Cc. Liu et al., An energy-recovery sustaining driver with discharge current compensation for AC plasma display panel, IEEE IND E, 48(2), 2001, pp. 344-351
A novel driver with discharge current compensation is proposed to drive an
ac plasma display panel (PDP), This proposed circuit uses resonance between
the inductor and the ac PDP to avoid abrupt charging/discharging. The four
su-itches of the full bridge are all operated with zero-voltage-switching
turn-on. In addition, an 8-in ac PDP equipped with the proposed during circ
uit, operating at 100 kHz, is investigated. With the discharge current comp
ensation, the experimental results show that the proposed driver can mainta
in the ac PDP to light at lower voltage (129 V).
