13.1: New Single Sustain System with High Voltage Address Driver (Hi‐AD) for Low Power Consumption and Low Cost PDPs

This paper presents a novel single sustain PDP with a high voltage address driver (Hi-AD) that has an address supply voltage equal to the sustain voltage and does not change wall voltage on the address electrode side during sustain periods. The Hi-AD system reduced the luminance degradation to only 1% after 1000 hours. A power consumption in an all black display condition for the Hi-AD system is 28 % less than that for a conventional dual sustain system.
