49.4: A New Driving Technology for PDPs with Cost Effective Sustain Circuit

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.

24.3: Distinguished Contributed Paper: Line Drive Technology: An Advanced TERES with the Integration of High-Voltage Sustain and Scan Circuits into Ics

In our previous paper, we proposed TERES technology, which halves sustain voltage and power loss without reducing applied voltages to PDP cells. In this paper, we report Line Drive technology, an advanced TERES, which integrates the high voltage sustain and scan circuit into ICs.
