Single-Side Sustaining Technique for Plasma Display Panel Using Dual-Resonant Method

A new plasma display panel single-side sustaining driver with dual-resonant technique is proposed. Since this circuit enables one to keep the device voltage stresses the same as those of conventional circuit that generates alternating sustaining pulses, it is helpful to reduce driver cost in single-side sustaining driver that suffers from high-voltage stresses. To integrate the sustaining function into single side with a single power source in the driver, the charge-pump method is adopted to make negative sustaining voltage and achieve dual-resonant energy recovery on sustaining mode by controlling the voltage level of energy storage capacitor. Moreover, a method to solve the address voltage increase that is the defect of single-side driving is suggested.
