摘要:
In a setup period of a first SF, a first ramp waveform (L2) that drops from a first potential (Vsus) to a second potential (−Vad+Vset2) is applied to scan electrodes belonging to a first scan electrode group. On the other hand, a second ramp waveform (L3) that drops from a third potential (Vsus+Vscn) higher than the first potential (Vsus) to a fourth potential (−Vad+Vscn) higher than the second potential (−Vad+Vset2) is applied to scan electrodes belonging to a second scan electrode group. In addition, a scan pulse (Pa) is sequentially applied to the scan electrodes belonging to the first scan electrode group, and then a third ramp waveform (L4) that drops to the second potential (−Vad+Vset2) and a scan pulse (Pa) are sequentially applied to the scan electrodes belonging to the second scan electrode group in a write period of the first SF.

A stable address discharge in a plasma display device is generated without increased voltage to cope with increase in the cumulative current-carrying time of a panel with high luminance. A cumulative time calculating circuit for calculating cumulative current-carrying time of the panel and a driving circuit for driving the panel. The driving circuit delivers collected power to the display electrode pairs and clamps each voltage of the display electrode pairs to power-supply voltage and base potential. A sustain period has a period, during which the voltage of the display electrode pairs is clamped to base potential, between the sustain pulse for generating the last sustain discharge in the sustain period and the immediately preceding sustain pulse. The length of the period is changed according to the cumulative current-carrying time calculated by the cumulative time calculating circuit.
摘要:
In a plasma-display-panel driving method, a field period is divided into a plurality of sub fields, each of which has an address period for allowing discharge cells to selectively generate an address discharge and a sustain period for allowing the discharge cells having generated the address discharge to generate a sustain discharge by a number of times corresponding to a brightness weight. In the sustain period, a period for setting display electrode pairs to the base potential is disposed between the sustain pulse for causing the final sustain discharge in the sustain period and the previous sustain pulse. In a time interval corresponding to the lighting ratio of the discharge cells in the sub field after applying to the display electrode pairs a voltage for generating the final sustain discharge, a voltage for reducing the potential difference between electrodes of the display electrode pairs is applied to the display electrode pairs. Accordingly, it is possible to generate a stable address discharge and thus to reduce a crosstalk without increasing the voltage for generating the address discharge.

A second up-ramp waveform voltage is applied to the scan electrode after generation of the first up-ramp waveform voltage, in the sustain period of the weak-discharge sustain-operation subfield in a discharge cell that is to be subjected to a selective initializing operation in the initializing period of the subfield immediately after the weak-discharge sustain-operation subfield.

Crosstalk between adjacent discharge cells is reduced for a stable sustain discharge. A plasma display panel has scan electrodes and sustain electrodes arranged so that the positions of the corresponding scan electrode and sustain electrode are alternately interchanged in each display electrode pair, and image signal processing circuit converts an image signal into image data indicating light emission and no light emission in each discharge cell in each subfield. The image signal processing circuit generates the image data so that a combination of image data is avoided. One of two adjacent discharge cells having side-by-side scan electrodes is lit and the other of the discharge cells is unlit in one subfield of a plurality of subfields forming one field, and the one of the discharge cells is unlit and the other of the discharge cells is lit in a subfield after the one subfield in the same field.

Stable address discharge is caused in a plasma display panel. For this purpose, the image display region of the panel is divided into a plurality of partial display regions, and scan electrodes in each partial display region are classified into two scan electrode groups based on the arranging sequence of the scan electrodes on the panel. The two scan electrode groups are a first scan electrode group including odd-numbered scan electrodes, and a second scan electrode group including even-numbered scan electrodes, In each partial display region in the address period, an overshoot address operation is performed. To the scan electrodes to which scan pulses are to be applied from the first time to a predetermined-number-th time in each scan electrode group, scan pulses are applied where the pulse cycle is set longer than that of the scan pulses to be applied to the other scan electrodes.

The present invention attains above through the followings: preparing display combination sets each of which having difference in number of combinations; determining whether or not magnitude of image signals, except for a predetermined color image signal, is greater than a threshold; and according to the determination above, selecting a set for the predetermined color image signal from the display combination sets. A display combination set used for the predetermined color image signal when the image signals except for the predetermined color image signal have magnitude not less than the threshold is smaller in number of combinations than that used for the predetermined color image signal when the image signals except for the predetermined color image signal have magnitude smaller than the threshold.
