********Plasma: This is one of the four states of matter (The other three are solid, liquid and gas). Plasma
consists of a gas of positively charged and negatively charged particles with approximately equalconcentrations of both so that the total gas is approximately charged neutral. A plasma can be produced froma gas if enough energy is added to cause the electrically neutral atoms of the gas to split into positively and
negatively charged atoms and electrons.
One pixel; imagine a cube with phosphorus coating at the bottom and filled with Xenon gas. When we apply avoltage on the two electrodes (shown as 1) the gas ionizes. When the gas ionizes as in area 3, UV radiation
occurs. This action is similar to a CRT. If this radiation is forced to hit the phosphor (4), light emits. This is thebasic principle of one plasma cell. One red, one green, and one blue cell together forms one pixel or Plasmacell. The diagram shown illustrates light emission for a single color. Besides the green, the red and blue are
shown and they function likewise.Sequence of events:
When a voltage is applied, between the Scan and Sustain electrodes (identify) (electrode marked 1),
movement of electrons occurs (identify as area marked 3).
This causes multiplication of electrons by gas ionization: This state of gas is known as Plasma. This excitationproduces UV radiation. At this point, if we apply a voltage to the phosphor (Address electrode marked 5), it
attracts electrons causing Phosphor Excitation and therefore, Visible Light emission.
The electrodes we apply excitation voltage to are known as scan and sustain electrodes (1). To simplify, avoltage is applied to the scan and sustain electrodes (1). Then xenon gas excitation occurs. Once the
electrons are multiplied due to ionization, emission occurs. Now a voltage (5) is applied to the phosphor forattracting the electron and producing the light. This is how the light output occurs in a Plasma environment.
The brightness of the pixel is a function of timing the potentials on the scan, sustain and address electrodes.
Now that we have seen, how one cell emits light, let us see how we made a video display panel with this.

A plasma display unit is a panel that consists of many tiny cells filled with a neon xenon.
Gas as explained in the previous slide. Let us see how they are arranged to get a panel.
Same color cells are arranged in vertical row. When we look from the front, we can see stripes.
The ionization voltage is applied through the scan and sustain electrodes positioned horizontally overeach row of cells.
We already discussed that when voltage is applied between two electrodes inside a cell, ultravioletradiation occurs and now voltage corresponding to incoming video is applied to the corresponding
address line which is located perpendicular to the scan and sustain electrodes. This is calledmatrixing. This applied address voltage excites the phosphors lining in the cells and light is
produced.
Let us look how a voltage is applied to these cells.

Page 9 notes.
This is yet another way of illustrating the arrangement. Vertical cells are shown as the vertical phosphor bars.
Horizontal electrodes are transparent electrodes and are across the screen under the front glass. They arevirtually transparent and do not affect light output.
When the scan and sustain voltage is applied, ionization occurs inside each cell, the address electrode isenergized to excite the phosphor. We all know about phosphor characteristics. Light output from phosphor
depends on two things, that is, the amount of electrons and the time of excitation.Depending on how long the phosphor is excited, the brightness changes.
Since we have a matrix of horizontal and vertical electrodes, each cell can be controlled independently.
How did this display become so attractive for video industry?One reason is the ability to produce large enough displays. Now they are up to 50 displays and larger are
possible.Another is the characteristic is the low atmosphere gas filled chamber.
There is no warm-up time.
There are no convergence or registration issues.High light output, good color saturation and high contrast ratio are other advantages.

Plasma Basics: Overall
Pixels: Formed by two sheets of glass with
ribs
Electrodes: Three electrodes, one at the rear
and a pair at the front
Turn ON: Approximately 200 V appliedbetween address and Y (scan) electrodes
causes gas ionization and light emission
Sustain: Approximately 50 V is applied
between the Y (scan) and X (sustain)
electrode to hold the light emission
Turn OFF: Remove the sustain voltage and
reverse the address voltage.

