摘要:
A method and an apparatus for driving an image display device, such as, a plasma display panel, to represent a gradation. The pixels of a panel are classified into a plurality of groups, and one frame period is divided with time into n subfields. An address period and a sustain period are sequentially executed on each of the groups during at least two of the n subfields. While the pixels of one group are undergoing an address period during a subfield, the pixels of the other groups remain idle. While the pixels of one group are undergoing a sustain period, the pixels of groups that have already been addressed also undergo the sustain period. During one subfield, different gradation weights are allocated to the groups. A gradation of visual brightness for each pixel is determined by performing an address period for either all or some of the groups during at least two subfields. The panel driving method for representing gradation is adaptable.

In a PDP driving circuit, first and second inductors are coupled to a panel capacitor. The driving circuit stores a first energy in the first inductor through a current in the first direction while the voltage at the panel capacitor is maintained to be a first voltage, and uses the first energy and resonance between the panel capacitor and the first inductor to reduce the voltage at the panel capacitor to a second voltage. Next, the driving circuit maintains the voltage at the panel capacitor to be the second voltage, recovers the energy remaining in the first inductor, stores a second energy in a second inductor through a current in the second direction, and uses the energy stored in the second inductor to increase the voltage at the panel capacitor to the first voltage. Therefore, rising and falling time of the voltage at the panel capacitor is shortened, and zero-voltage switching is possible when the driving circuit has a parasitic component.

A method of driving a 3-electrode plasma display apparatus including a 3-electrode plasma display panel, a video processor, a controller, an address driver, an X-driver, a Y-driver, and a power recovery circuit is provided. In the 3-electrode plasma display panel, X-electrode lines and Y-electrode lines are alternately arranged in parallel on the rear surface of a front transparent substrate so as to form XY-electrode line pairs, and address electrode lines are arranged on the front surface of a rear transparent substrate to cross the XY-electrode line pairs. The intersections between the XY-electrode line pairs and the address electrode lines define display cells. The power recovery circuit is included in the address driver. The power recovery circuit collects charges unnecessarily remaining in the display cells at the end of application of the display data signals and applies the collected charges to the display cells at the start of application of the display data signals. The operation or non-operation of the power recovery circuit is controlled in accordance with the display data signals applied to the address electrode lines.

An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery comprises lithium salts, a non-aqueous organic solvent, and an additive compound of formula (1): where R1 to R10 are independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl. The additive compound decomposes earlier than organic solvent to form an SEI film, and prevents decomposition of the organic solvent.

A method for driving a plasma display panel. The plasma display panel includes a plurality of Y electrodes, a plurality of X electrodes, and a plurality of address electrodes. The Y electrodes are divided into a plurality of groups according to an order for scanning the Y electrodes and scan voltages are established to be varied for different groups when the scan voltages are sequentially applied to the Y electrodes. A period for gradually reducing a voltage at the Y electrodes and a bias voltage at the X electrodes is further included when the scan voltages are applied to the first Y electrode of each group of Y electrodes.

A material layer containing impurities that react with water molecules is formed on a substrate. The material layer is then heated under a pressure exceeding one atmosphere and in the presence of water vapor to generate pores in the material layer. The material layer may form the interlayer insulating layer of a semiconductor device.
