摘要:
A method of driving a plasma display panel having plural, parallel sustain and scan electrodes, corresponding to respective display lines, and plural address electrodes in opposed relationship and electrically isolated with respect to the sustain and scan electrodes and intersecting same so as to form respective discharge cells at the intersections. The method produces an interlaced display by generating discharges in selected discharge cells, in odd and even fields, between respective, different sets of the sustain and scan electrodes. Each of the odd and even fields includes a reset period in which a reset discharges are produced in the discharge cells to establish a uniform charge distribution therein, an address period in which write discharges are produced in selected discharge cells in accordance with display data and a sustain discharge period in which sustain discharge pulses are produced in the written discharge cells to establish a glow discharge, for display during the respective periods. Potential differences between the respective sets of the sustain and scan electrodes of the odd and even fields are held below a discharge initiating voltage level, thereby avoiding the otherwise occurring problem of contrast drop.

A plasma display panel and driving method thereof perform addressing at a high speed and a low voltage without deteriorating contrast. Priming electrodes forming priming cells are located outside but adjacent a display area. Glow occurring in the priming cells is intercepted. When priming discharge is induced at a reset step, voltages lower than a discharge start voltage are applied to first (X) and second (Y) electrodes and third (address) electrodes respectively. Despite the voltages being lower than the discharge start voltage, once discharge is induced in the priming cells, discharge starts in adjoining cells. The discharge then spreads successively over all the cells, thus inducing discharge in all the cells. Consequently, wall charge is produced in all the cells.

A plasma display device is capable of creating a screen of high quality without generating half tone noise in the succeeding frames irrespective of the arrangement or the turn-on state of the subframes in a preceding frame that is being displayed. A picture of a frame is displayed on a plasma display device by combining a plurality of subframes SF1 and Sfn having different degrees of brightness. Each of the plurality of subframes SF1 and Sfn includes a totally writing and totally self-erasing period S1, an address period S2, a sustain discharge period S3, and a quiescent period S4 determined by a difference between the sum of the periods S1 to S3 and a period of a vertical synchronizing signal Vsync. A period S5 for imparting a discharge waveform different from the sustain discharge waveform applied across the electrodes is provided in the sustain discharge period S3 between the quiescent period S4 in the predetermined frame FM1 and the totally writing and totally self-erasing period S1 in the succeeding frame FM2.

A high-definition large-screen panel capable of realizing full-color high-luminance display without the restrictions that have been imposed on luminance (number of sustaining discharges) and gray-scale display or the number of display lines in the past has been disclosed. The panel includes a plurality of cells that selectively discharge to glow. According to a driving method for a plasma display panel, during an addressing period, a voltage is applied selectively to cells according to display data so that a charge proportional to display data can be stored in each cell. During a sustaining discharge period, a sustaining discharge voltage is applied to the plurality of cells so that cells in which given charges are stored can discharge to glow. In the driving method, during the addressing period, a plurality of different voltages associated with gray-scale levels to be displayed are applied to the cells so that a quantity of charge proportional to an applied voltage can be stored in each cell. During the sustaining discharge period, the strength of an applied voltage is varied.

A method of driving a surface discharge plasma display panel has a reset step of applying a pulse of a first voltage to paired first and second electrodes, a write step of applying a pulse of a second voltage to second and third electrodes corresponding to cells to be turned ON, and a sustain discharge step of applying an AC pulse of a fourth voltage to the paired first and second electrodes. The pulse of the first voltage is so set that it is higher than a first discharge start voltage, a third voltage caused by the discharge is higher than the first discharge start voltage, and the first, second, and third electrodes have the same potential after the application of the pulse of the first voltage. Therefore, an address discharge of the surface discharge plasma display panel can be caused by a wide range of voltages, and display quality of the panel can be improved.

Disclosed is a method for driving a plasma display panel in which a plurality of first electrodes and second electrodes are arranged parallel to each other, a plurality of third electrodes are arranged to cross the first and second electrodes, and discharge cells defined with areas in which the electrodes cross mutually are arranged in the form of a matrix. According to the driving method, a reset period is a period during which the distribution of wall charges in the plurality of discharge cells is uniformed. An addressing period is a period during which wall charges are produced in the discharge cells according to display data. A sustain discharge period is a period during which sustain discharge is induced in the discharge cells in which wall charges are produced during the addressing period. The driving method in accordance with the present invention comprises a step of applying a first pulse in which an applied voltage varies with time so as to induce first discharge in the lines defined by the first and second electrodes, and a step of applying a second pulse in which an applied voltage varies with time so as to induce second discharge as erase discharge in the lines defined by the first and second electrodes. These steps are carried out during the reset period.

A display apparatus, that can prevent thermal destruction and burning with a simple structure, has been disclosed. In the apparatus it is judged that there is possibility of a pattern, whose area with high brightness is small, being displayed frequently, when a state in which the total light emission pulse number remains large occurs with high frequency, and if such a state is detected, the total light emission pulse number (sustain frequency) is reduced to prevent the thermal destruction and burning.
摘要:
In a sustain operation in an ALIS PDP device, a combination in which a basic first waveform and a second waveform in which a discharge peak is separated are mixed is applied. In the combination, the probability that the second waveform occurs successively is sufficiently reduced to less than 20%, and the number of times of sustain discharges of various intensities is made equal in the lines to be driven. By this means, the 2L nonuniformity can be prevented, and the deterioration of Vsmin can be reduced.