Here is one more representation of the design of the plasma panel. It is a more practical and realistic view.
The plasma panel is composed of two sheets of glass with the bottom glass having series of ribs filled withcolor phosphors in a particular order.
The top glass with embedded electrodes seals upon that and helps form a pixel.
Inside the sealed pixel, is a mixture of rare gases- typically argon and neon, although sometimes xenon hasbeen used. Actually with this construction, a small electric capacitor has been created, with one electrode on
the rear (Address) and a pair on the front (Sustain and Scan). These 3 electrodes control the capacitorcharge, sustain and discharge functions intrinsic to the plasma imaging process.
The plasma imaging cycle can be broken into following steps. initially, the pixel is at its resting (Off ) state.while a voltage is applied to the addressing electrodes ( pixel ). When the applied voltage reaches a certain
level- say 200+ volts - the resistance in the pixel is overcome, and an electrical discharge is made across theelectrodes. Once this discharge occurs, the mixture of rare gases is ionized into a plasma state, which meansthe gas mixture can now conduct electricity, an intense burst of ultraviolet ( UV ) light is emitted. This burst of
UV energy stimulates the color phosphors, in turn makes them glow brightly. Once the pixel is switched On(Scan and Sustain), a much lower voltage sustains the UV emissions and keeps the phosphors glowing. This
sustain voltage is typically in the 50 volts range. Eventually, the pixel will need to be turned off to rest thephosphors. This is done by removing the sustain voltage first, then reversing the charge in the pixel through
the addressing electrodes to achieve precise and complete turn-off. At this point, the pixel is back to its restingstate.

Here we can see how each individual image is built.
Each image corresponds to 1 TV field and within thattime period there are 8 sub-fields of different duration in
order to obtain the correct brightness for each pixel.This works out to 479.52 address and 479.52 sustainsevery second with 200 volts being applied during the
address time period of the sub-field between the scanand address electrodes and 50 volts being applied
during the sustain time period of the sub field betweenthe sustain and scan electrodes. Keep in mind thatevery pixel needs to be addressed during each sub-
field.

In this slide we can see that we have a XVGA or WXGA screen resolution panel. Lets say forexample that we want to light up only two pixels represented by the yellow circles.
Putting it simply, first the two pixels would be lit by the Address part of the 8 section TV Fieldprocess, this is represented by the orange arrows from the Y (Scan) Electrode and the red arrows
from the Address Electrodes (this will make the pixel glow).
In the Sustain part of the 8 section TV Field process the pixels that are now glowing are keptglowing by the Scan Electrode ( orange arrows) applying signal while the total panel X (Sustain)Main signal (white arrows) is sent out. During the Sustain period the entire panels X Electrode is
energized while only the applicable Y Electrodes are energized.
Remember that this entire process will happen about 8 times per tv field and about 480 times a
second.

Powering on the unit with the connectors identified heredisconnected can cause damage to the unit. While thisdamage may not occur immediately, it will after a shorttime. This caution should be observed at all times toavoid damage to the X-Main and Y-Main boards. The
damage can be caused by improper loading of thepanel and reverse voltages from the panel being
introduced to the boards.
It should be noted that if connectors providing power tothe X-main, Y-Main, and Address Buffer Boards are all
disconnected it is acceptable to apply power. Thisprocedure will be used later in the course to test the

Additionally, powering on the unit with the X-Main driveconnectors disconnected could cause damage to theVideo SMPS or the X-Main due to improper loading ofthe SMPS. When these connectors must be taken out,
remember that the flex cables themselves have locatingand squaring holes in them that hold them in place onthe X-Main board sockets. It is also possible to missthe hole, or insert incorrectly. If they are not inserted
correctly and secured, damage to the Video SMPS canoccur.
Shown in the green circle is the tuner/receiverdisassembly (refer to the service manual). The cautionhere is that you must be sure to disconnect the power
to the DVI (HDCP) module. NEVER remove the coverof the unit while it is plugged in. This will de-
authorize the DVI module and render it incapable of

