3 What is Plasma Solid Liquid Gas Plasma Atom Atom CLICK + + - + - + + -
Low Temperature High Solid Liquid Gas Plasma + + - + - + + - + - + It is well known that all objects on the earth are consist of solid, liquid or gas. However there is one more condition which is called Plasma. Plasma is that Atom is ionized to Ion and Electron. CLICK all most of things in the universe are Plasma state. + + - - + + Ion - Electron Atom Atom CLICK

4 Plasma - UV - - + Temperature or Voltage potential CLICK
When some energy pressure like high temperature or high voltage is applied to atom. The energy increased higher than certain level, CLICK Electron leave from Ion.(This is called discharge) Energy pressure is continuously applied ionization state is kept. This is called Plasma. Plasma generate Ultra Violet Lay. Plasma also generate some other radiation such as Infrared Ray, different frequencies Electro-magnetic. Temperature or Voltage potential CLICK

5 Discharge . ~ Fluorescence lamp Start Discharge Discharge
Low Pressure Gas . UV ~ Visible Light Start Discharge Plasma is used for our house or office light as Fluorescence lamp. Fluorescence lamp is the glass tube which low pressure gas is sealed with two electrodes. CLICK Some voltage is supplied between two electrodes discharge start. Gas is ionized and Ultra violet lay (UV) is generated. UV hits the fluorescence substance and visible light is emitted. However to start discharge higher voltage is required( start voltage or Pilot voltage). After discharge start supply voltage can decline to keep discharge . Discharge Start Voltage Voltage Normal Glow Current CLICK CLICK

Move to Basic plasma display pixel structure. CLICK CLICK

7 Pixel Structure Rib Rib Colour Phosphor Scan Electrode Data Electrode
Xenon + Neon Sustain Electrode Approximately 1.2 millions pixels (852 x 3{3 colours} x 480) are formed between rear and front glasses plate. 2 glass plate have 3mm depth. CLICK 3 electrodes is located on glass plates, Data electrode is on rear glass and scan and sustain electrodes are on front glass. Scan and Sustain electrodes are made by transparent material. Each colour`s area are divided by the Ribs. Dielectrics are painted on rear and front glasses.(Overcoat (MgO) is also applied on the front glass) Colour phosphor is applied . Low pressure(Approx Torr) of Xenon and Neon gas is applied into the pixels and sealed. IR(Infrared Lay) / EMI(Electro-Magnetic interference) filter glass is applied in front of front glass. Dielectrics Aluminum Base Rib Rear Glass Front Glass CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

8 Clear the Electric charge
Initialization Clear the Electric charge = Pixel can not be controlled if the electric charge is remained. Therefore at first all remained charges are cleared by Initialization. CLICK CLICK

9 Initialization +++ +++ Vs CLICK CLICK | | | | | |
| | | | | | Vs +++ +++ To remove(Initialize) Electric charge(wall voltage), sharp edge pulse is applied to sustain electrode and make discharge short period. Then any electric charge(wall voltage) is initialized. CLICK From 2nd sub field this function initialize remaining wall Voltage. CLICK CLICK

10 = Write (Address) Select the emission required Pixel CLICK
2nd function is Write(address) which select the emission required pixel. CLICK CLICK

11 Drive Write +++++ +++++ Ionization + Ions - Electrons CLICK CLICK
Discharge Ionization +++++ | | | | | +++++ | | | | | Data Pulse Scan Pulse CLICK Data Pulse which is positive polarity is input to data electrode and Scan pulse which is negative polarity is input to scan electrode simultaneously. That means sum of data and scan pulses voltage is applied between two electrodes as discharge start voltage. Discharge is started into the pixel and gas is ionized. + Ions - Electrons CLICK CLICK

12 Wall Voltage ++++ +++++ Vw CLICK CLICK | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | ++++ +++++ | | | | Vw After input pulses gone, Ions and Electrons which is generated by discharge are charged on the dielectric around the electrodes. This charge is called Wall Voltage (Pilot voltage). This operation is called Write which data “1” is memorized into a pixel. CLICK CLICK CLICK

13 Sustain Emit the visible light = Move to sustain function. CLICK CLICK

14 Sustain Step 1 ++++ +++ Vs Vs + Vw CLICK CLICK | | | | | | | CLICK
| | | | | | | CLICK Negative polarity’s Sustain pulse is input between sustain and scan electrodes and voltage potential between two electrodes becomes sum of Sustain pulse and wall voltage. Then discharge start again. (However if wall voltage is not charged on the pixel discharge can not start even sustain pulse is supplied.) CLICK CLICK

15 Sustain Step 2 +++ +++ Vs CLICK | | | | | | CLICK
| | | +++ Vs +++ | | | CLICK Ions and Electrons which is generated by 1st sustain discharge are charged on the pixel wall(dielectric) around the electrodes. CLICK

16 Sustain Step 3 +++ Vw CLICK | | |
| | | Vw +++ This electric charge will be next discharge`s wall voltage. Polarity of 2nd charge is reversed from initialization wall voltage. CLICK CLICK

