Charged and meta-stable particles behavior of scan-address and scan-sustain discharge were investigated by using actual AC-PDP driving pulses. The wall charge accumulation time of scan-address discharge was almost same with that of scan-sustain discharge. The meta-stable decay time of scan-address discharge was about 30-50μsec, while that of scan-sustain discharge was 20-40μsec. The relative time sclae of space charge decay in the scan-address discharges shows the different behaviors compared to those of the scan-sustain discharges. Also, the discharge characteristics of AC plasma display were investigated as a function of the voltage and the frequency of the auxiliary pulses applied to the address electrode during sustain period. The maximum sustain voltage of display cell decreased with increasing of the frequency of the auxiliary pulses applied to the address electrode during sustain period. Applying the auxiliary pulses to the address electrode resulted in improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency simultanously.