In order to access the Y-main triggering points and the Logic Main PWBA, the JVC interface box mustbe removed. If this assembly is to be removed, remember that it is possible to return some of the
connectors to an incorrect location. To avoid problems, mark the connector bodies and their matchingconnectors with a swipe of a magic marker. That way, when you reassemble, you need only to match
up the marks. Besides the connectors, there is one ground wire that is attached to the Logic Mainboard. Remove this black wire by taking out the retaining screw, but always remember to re-
attach it on reassembly. Left un-attached, it may come in contact with voltages and damageother parts.
In the case of the PD-42WV74 and the PD-42WX84 the JVC boards are held in place by four smallscrews. Two of these screws also hold the top shield.
Remove the bracket as in step two. This bracket is held in place with small machine-type screws.These screws are fragile and if over-torqued, the heads will snap off and you will have to remove theremains and re-tap the hole. Do not over-tighten these screws when re-assembling.
Remove the connector from the audio board that leads to the units speakers at the bottom, and the twocables that go to the side speakers..
Carefully lift the JVC unit up and use the test point on the logic main for triggering the scope.

Once AC power has been applied, the wire attached to
Pin 7 of CN00Q can be attached to a metal chassisground point. When the power turns on, the jumperedSwitched 5 volts to Panel Power will turn on the panel.
At this step, whatever measurements and adjustmentsto the panel can be accomplished.
When all testing has been completed, and before re-attaching the JVC boards, remember to return the DIP
switches to: 1 and 3 OFF, 2 and 4 ON. The unit will notpass signal if left in the INTERNAL SYNC mode.

Here we can see that in the event that the techniciansuspects that the power supply is non operational thefirst step is to check for 120VAC at the 120VAC input
connector on the Main SMPS.If it is absent the fuse on the ac filter board should be
checked and replaced if necessary.
Once 120VAC has been established at the connectoron the Main SMPS board the fuses on the Main SMPSboard should be checked. Depending on the required
procedure the individually fuses may need to bereplaced and the operation of the Main SMPS checked.In most cases the Main SMPS will need to be replaced.
The Main SMPS should also be inspected for parts withphysically damaged parts and burn marks on the board
and heat sinks.

Once it has been established that the Main SMPS doesnot have any open fuses and is not causing any fuses
to open the technician will be able to check the
individual output voltages of the Main SMPS PWBA. Ifthey are all OK the technician can go to the No DisplayTrouble Shooting section. If the output voltages are notgood the cable assy that leads to X-main, Y-main, and
Address PWBAs can be disconnected to check if any ofthese PWBAs are loading the Main SMPS PWBA.
Note: These connectors must be all bedisconnected in the power off mode otherwise
damage may occur to the pdp, X-Main, or Y-MainPWBAs. If the voltages check good the tech can
proceed to the No Display Trouble Shooting section.
If the voltages do not check good the Main SMPS must
be replaced. Adjustment is mandatory in order to avoidPWBA damage and premature pdp failure.

Now that the it has been confirmed that the Main SMPS PWBA is operating properly the technician can
begin to trouble shoot the Y-Main (Scan) PWBA.
The first step is to check the fuses located on the Y-Main PWBA. If there are any open fuse pleasereplace the Y-Main PWBA.
If the fuses are good, the FETS should be checked. There are numerous FETs on each Y-Main PWBAall of which can be located by the labels printed on the boards themselves. None should show a short
when checked with a DVM. If any show a short the entire board should be replaced.
It should be mentioned that there are also many diodes on each Y-Main board which look very muchlike the FETs. These are also labeled on the circuit board and will show a short when checked.
A defection Y-Main may have random irregular spots through out the picture.

