摘要:
The present invention provides a method of driving a plasma display apparatus, which allows a high-luminance large-sized panel to have stable address discharge, with increase in power consumption suppressed. In the method, one field is divided into a plurality of subfields, each of which having an address period and a sustain period. A ramp voltage is applied to the scan electrodes in the end of the sustain period. The ramp voltage increases from a base potential toward a predetermined voltage, after reaching the predetermined voltage, the ramp voltage is maintained at the voltage for a predetermined period of time and decreases to the base potential. Besides, when the number of the sustain pulses is not greater than a predetermined threshold in a subfield, the predetermined period of time of an immediately after subfield is determined to be longer than the predetermined period of time of other subfields.

The plasma display apparatus suppresses addressing failure, enhancing stability of address discharge, and therefore, enhancing quality of display image on the panel. The present invention attains above through the followings: preparing display combination sets each of which having difference in number of combinations; determining whether or not magnitude of image signals, except for a predetermined color image signal, is greater than a threshold; and according to the determination above, selecting a set for the predetermined color image signal from the display combination sets. A display combination set used for the predetermined color image signal when the image signals except for the predetermined color image signal have magnitude not less than the threshold is smaller in number of combinations than that used for the predetermined color image signal when the image signals except for the predetermined color image signal have magnitude smaller than the threshold.

In the plasma display apparatus, address discharge is caused stably. For this purpose, one of a forced initializing operation and a selective initializing operation is performed in the initializing period. Then, one field includes a specific-cell initializing subfield having an initializing period in which a forced initializing operation is performed in a specific discharge cell and a selective initializing operation is performed in the other discharge cells. In the address period of the specific-cell initializing subfield, the period in which a scan pulse and an address pulse are simultaneously applied to a discharge cell having undergone the selective initializing operation in the initializing period of the specific-cell initializing subfield is made longer than the period in which a scan pulse and an address pulse are simultaneously applied to a discharge cell having undergone the forced initializing operation in the initializing period of the specific-cell initializing subfield.

A stable address discharge is caused by preventing an increase in the scan pulse voltage (amplitude) necessary for causing a stable address discharge, and thereby achieves high image display quality. For this purpose, the following operations are performed. The image display area of a plasma display panel is divided into a plurality of regions. In each region, the rate of the number of discharge cells to be lit with respect to the number of all discharge cells in each region is detected, as a partial light-emitting rate of each region, and the partial light-emitting rate is detected in each subfield. The region having the maximum partial light-emitting rate is detected and set as a first region. The regions adjacent to the first region are set as second regions, and a predetermined offset value is added to the partial light-emitting rates of the second regions so as to provide corrected partial light-emitting rates. Magnitude comparison is performed between the partial light-emitting rates and corrected partial light-emitting rates, and the order of address operations on the respective regions is determined based on the result of the magnitude comparison.

In a plasma display apparatus, contrast is enhanced and a stable address discharge is caused. For this purpose, one of a forced initializing operation and a selective initializing operation is performed in initializing periods. A specified-cell initializing subfield and a selective initializing subfield are set in one field. In the specified-cell initializing subfield, the forced initializing operation is performed on specified discharge cells and the selective initializing operation is performed on the other discharge cells. In the selective initializing subfield, the selective initializing operation is performed on all the discharge cells. In the selective initializing period, a down-ramp waveform voltage is applied to the scan electrodes and a positive voltage is applied to the data electrodes. In the selective initializing subfield, based on the load calculated in the address period of the immediately preceding subfield, the minimum voltage of the down-ramp waveform voltage is controlled.

Stable address discharge is caused even in a plasma display panel where the definition is enhanced and the screen is enlarged. For this purpose, in a driving method of a plasma display panel, the image display region of the panel is divided into a plurality of partial display regions each of which includes a plurality of consecutively arranged scan electrodes. In each partial display region, a sequential address operation of sequentially applying scan pulses to the scan electrodes based on the arranging sequence of the scan electrodes on the panel is performed in the address period. To the scan electrode to which a scan pulse is to be firstly applied in the address period, a scan pulse of which the pulse width is set longer than that of the scan pulse to be applied to the other scan electrodes is applied.
摘要:
A stable address discharge is caused by preventing an increase in the necessary scan pulse voltage (amplitude), and thereby achieves high image display quality. For this purpose, the image display area of a plasma display panel is divided into a plurality of regions, and a partial light-emitting rate is detected in each region. The partial light-emitting rate in a current subfield is set as a first partial light-emitting rate. The partial light-emitting rate used for magnitude comparison between the partial light-emitting rates in a subfield identical with the current subfield in a field immediately preceding the field to which the current subfield belongs to is set as a second partial light-emitting rate. The absolute value of the difference between the first partial light-emitting rate and the second partial light-emitting rate is calculated in each region. In the region where the value is equal to or larger than a light-emitting rate threshold value, the first partial light-emitting rate is used for the magnitude comparison between the partial light-emitting rates in the current subfield. In the region where the value is smaller than the light-emitting rate threshold value, the second partial light-emitting rate is used for the magnitude comparison between the partial light-emitting rates in the current subfield.

Stable address discharge is caused in a plasma display panel. For this purpose, the image display region of the panel is divided into a plurality of partial display regions, and scan electrodes in each partial display region are classified into two scan electrode groups based on the arranging sequence of the scan electrodes on the panel. The two scan electrode groups are a first scan electrode group including odd-numbered scan electrodes, and a second scan electrode group including even-numbered scan electrodes, In each partial display region in the address period, an overshoot address operation is performed. To the scan electrodes to which scan pulses are to be applied from the first time to a predetermined-number-th time in each scan electrode group, scan pulses are applied where the pulse cycle is set longer than that of the scan pulses to be applied to the other scan electrodes.

An image display region is divided into a plurality of partial display regions, the scan electrodes included in each partial display region are classified into two scan electrode groups: a scan electrode group formed of the odd-numbered scan electrodes; and a scan electrode group formed of the even-numbered scan electrodes. Scan pulses are sequentially applied to one scan electrode group, and then scan pulses are sequentially applied to the other scan electrode group. The pulse width of the scan pulses applied to the first through predetermined-number-th scan electrodes belonging to the one scan electrode group is set to be longer than the pulse width of the scan pulses applied to the remaining scan electrodes belonging to the one scan electrode group. The pulse width of the scan pulses applied to the first through predetermined-number-th scan electrodes belonging to the other scan electrode group is set to be longer than the pulse width of the scan pulses applied to the remaining scan electrodes belonging to the other scan electrode group.
