Abstract The effects of a short time (within 5 minutes) image sticking on the subsequent dark or bright background images are investigated in the 42‐inch PDP‐TV. In the dark background image displayed by only the reset waveform, the luminance from the cells with an image sticking is observed to be higher than the luminance from the cells with no image sticking. On the other hand, in the bright background image displayed by the sustain waveforms including the reset and address waveforms, the luminance from the cells with an image sticking is observed to be lower than the luminance from the cells with no image sticking. It is concluded that the dark image degradation is caused by the activated MgO surface of the cells with an image sticking, whereas the bright image degradation is caused by the deterioration of the phosphor layers.
