Abstract

The wall-charge behaviors of the conventional and two types of single-sustain waveforms during address and sustain periods are investigated based on a simulated result and a Vt close-curve analysis. The single-sustain waveform means that the sustain pulse having both positive and negative voltage levels is applied only to the single-side electrode, i.e., the scan (Y) electrode in this paper, where the common (X) electrode remains grounded. In the single-sustain waveform, the address discharge characteristics were observed to be improved by applying a higher voltage level without causing a misfiring discharge during an address period. An asymmetric IR emission was observed for both positive and negative sustain pulses during a sustain period, which was caused by the simultaneous discharge, including the plate gap discharge between the scan (Y) and the address (A) electrodes only when applying the negative sustain pulse to the scan (Y) electrode.