17 Sustain Step 4 +++ +++ Vs Vs + Vw CLICK | | | | | | CLICK
| | | | | | Vs + Vw Vs +++ +++ CLICK Positive polarity’s Sustain pulse is input between sustain and scan electrodes and discharge start again. CLICK

18 Sustain Step 5 +++ +++ Vs CLICK | | | | | | CLICK
| | | Vs | | | +++ CLICK Ions and Electrons which is generated by 2nd sustain discharge are charged on the pixel wall(dielectric) around the electrodes. CLICK

19 AC Drive Type Plasma Display
Sustain Cycle Repeat Step 1 to Step 5 Sustain Pulse To keep discharge continuously step 1 to 5 operation will be repeated. As this result sustain pulse is alternated. Therefore we call this drive system AC Drive type. (There is one other system called DC drive system which sustain voltage is supplied only one direction.) CLICK AC Drive Type Plasma Display CLICK

20 Light Emission UV UV CLICK
Ultra Violet lays are generated By the sustain operation and they are converted to visible lights by Colour phosphor. Level of visible light will be increased by sustain discharge time. CLICK UV CLICK

21 Sub Field Initialize Sustain
Write Sustain Address Period Sustain Period Initialize, Write and sustain function’s cycle is called Sub-Field. Initialize and Write period are specially called Address period. Sub-Field cycle is Key of PDP picture reproduction operation. CLICK Sub Field CLICK

22 Picture Reproduction 1. Comparison 2. Scan 3. Emission
4. Brightness control (Sub-Field Drive) Move to next section. We explain how to reproduce the picture on PDP through following 4 points. 1. CRT comparison 2. Scan method 3. Emission method 4. Brightness control method CLICK CLICK

23 PDP vs CRT CRT PDP Interlace Progressive
Scan Dot Sequence Line Sequence Interlace Progressive Emission Dot Sequence Simultaneous Phosphor Electron Ultra Violet Lay Excitation Brightness Beam Current Discharge Time Control (Sub-Filed Drive) Scanning, Emission, Colour phosphor, and brightness control method of PDP and CRT is completely different . Will explain one by one. CLICK CLICK

24 Line Sequence Scan Line Sequence Dot Sequence Y1 Y1 Y2 Y2 Y3 Y3 Y4 Y4
CRT use Dot sequence scanning system which address (select) emission point in order. (from left to right and move to next lower line.) PDP use Line sequence scanning which address one line’s emission points simultaneously and move to next lower line. CLICK Line Sequence (PDP/LCD) Dot Sequence (CRT) CLICK

25 Progressive Scan Interlace Progressive (CRT) (PDP) CLICK CLICK
Please see interlace and progressive scanning difference. CLICK Interlace scanning is used for conventional CRT TV`s. To display one picture scanning is carried out twice because picture(Frame) is divided to 2 section(Field). Progressive scanning is used for PDP, Flicker free TV, LCD and High-definition TV. To display one picture scanning is carried out once. Interlace (CRT) Progressive (PDP) CLICK CLICK

26 Emission Dot Sequence Simultaneous Emission Emission (CRT) (PDP) CLICK
One of biggest difference between CRT and PDP is that Scanning and emission of CRT are carried out simultaneously but PDP’s scanning and emission are done separately. Please see the difference. CLICK However all pixels on PDP screen are emitted at the same time after the address(scanning). Dot Sequence Emission (CRT) Simultaneous Emission (PDP) CLICK CLICK

27 Sub Field Drive System =
1 TV Field = 8 Sub Fields 1st 2nd 3rd th th th th th Sub-Field drive is PDP unique system. One pixel’s brightness level for one picture(one Field) is reproduced by 8 times Sub-Field operations. Each Sub-Field’s address period are all same.(This means address operations are same.) But Sustain period of each Sub-Field are different. 1st Sub-Field(SF) reproduce only 1 step of brightness. 2nd SF reproduce 2 step of brightness. Each SF ‘s sustain period are increased in order to binary code counting. So that sustain period increase as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. As the result total 256 brightness difference can be displayed on the screen. This method is called Sub-Field Drive system. CLICK Address Period CLICK

28 Sub Field Drive 8 Sub Fields Vertical Scan CLICK CLICK CLICK Time
7th Sub-field 8th Sub-field Initialize Vertical Scan During the address period Initialization and vertical scan is carried out . Then brightness of each pixels is increased during sustain period. CLICK For example 7th and 8th sub-Field’s initialization, scanning and sustain are done like this. Vertical Scan = Write Sustain CLICK CLICK CLICK

29 // // // // Y1 // Y2 Y3 // // Y480 Vertical Scan Vertical Scan
R Data // G Data // B Data // Y1 // Y2 Y3 // This shows the relation of each colours data pulse and scan pulse. CLICK For example Y1 lines scan pulse and R and B data pulses are matched. Then Y1-Red and Y1-Blue pixels are addressed (Means wall voltage is charged.) But G data is “0”. Then Y1-Green pixel has no-wall voltage. CLICK 3 times This function is carried out for all lines. Vertical Scan Initialization // Y480 CLICK CLICK 3 times CLICK 1 Sub Field

