Abstract
Auxiliary address pulse driving scheme is proposed for controlling and improving the color temperature of the 42‐inch WVGA ac‐plasma display panel (ac‐PDP) without sacrificing total luminance. Under a white‐background, the color temperature of 42‐inch ac‐PDP is improved by about 1,700 K, whereas under a black‐background, the color temperature of 42‐inch ac‐PDP is improved by about 3,200 K. In addition, by properly controlling the luminance in the R, G, and B cells, the color temperature of 42‐inch ac‐PDP can be raised from 5,827K to 10,705K.
