Panel capacitance estimation method for three-electrode AC-PDP

A new approach for estimating AC-PDP parasitic capacitances is proposed. The method uses easily obtainable data such as resonant period of energy recovery and address power consumptions on specific test images for extracting the capacitances formed among three electrodes of scan (Y), sustain (X), and data electrodes. The proposed capacitance estimation method may assist in cell structure and system design.
