— In this paper we explain how macro‐cells (real PDP cells scaled‐up a hundred times) with external and removable electrodes have been validated by comparison with real panels and modeling and used to optimize the luminous efficacy of real PDPs. We illustrate the application of the macroscopic PDP tool to optimize the electrode configuration of short‐gap discharges towards higher luminous efficacy, as well as its use in conjunction with 2D and 3D modeling to lower the operating voltages of high‐efficacy long‐gap discharges triggered by auxiliary electrodes.
