A PDP not posing the problem that previous display data appears at the time of activation, and a wave generating circuit capable of generating a complex wave without the necessity of expanding a quantity of ROM data and of increasing a reading speed have been disclosed. A plasma display panel display comprising a plasma display panel that includes a plurality of cells to be selectively discharged to glow, a reset unit for bringing the plurality of cells to a given state, an addressing unit for setting the plurality of cells to states associated with display data, and a sustaining discharge unit for enabling the plurality of cells to glow according to the set states further comprises an operation halt factor detector for detecting the fact that a factor of halting the operation of the plasma display panel has occurred, and an initialization unit that when it is detected that the operation halt factor has occurred, initializes memory information in the plasma display panel. In a wave generating circuit for generating a wave on the basis of ROM data that is stored in a ROM and concerned with a wave and its generation, the ROM data is stored while being split into basic period data that changes at intervals of a basic period and long period data that changes at intervals of a long period data. The basic period data and long period data are read at intervals of associated periods and converted at intervals of associated periods.

A wave generation circuit is disclosed, in which a complex waveform can be generated without increasing the ROM data amount or increasing the reading rate. Waveform data relating to a waveform and the generation thereof are stored in a ROM for each cycle. An address signal for reading the waveform data sequentially is produced sequentially by an address generation circuit. The waveform data read out are sequentially reproduced into a waveform signal by a waveform data output circuit. In a wave generating circuit including the ROM and the address generation circuit, the waveform data includes the extension information instructing to extend and reproduce the waveform data for a particular cycle. An extension and control circuit included in the wave generation circuit decides on the presence or absence of the extension information from the read waveform data, and in the presence of the extension information, controls the waveform data output circuit to maintain the output of a corresponding waveform signal while at the same time controlling the address generation circuit to retard the generation of the address signal. The wave generation circuit can generate a single waveform data in an extended form according to the extension information when the same data continues for a plurality of cycles, thereby reducing the waveform data amount and the ROM capacity.

In a plasma display apparatus with power consumption control, a control method is provided that eliminates unnaturalness of images during power control and that holds power consumption to within a target value regardless of the type of image pattern displayed. Differences between power consumption PSA and target value PSET are summed to calculate power consumption sum value PSUM, and if PSUM is negative, brightness set value MCBC is set to its maximum value MCBCMAX. If PSUM is positive, the value calculated by the equation “MCBCMAX−PSUM×MCBCMAX/PSUM,MAX” is set as the MCBC.

An image processing device has an error distribution unit, and a multiplier. The error distribution unit carries out an error distribution operation to artificially increase the number of shades to be displayed on a display. The multiplier multiplies an input signal by a multiplication coefficient, so that the input signal is separated into display data and error data along a bit boundary and the error distribution operation is carried out on the input signal. Further, a semiconductor integrated circuit has a dither pattern generator, an adder, and an error distribution unit. The dither pattern generator stores a plurality of dither patterns in advance and receives an input image signal, the adder receives the input image signal and a pattern signal from the dither pattern generator, and the error distribution unit carries out an error distribution operation on the output of the adder. Therefore, the image processing device can realize a smooth display characteristic for the entire range of input shades.

A panel display has a display panel including a plurality of cells to be selectively discharged to an address driver for setting the plurality of cells to states represented by display data. The panel display also has a display glowing driver for enabling the plurality of cells to glow according to the set states. One frame during which one screen is displayed has a plurality of sub-frames and glowing periods within the sub-frames, during which the display cells are enabled to glow by the display glowing driver. The said sub-frames are weighted in order to achieve gray-scale display. The display panel also has a display load calculating circuit for calculating a display load to be imposed on a whole display surface during each sub-frame. In addition, a corrected period calculating circuit calculates a corrected period of a glowing period, during which the display cells are enabled to glow by the display glowing driver according to display loads to be imposed during each sub-frame. This is calculated by the display load calculating circuit so that brightness attained by the display cells during respective sub-frames will be maintained at a given ratio.
