Example-computer simulations
Discharge can’t be turned on instantaneously - this causes oscillations
If deviations are large, and the ramp-rate is high, it is unstable

Another example
Same initial conditions, but 7.5 higher ramp rate resulted in 300 time larger peak current

1D analysis
Small deviations from DC parameters can be analyzed analytically
Equations for ln(j/jDC), and E-Ebr or V-Vb are similar to equations for 1D motion of a particle in the potential U=U(j).
dx/dt=p/m*, dp/dt=- dU/dx
ln(j/jDC) - serves as coordinate x
E-Ebr - serves as particle ‘s momentum p

Metastables
Metastables limit the minimum current
With every pulse, the number of metastables increases until equilibrium is reached

Ramp Strategy
Start with Vramp=Vb
Ramp up to more than Vsust+Vb+δVrelax
Change voltage by -2Vb , and ramp down to -Vb
Raise voltage by V

Summary
Weber’s setup provides very precise conditions in every cell prior to addressing, independently on their parameters
The stability depends very much on the initial priming conditions
Our analysis enables one to optimize the ramp strategy and parameters to obtain the stable setup with low light output
The positive resistance discharge (ramp) is being used in the Panasonic 37”-42” products and Plasmaco’s 60” diagonal prototype color AC-PDPs.
