Improved luminance and luminous efficiency of AC plasma display panel

The effect of applying auxiliary pulses to the address electrode during the sustain period on the discharge characteristics of an AC plasma display panel was investigated. When auxiliary pulses of IOOV and 250wIz were applied to the address electrode during the sustain period, the maximum sustain. voltage was found to decrease by 14% while the minimum sustain voltage increased by 15% when compa...

Improvement of Luminance and Luminous Efficiency Using Address Voltage Pulse During Sustain-Period of AC-PDP

To improve the luminance and luminous efficiency of a surface-discharge alternate current plasma display panel (ac PDP), auxiliary voltage pulses were applied to the address electrode during a sustain-period. The luminance and luminous efficiency exhibited maximum values at an address voltage of 100 V and pulse width of 1 s. An improved luminance of 21.4% and luminous efficiency of 24% were sim...

AC-PDP Sustain Driver using Bidirectional Switches

Abstract To minimize the cost and power consumption of PDP TV, a practical sustain circuit topology is presented with an address-and-display-period-separated driving scheme. The proposed sustain driver employs bidirectional switches to reduce the number of components. Operational principles and corresponding features are illustrated and compared with the conventional approach. The valuable cont...

Fleet management for autonomous vehicles: Online PDP under special constraints

The VIPAFLEET project consists in developing models and algorithms for managing a fleet of Individual Public Autonomous Vehicles (VIPA). Hereby, we consider a fleet of cars distributed at specified stations in an industrial area to supply internal transportation, where the cars can be used in different modes of circulation (tram mode, elevator mode, taxi mode). One goal is to develop and implem...
