The results showed, that the concept advances the electric propulsion (EP) capabilities by relying on plasma confinement with the means of PPM structures used in TWTs to focus electron beams through delay lines and multistage depressed collectors (MDC). The performance improvements obtained recently are summarised. The total efficiency shown is the product of electrical and the ionisation efficiency. The ionisation efficiency approaches values close to 1 for higher Xe flows. For DM6 MS1 version, this is the case at Xe flows above 10 sccm, resulting at 14 sccm in a total efficiency of about 50%.","PeriodicalId":203178,"journal":{"name":"4th IEEE International Conference on Vacuum Electronics, 2003","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116032607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If we know the quantities of the wall voltage in each period of every sequence; reset period, address period and sustain period, then it helps us to design the optimal driving waveform for high efficiency plasma display. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigate the exact wall voltage profiles at each period of every sequence and then provide the basic data to driving sequence designer. We develop a new method to measure the wall voltage with VDS (versatile driving simulator) system. The wall voltage has been experimentally measured at the reset period by this new method. The reset period in driving sequence of plasma display plays an important role in improvement of the display quality. All unit cells in panel is initialized and is settled to have same amount of wall charge in reset period of driving sequence, and stable initialization of wall charge state for all cells can improve the accuracy of writing discharge in address period. It is very important to know the wall voltage quantity and wall charge state for design of the optimal reset driving waveform, which enables perfect initialization.","PeriodicalId":203178,"journal":{"name":"4th IEEE International Conference on Vacuum Electronics, 2003","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116759135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