31 Brightness Control 8 Sub Fields t Pixels CLICK Very Bright Bright Dark
Very Bright Bright 8 bits data select(Address) which sub-Field will be used for sustain or not.(Write) Then selected sub-field are sustained the discharge. As the result sum of sustain time set the brightness level of pixel. Very bright picture’s pixel is set to 256 steps brightness level. Bright picture’s pixel is set to 137 steps brightness level. Dark picture’s pixel is set to 23 steps brightness level.. Very dark picture’s pixel is set to 2 steps brightness level. CLICK Dark Very Dark t Pixels CLICK

34 Weakness of PDP 1. Black Reproduction 2. Motion Picture Disturbance
3. After Image (Burning) 4. High Panel Current 5. Transportation damage 6. Barometric Pressure Next we will explain weakness of PDP. To reproduce moving picture by PDP we found some of PDP unique problem. First one is Black reproduction . Second is Motion Picture Disturbance(False noise and colour) Third is After Image. Fourth is that PDP needs high Power consumption. CLICK CLICK

35 Side effect of Sub-Field Drive Initialization Discharge
1. Black Reproduction CRT`s Black PDP`s Black 0 Beam 0 Sustain Reason Side effect of Sub-Field Drive In case of CRT display, if beam current is “0” screen has no emission. But PDP’s black picture has small emission. CLICK PDP need initialization discharge at each Sub-Field even signal data is all ”0”. That means 8 times discharge is occurred at each field. This is side effect of Sub-Field Drive system. Initialization Discharge CLICK CLICK

36 1. Pixels Emission Timing Difference due to Sub-Field Drive System
2. Motion Picture Disturbance Reason 1. Pixels Emission Timing Difference due to Sub-Field Drive System 2. Human Eyes Visual Sense Speed Next W can see strange phenomenon on moving picture. We call this Motion Picture Disturbance(MPD). Reason of this problem is relation of pixels emission timing difference and Human eyes visual sense. This is caused by Sub-Field Drive System. CLICK CLICK

37 1) Object move to right False Noise & Colour CLICK 4 times CLICK
Show you simulation of this phenomenon. When a person is displayed on the left side of the screen. Then if he move to right side of screen , CLICK 4 times with picture change. Black noise appear side edge of him. Also red line appear on his cheek. To repeat demonstration Press “ P “ key 4 times. And CLICK 4 times again. False Noise & Colour CLICK 4 times CLICK

38 2) Object move to Left False Noise & Colour CLICK 4 times CLICK
When a person is displayed on the right side of the screen. Then if he move to left side of screen , CLICK 4 times with picture change. white noise appear side edge of him. Also green line appear on his cheek. To repeat this Press “ P “ key 4 times. And CLICK 4 times again. False Noise & Colour CLICK 4 times CLICK

39 Pixels Discharge time Discharge off CLICK CLICK 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128
127 This phenomenon is caused by Sub-Field drive system. For example If there is white pattern signal but it has 128 steps (50% APL) and 127steps(49%APL) white level area. CLICK If these slight level different area sift to right, black noise can be seen. Because the emission timing of 127 steps area and 128 steps area is not matched. 127 steps area use from 1st to 7th sub-field . 128 steps area use only 8th sub-field. 127 Discharge time Discharge off CLICK CLICK

CLICK However when picture move to right side blanking is done for twice at the edge part. Long blanking period can be seen as black noise called false noise. If picture move to right to left white false noise can be seen. 128 128 128 128 128 127 127 127 127 127 4th Field Time 128 128 128 128 128 127 127 127 127 127 5th Field 128 128 128 128 128 CLICK CLICK

False Colour Magenta Picture This phenomenon occur also some of neutral colour. CLICK Blue level is slight different magenta is moved Red pixels emission timing will not change but blue pixel emission timing will change. During blue blanking of the edge part only red pixel is emitted. This can be seen red line(noise) for human eyes. + + + CLICK CLICK < Still Picture > < Moving Picture >

42 Panasonic PDP PDP Welcome to Japan
3. After Image (Burning) Panasonic PDP PDP Welcome to Japan If still picture is displayed long time, CLICK this picture image leave on the screen. This is called after Image. After image level is depend on still picture display time and picture level. Most case, after image can eliminate by normal picture display (Moving picture or white pattern) However it is possible to have permanent burn depend on display time . If Colour phosphor receive Ultra Violet ray continuously emission efficiency will decrease. CLICK

43 Temporary burn Permanent burn
After Image (Burning) Reason Gas is activated (Easy to discharge) If high white levels signal is displayed emission level of this area’s pixels increased. Because gas is activated. Then activated gas generate more Ultra Violet lay than normal gas. Therefore activated gas area become brighter than normal gas area. CLICK Temporary burn Permanent burn CLICK CLICK

44 = + Matsushita Reason Plasma Display is Large Capacitor
4. High Power Consumption Reason Plasma Display is Large Capacitor Next One of the biggest problem of PDP is high power consumption of panel. Because panel is large capacitor and this big element is driven by high frequency sustain pulse. CLICK = + Matsushita CLICK
