Abstract
The characteristics of the address discharge of an alternating current plasma display panel (ac PDP) adopting a ramping reset pulse were studied using two-dimensional (2-D) numerical simulation. We investigated the principal parameters of the reset pulse for a successful address discharge. In this paper, we suggest a new parameter, the terminal voltage of the ramping reset pulse, and its effects on the minimum address voltage and current flow characteristics during the address discharge. The minimum addressing voltage was decreased with the increase in the ramping-down time and with the increase in the terminal voltage of the ramping reset pulse which were explained with the wall charge characteristics obtained by a 2-D simulation and confirmed through the ac PDP experiment.
