摘要:
According to an exemplary driving method of a plasma display panel of the present invention, waveforms having a reset function, an address function, and a sustain discharge function are applied to a scan electrode while sustain electrodes are biased at a ground voltage. A board for driving the sustain electrodes and a switch for supplying a ground voltage is eliminated and accordingly manufacturing cost of driving boards is reduced. Various circuits for generating the desirable waveforms and simplifications that do not compromise the effectiveness of the circuits are also presented.

A plasma display panel produces a visual image through selective firing in indicating cells, and all of the indicating cells are faintly fired in a priming discharge period before the selective firing; a positive pulse and a negative pulse are applied to scanning electrodes and sustain electrodes in such a manner as to be partially overlapped with each other, and the pulse amplitude of each pulse is relatively low so as to prevent data electrodes from undesirable discharge, thereby making the luminance in the priming discharge period small.

The avalanche photodiode formed with this structure has low-noise and low operation voltage characteristics.
