摘要:
A sustain or scan electrode driver for a plasma display device including a power recovery circuit, a voltage storage circuit, and a switching circuit. Power recovery is achieved by a coupling a power source at a minus sustain voltage to the sustain or scan electrode driver circuit that includes a capacitor and an inductor for creating resonance with the panel capacitor and recovering the power used in sustain discharge. Power loss of switches used in the driver circuit may be reduced and power recovery efficiency may be increased by using an additional capacitor in the driver circuit that maintains terminals of the switch at a predetermined level.

A method of expressing gray scales of a plasma panel display using the sum of weights assigned to subfields, including extracting a first gray scale arrangement including gray scale n using (k−1) subfields to gray scale m using k subfields from a second gray scale arrangement including gray scale 1 to gray scale m using k subfields between the 1st and the jth subfields when the number of subfields used for gray scale (i+1) is the same or greater than the number of subfields used for gray scale i, and generating a third gray scale arrangement including gray scales (n+p) to (m+p) by adding a weight p of the (j+1)th subfield to the first gray subfield arrangement including the gray scales n to m.
摘要:
A panel driving method in which a single TV field includes at least one reset period and at least one subfield and each of the at least one subfields includes an address period and a sustain period, includes supplying a variable reset pulse according to the length of a pause period in a previous or present TV field. A variable reset period is supplied according to the length of a pause period in a single TV field, so that a reset operation for preparing the address period is stably performed.
摘要:
A PDP driving method. A falling ramp voltage is applied to a scan electrode so as to reset a state of wall charges of a discharge cell during a reset period. In this instance, a sustain electrode is maintained at a high voltage during an initial period for applying the falling ramp voltage, and the voltage at the sustain electrode is reduced to a normal voltage at a latter part of the period for applying the falling ramp voltage. Accordingly, the voltage applied to an address electrode is reduced in an address period since an erased amount of the wall charges of the address electrode is reduced during the reset period.
摘要:
A method for driving a plasma display panel, including a reset period, an address period, and a sustain discharge period, wherein the reset period has a rising ramp section. During the rising ramp section of the reset period, a flat period of maintaining a peak voltage of a rising ramp applied to a scan electrode is maintained for longer than a period until a variation in a state of wall charges of the scan electrode is ended in all discharge cells.
摘要:
A plasma display device and a driving method thereof. A sustain discharge before a reset period for initializing a cell which is sustain discharged in a previous subfield is generated as a weak discharge rather than a strong discharge. By generating a weak sustain discharge, the amount of wall charge formed in the exterior area of electrodes may be reduced. As a result, in the subsequent reset period, the wall charge can be controlled to be appropriate for addressing while preventing misfiring and low discharge.
摘要:
In a driving method of a plasma display device, a final voltage of a falling ramp voltage is set to a discharge firing voltage of all the discharge cells after applying a gradually rising ramp voltage during a reset period. A difference in voltage applied to an address electrode and to a scan electrode is set to be greater than the maximum discharge firing voltage in turn-on discharge cells in an address period. A bias voltage applied in a rising reset period, an address period, and a sustain period of subfields that express low grayscales is increased, and the address electrode is biased with a positive voltage in the sustain period. With this configuration, the problem of worsening the margins by loss of wall charges is solved since addressing is not influenced by the wall charges and performance of expressing low grayscales is increased.

Disclosed is a plasma display device and driving method thereof. Frames are divided into a set of subfields. A main reset waveform is applied in the first subfield in which non-reference data is applied. An auxiliary reset waveform is applied in other subfields so that address failure caused by loss of wall charges is reduced and low discharges are prevented.

Disclosed is a PDP driving method which may include generating subfield information that shows ON/OFF states of discharge cells from among a plurality of subfields from input image signals, generating address information that shows ON/OFF states of the discharge cells per subfield from the subfield data, counting the number of the discharge cells that are ON from among the discharge cells from the address data, and controlling a waveform applied during a reset period of a subsequent subfield.
