— It is shown that space charges dominate the build‐up of an address discharge when it is preceded by a priming discharge in less than 32 μsec. When the separation of these discharges (cease period) exceeds 32 μsec, the space charges diffuse away and the metastable particles start playing the role of priming. The priming effect of the metastable particles is not too strong, which is desirable for adopting a data‐pulse‐voltage reduction technique for PDPs. By choosing the length of the cease period to be between 32 and 80 μsec in the Address‐While‐Display drive scheme, the data pulse voltage was reduced to 20 V. This leads to a considerable cost reduction of data driver ICs.
