Abstract

The effect of the voltage pulsing is simulated in AC plasma display panel using various two-dimensional simulation codes. The volume-averaged density increases rapidly because of the large electric field in the AC-plasma display panel cell as the peak voltage is raised. The ignition time and the decaying time of the discharge are related to the external voltage. The space and time variations of the charged particle densities and the potential profile are described for various voltage forms. The ion energy distribution near the cathode-side dielectric which plays an important role in the MgO lifetime and the secondary electron emission coefficient is concentrated to much lower energies than the applied voltage
