largest gap between its initial state and a steady state. For the<br />

4% and 30% color patches, the luminance decreases significantly<br />

at the beginning. Although the time to reach a steady<br />

state is similar <strong>for</strong> all four pattern sizes (around 40 min), the<br />

decrease in luminance is dependent on pattern size. A decrease<br />

in pattern size leads to an increase the number <strong>of</strong><br />

RGB sustain pulses accompanied by an increase in temperature<br />

<strong>of</strong> the RGB cells. If a small color patch is displayed on<br />

a PDP, the initial temperature is higher than that <strong>for</strong> a larger<br />

sized patch; however this is mitigated by a greater rate <strong>of</strong><br />

temperature change. As a result, the time to reach a steady<br />

state is not dependent on pattern size. Conversely, the decrease<br />

in luminance ratio is inversely proportional to pattern<br />

size due to the shorter time needed to reach a stable RGB<br />

cell temperature.<br />

Spatial Independence<br />

The two color patches shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b) have<br />

the same center square color and different backgrounds.<br />

Spatial independence defines by how much the central white<br />

color is affected by changes in background color. 11 The central<br />

white colors <strong>of</strong> Figs. 8(a) and 8(b) have quite different<br />

CIE XYZ values (445, 444, 550) and (160, 166, 186), respectively,<br />

because the colorimetric characteristics <strong>of</strong> a PDP are<br />

dictated by the number <strong>of</strong> RGB sustain pulses as determined<br />

by the APC rather directly from the RGB input values. For<br />

example, in order to produce the same light output <strong>for</strong> the<br />

white in Figs. 8(a) and 8(b), there is a need to have different<br />

numbers <strong>of</strong> sustain pulses.<br />

Color Gamut<br />

The definition <strong>of</strong> color gamut is the range <strong>of</strong> colors that is<br />

achievable on a given color reproduction medium under a<br />

specified set <strong>of</strong> viewing conditions. Figure 9 shows the color<br />

gamut under dark viewing conditions defined by the primary<br />

and secondary colors <strong>of</strong> a PDP. The ranges <strong>of</strong><br />

tristimulus values displayed differ according to pattern size<br />

(as explained in Pattern size effect section). The color gamuts<br />

<strong>of</strong> four pattern sizes are plotted in a CIELAB a * b * diagram<br />

[Fig. 9(a)]. In addition, color gamuts <strong>of</strong> four pattern<br />

sizes at a hue angle <strong>of</strong> 137° are compared using a CIELAB<br />

C * L * diagram [Fig. 9(b)]. The CIE L * a * b * color coordinates<br />

were calculated based on the peak white at 4% pattern size<br />

representing an L * <strong>of</strong> 100 848.4 cd/m 2 . There<strong>for</strong>e, the<br />

C * L * coordinates <strong>of</strong> the white color patches <strong>for</strong> 30, 60, and<br />

100% pattern sizes show lower values than those at the 4%<br />

pattern size. As pattern size decreases, the range <strong>of</strong> colors<br />

achievable on a PDP becomes larger.<br />
