Abstract:
A plasma display for applying a voltage Vs and a voltage −Vs to the scan electrodes and for applying a ground voltage to the sustain electrodes during a sustain period. The voltage −Vs is applied to the scan electrodes after the voltage of the scan electrodes is reduced from the voltage Vs to a voltage Vs1 which is higher than the ground voltage and is reduced from the voltage Vs1 to the voltage −Vs. The voltage Vs is applied to the scan electrodes after the voltage of the scan electrodes is increased from the voltage −Vs to a voltage Vs2 which is lower than the ground voltage and is increased from the voltage Vs2 to the voltage Vs.

Abstract:
A method of driving a plasma display panel (PDP) and an apparatus for carrying out the method. The PDP includes address electrodes with first electrodes and second electrodes intersecting the address electrodes. Gray-scale levels being represented by combinations of sub-fields, each sub-field having a reset period, an address period, and a sustain-discharge period. The different gray scales are achieved not only by modifying the voltage waveforms in the sustain-discharge period but also by modifying the voltage waveforms in the reset period, allowing for better control over gray scales and better contrast. Different sub-fields can have different voltages applied during the reset period which affects the luminance of the image displayed. A circuit for making the above voltage waveforms is also presented.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel including a rear substrate, a front substrate disposed separated from the rear substrate, partition walls disposed between the front substrate and the rear substrate to define discharge cells together with the front and rear substrates, sustain electrode pairs extending across the discharge cells, and address electrodes extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the sustain electrode pairs. A sustain electrode comprises a bus electrode and a transparent electrode. The bus electrode extends across the discharge cells, and the transparent electrode comprises a body portion disposed apart from the bus electrode in a direction towards a center of a discharge cell and a connection portion electrically connecting the body portion to the bus electrode. A ratio of a width of the body portion to a length of the connection portion is in a range of 1.2 to 2.2.
Abstract:
A driving method of a plasma display panel including a discharge space defined by a plurality of scan electrodes, a plurality of sustain electrodes and a plurality of address electrodes for preventing or reducing a misfiring address discharge. In the driving method, a low scan pulse voltage, which is lower than a low scan pulse voltage applied to a previously addressed scan electrode, is applied to a scan electrode which is scanned later in an address period. A low scan pulse voltage applied in an address period of a subfield having a sub-reset period is established to be lower than a low scan pulse voltage applied in an address period of a subfield having a main reset period.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel includes a first substrate, on which discharge sustain electrodes are formed, and an opposing second substrate, on which address electrodes are aligned in a first direction. Barrier ribs between the substrates define a plurality of discharge cells within which phosphor layers are formed. The display electrodes have bus electrodes, forming a corresponding pair within each of the discharge cells, and extension electrodes, extending from the bus electrodes into each of the discharge cells to form an opposing pair. A pair of the display electrodes corresponding to each of the discharge cells forms a first gap and a second gap having different distances from each other between the opposing extension electrodes, and forms a third gap between the bus electrodes. The second gap is longer than the first gap, and the third gap is longer than the second gap.

Therefore, the chassis base and the plasma display panel may be precisely aligned on the basis of the aligning mark exposed through the penetration hole.
