180kHz to get the large margin of the sustaining voltage.
A novel PC‐based automatic aging system (AAS) is presented to automatically age plasma display panel (PDP). The AAS has been built for Acer Display Technology, Inc., Taiwan. The experimental and practical tests give satisfactory results and illustrate that the PC‐based aging system has been effective in reducing the available manpower as well as cost, and increasing the quality, efficiency, and repeatability of the aging job.
While a moving image is displayed on AC-PDP, disturbances of gray scales and colors may be observed. Various methods to improve the image quality are quantitatively compared. Motion image disturbance on AC-PDP has been properly simulated on a computer by using a simple eye-tracking model to simplify the relation between the moving image on AC-PDP, light emission from the PDP, and the captured image with disturbance on retina. From the simulation results, we can easily choose an effective light emission scheme to improve the moving image quality on AC-PDP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
