Improvement of the sustain‐driving characteristics of AC PDP by changing the position of the inductor

Abstract The characteristics of the sustain‐driving circuit were examined in this paper. The sustain‐driving circuit is in charge of the most important part of PDP driving because it manages most of the power consumption in the PDP. A couple of gate‐driving circuits for the sustain‐driving circuit were introduced in this paper, and a new driving circuit was also proposed. This new circuit is more cost‐effective and has a simpler PCB layout compared to the conventional one. Some additional driving advantages were noted as well.
