New driving scheme for improving color temperature of plasma display panel

This paper presents a new driving scheme for improving the color temperature of Plasma Display Panel-Televisions (PDP-TVs). Auxiliary address pulses, plus sustain pulses applied to sustain electrodes, are applied only to address electrodes with blue phosphor layers during a sustain-period, thereby resulting in increasing the luminance of blue cells among the red, green, and blue cells. When compared with the conventional driving scheme, the proposed driving scheme can improve the color temperature of PDP-TVs without reducing the luminance.
