49.4: A New Driving Technology for PDPs with Cost-Effective Sustain Circuit(7. Circuits and Systems(Session 49))(Report on 2001 SID International Symposium)

We propose a new driving technology of PDPs, which enables to decrease the sustain voltage of conventional technology by half without lowering the gas discharge voltage, and also to cut down the number of MOS-FETs. Consequently, the cost of the driver circuit containing sustain circuit, scan driver IC and power supply can be greatly reduced.
