Abstract: In an energy recovery circuit of a PDP, after storing energy in the inductor, the panel
capacitor is charged by using a resonance between the inductor and the panel capacitor and the
stored energy. At that time, a voltage greater than a voltage V s /2 is stored in an energy recovery
capacitor. Then, the panel capacitor can be charged to V s  even when a parasitic component exists
in the energy recovery circuit. In addition, the energy remaining in the inductor can be used in a
discharge. Also, the charging time of the panel capacitor is shorter than the discharging time of
the panel capacitor to allow stable discharge.