Y-Main output is a complex wave form used to drive the PDP cells.
The signal flow in the block diagram is from right to left.
DC voltages are switched on and off at different timings to generate this wave form.
Each FET is switched to add certain voltages. For example YS FET switches and raises the waveform to YS.(Refer to the waveform).
The final output with different voltage levels at periodic times are then output to the plasma cells for turningthem on and off according to the inputted video.
An example trouble shooting tip: When measuring the wave form, if you find the highest spike (Vset) is absent.This means that either Vset voltage is missing or Vset switching is not occurring. If the power supply outputs
Vset to the Y-main, replace the Y-main.
The waveforms in the handout are taken by a digital scope. Obviously, the waveform will vary widely whenusing an analog scope. With careful interpretation of a good units waveform, you should be able to determine
if another is good or bad.
Note: The level equipment used to obtain this waveform may not be available in every shop.
Note: This procedure can be used as a quick check to verify that the Y-Main is operating properly if it has beendetermined that the Main SMPS supply voltages are all good.

Once it has been determined that the Main SMPS, X-Main, and Y-Main are operating properly the techniciancan usually diagnose the problem by just looking at thepicture on the plasma set. With the exception of a no
picture problem the panel will usually have a horizontal
or vertical line or block in the picture at this point.
This leaves the diagnoses in many cases to swappingout a few pwbas to determine if it is a problem with an
individual board or with the panel itself.
Since the Logic Main PWBA communicates to theAddress Buffers via a 8bit bus a failure of the LogicMain or an associated FFC would cause multiple
vertical lines through that section of the pdp or a loss ofpicture all together in that section of the pdp. This
should hold true for any Y-Main communication also.

This is a step that could be accomplished at nearly anytime in the trouble shooting process. From the
flowchart we can see that if the led on the Logic Main PWBA is blinking at regular interval the boardmain is good. If the led does not blink or blinks abnormally then the board is defective.
Of course since this circuit board produces all the data that is used to create the picture on the screenthe all of the FFCs should be checked to verify that they are connected and not broken. This board
should also be considered a board to swap in order to verify that a problem does not exist in the
original since this board can produce problems that may appear like defects in other pwbas or thepanel itself.
Since the Logic Main PWBA communicates to the Address Buffers via a 8bit bus a failure of the LogicMain or an associated FFC would cause multiple vertical lines through that section of the pdp or a loss

In this picture we can see that there is a thin horizontal line missing in the picture.
The things we do know immediately with out even opening the cabinet is that the Main SMPS, X-Main, Y-Main, and anything that could possible generate a part of the picture that is vertical in nature
(Address Buffers) is good.
The first step would be to replace the Y Buffer that would drive this part of the screen to determine if
that is the defective part. If that was not the problem then the pdp would be replaced.
The Y-Buffers Y Electrode connection may be temporarily disconnected to check if thatparticular buffer is causing a problem.
1. With the AC disconnected remove the suspect connection.2. Power the unit on and check the picture for any change.
3. The unit should not be left on for no more than 5 seconds in this state. Damage may occur

With a problem that is vertical in nature the tech mustdetermine if the line is considered 1 line, 1 block, or half
the screen. In most cases an Address Buffer will bechanged first to verify that the Address Buffer is not the
problem, otherwise the pdp will need to be changed.
Since the Logic Main PWBA communicates to theAddress Buffers via a 8bit bus a failure of the Logic
Main or an associated FFC would cause multiplevertical lines through that section of the pdp or a loss of
picture all together in that section of the pdp.

There is also a method that is needed to turn the power supply on since the Logic Main PWBA is notconnected. According to Fig 2 a 3.3 to 5VDC source needs to be connected in series with a 1k ohm
resistor between pins 12 and 9 in order to turn the supply on. The dc source can be accomplished byusing three 1.5V cells in series (it is a low current circuit).

As an example, item number 1, the SMPS board, replacement from older to newer versionsonly is allowed. Item number 2 has full interchangeability from old to new and visa versa. For
the items marked NG, there is no interchangeability.
These boards available on individual order are CORE units. If a board is replaced, the newboard will come with return instructions and paperwork, and a return label. Return the defective
unit promptly. This will avoid problems with your parts account and credit status. The sameapplies is you have the need to replace the plasma display panel.
This will also apply to the GM-V42UG.
