● Merits & Demerits of PDP

< Merits > < Demerits >

- Thin Type TV - High Power Consumption
- Large Scale : 80” possible - Low Brightness
- Light Weight (42” Scale) - High Cost
: PDP 30kg / CRT: over 100kg - Low Lighting Efficiency
: LCD 40” 32Kg - Image Retention
- Wide Angleview - Operation Temperature
- High Definition - Acoustic Noise of Driving
: cell pitch 0.1mm
- Not-Sensitive to Magnetic Field
- Full-color
- Good Non linerity
: No need for TFT like LCD

Characteristics
 3. PDP Driving Characteristics
● Function Description by board - 1
■.SMPS(Switching Mode Power Supply)
: It is the supplier to provide voltage and current to work the drive voltage and panel in each board.

■.X-MAIN BOARD
: It makes the drive wave form by switching FETs to Timing Controlle coming from logic-board and
supplies X electrode of panel with the drive wave form via connector.

■.Y-MAIN BOARD
: It makes the drive wave form by switching FETs to Timing Controller coming from the logic-board
and provides Y electrode of panel with the drive wave form via Scan Driver IC on Y buffer board
in order.

■.LOGIC MAIN BOARD

: It process image signal and performs buffering of the logic-main board (to create XY drive signal
and output) and the address driver output signal.
Then it supplies the output signal to the address driver IC(COF Module).
● Function Description by board - 2

■.LOGIC BUFFER(E,F,G) : It delivers the data signal and control signal to the COF.

■.Y-BUFFER (Upper,Lower)
: It is the board to impress the scan waveform on the Y board and consist of 2 boards
(upper board and lower board).
8 Y-buffers are fixed at the scan driver (STV7617 of STC corp. : 64 or 65 Output).

■.AC Noise Filter

: It has functions to remove noise(low frequency) coming from AC LINE and prevent surge.
It gives serious effects on the safety regulations (EMC, EMI) according to AC filter.

■.COF (Chip on Flexible)

: It impress the Va pulse to the address electrode in the address section and forms the
address discharge by electric potential difference with scanning pulse to be dismissed
by the Y electrode. It is made in the form of COF and one COF consists of 4 Data Drive IC
(STV7610A :96 Output), otherwise single scan is made of 7 COF.

3. PC mode :1024X768@60Hz

• You must perform Calibration in the Lattice pattern before adjusting the White Balance
• If you perform Calibration in a pattern other than the Lattice pattern, it causes a
malfunction and the operation will not finish
• If you perform Calibration press the in remote control
