摘要:
Disclosed are a driving device and a driving method for a plasma display panel (PDP). A panel capacitor is formed by a scan electrode and a sustain electrode. The charges are moved from the panel capacitor to a capacitor by turning on a transistor which is connected between the scan electrode and the capacitor. By this method, the voltage of the panel capacitor is steeply reduced so that a discharge is generated in the panel capacitor. When the voltage of the capacitor increases because of the charges moved from the panel capacitor, the gate-source voltage of the transistor is reduced. As a result, the transistor is turned off so that the scan electrode is floated. Accordingly, the discharge is steeply quenched so that the wall charges are precisely controlled. After the capacitor is discharged, the above-noted operation may be repeated.

A method for driving a display panel to produce an efficient sustain discharge is provided. In one embodiment, the display panel includes a plurality of scanning electrodes that are driven by a sustain discharge signal. A corresponding plurality of common electrode groups is driven individually by different sustain discharge signals. Sustain discharge is performed by alternately applying high level sustain pulses to each the plurality of scanning electrodes and each the plurality of common electrode groups. Sustain pulses with a high level are applied sequentially to each the plurality of common electrode groups in time intervals between the sustain pulses with the high level applied to the plurality of scanning electrodes. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a duty rate of a sustain discharge signal near 50% while reducing a peak value of currents generated upon sustain discharge driving, thereby achieving stable sustain discharge.

In a plasma display panel driving method, a final voltage of a falling ramp voltage is reduced to a voltage for firing a discharge at all the discharge cells in a reset period. A difference between a voltage at an address electrode of a discharge cell to be selected and a voltage applied to a scan electrode is established to be greater than a maximum discharge firing voltage in an address period. A voltage greater than a sustain voltage is applied to the scan electrode so as to convert positive wall charges which can be formed on the scan electrode of a discharge cell which is not selected in the address period into negative wall charges.

A method for driving a panel includes classifying cells on the panel into a plurality of cell groups and performing an addressing and a sustain discharge on cells included in each of the cell groups using address electrodes, scan electrodes, and common electrodes on the panel; dividing a frame period into a plurality of subfields, allocating different gray scales to the plurality of subfields, respectively, and selectively driving the subfields to represent gradation of visible brightness of the cells on the panel; and sequentially performing an address period and a sustain period on the cell groups in at least one subfield. After the address period is performed on cells included in a cell group, the sustain period is performed on the cells included in the cell group. After the sustain period is completed on one cell group, the address period is performed on another cell group. While the sustain period is performed on one cell group, the sustain period may be selectively performed on other cell groups on which the address period has been performed. Bias voltages applied to the common electrodes while the address period is sequentially performed on the cell groups are different among the cell groups.

A PDP driving method. No rising ramp voltage is applied to a scan electrode during a reset period. The final voltage of a falling ramp voltage is reduced to a voltage by which all the discharge cells can fire the discharge during the reset period. A difference between the voltage applied to the address electrode of the discharge cell to be selected and the voltage applied to the scan electrode is established to be greater than the maximum discharge firing voltage.
摘要:
A panel capacitor is formed by a scan electrode and a sustain electrode. The voltage at the panel capacitor is reduced by turning on a transistor coupled between the scan electrode and the capacitor. As a result, the voltage within the panel capacitor exceeds the discharge firing voltage to discharge the panel capacitor. When the gate voltage of the transistor is reduced by an RC circuit, the transistor is turned off, and the scan electrode is floated. A discharge is then steeply quenched, and wall charges are finely controlled. Next, the above-noted operation is repeated by turning on the transistor.

A plasma display panel (PDP) and driving method that includes a floating reset process. A number of subfields are generated from input video signals, and subfield data for each subfield are output. A first voltage is applied to the first electrode according to sustain information to cause a discharge in a first discharge space, and the first electrode is floated during a period which corresponds to subfield data of a previous subfield. During this process, the floating time is controlled according to the number of addressed cells called for in previous subfield data.

Disclosed is a reset waveform of a plasma display panel. A rising or falling voltage is applied rapidly enough to cause an intense discharge in a reset period. The electrodes are then floated to reduce the voltage applied into a discharge space during the discharge to cause a self-quenching of the discharge, thereby precisely controlling wall charges.
