New metacode coding concept for improving PDP gray‐scale quality

Abstract— Today, methods for power management of plasma display panels (PDP) have been developed in order to provide a maximum peak white for a given picture content with stable power consumption. However, the quality of the gray‐scale portrayal with such concepts is far from the actual CRT standards. We have developed a new PDP encoding concept called Metacode to improve gray‐scale quality during all power and contrast adjustment towards CRT level.
