摘要:
A plasma display panel drive method for performing gradation display by selecting a subfield from a plurality of subfields gained by time-sharing a field according to a luminance level of an input image signal, performing write in the selected subfield by applying a voltage to cells, and causing cells to perform sustained light emission in the subfield corresponding to a result of the write, wherein the field includes two or more first subfield groups and one or more second subfield groups (arranged in a predetermined order), each first subfield group is set so that a state of one of extinction and light emission is sustained until before a first write is performed, and the opposite of the state before the first write is maintained after the first write is performed, and each second subfield group is set so that the state of one of extinction and light emission is only changed to the opposite state if write is performed.

A display panel driving apparatus capable of displaying images of good quality with a limited dither pattern. Each of pixel cells arranged on each display line in a plurality of adjacent display lines is forced to emit light at a different luminance level based on a weighting coefficient assigned to each of the display lines, wherein a weighting coefficient is assigned to each of the display lines such that an offset of luminance difference between pixel cells arranged on each of display lines adjacent to each other is held within a predetermined range across all the adjacent display lines in the display panel.

A display device in which a driver circuit supplies a sustain discharge pulse between a pair of row electrodes by performing a process having, under a state fixed one row electrode for each pair of row electrodes at a first potential in a light emission sustain period of a display panel, a first step of gradually changing the potential of the other row electrode for each pair of row electrodes from the first potential toward a second potential by means of resonance between a capacitive load and a first inductor; a second step of fixing the other row electrode in the pair of row electrodes at the second potential; and a third step of gradually changing the potential of the other row electrode of the pair of row electrodes from the second potential toward the first potential by means of resonance between the capacitive load and a second inductor; performs the second step before the potential of the other row electrode of the pair of row electrodes reaches the second potential at the first step when power consumption is not limited; and reduces the length of the period of the second step and performs the third step after completion of the reduced second step when power consumption is limited.
摘要:
With the new plasma display panel technology new kinds of artifacts can occur in video pictures due to the principle that brightness control is done with a modulation of small lighting pulses in a number of periods called sub-fields. These artifacts are commonly described as ‘dynamic false contour effect’. A technique called bit line repeat coding has been developed for reducing the false contour effect. According to this technique sub-field coding is done with common (CSF) and normal sub-fields (SF) where for the common sub-fields (CSF) identical entries in the sub-field code words of two or more corresponding pixels on two or more pixel lines are used. In this specific sub-field coding method some cases will occur in which an error has to be made due to the reduced flexibility in encoding produced by the need to have the same code on common sub-fields (CSF). The general idea of the invention is now to put the coding failures on the higher video levels of the two or more pixels being grouped together. Further improvements concern picture content analysis and or motion detection for controlling the switching between different sub-field coding modes and a specific adapted dithering pattern for use with bit line repeat coding.

A plasma display panel capable of improving dark contrast. A unit light emission region is comprised of a display discharge cell in which a discharge is produced between portions of row electrodes X, Y of each row electrode pair (X, Y) opposing each other, and a reset and address discharge cell arranged in parallel with the display discharge cell, in which a discharge is produced between portions of the row electrode Y and a row electrode X of another adjacent row electrode pair (X, Y). The display discharge cell and reset and address discharge cell are communicated with each other. A light absorbing layer is formed in a portion of the reset and address discharge cell opposing the display surface. According to another aspect, the unit light emission region in the display panel comprises a first discharge cell and a second discharge cell comprising a light absorbing layer. A sustain discharge for emitting light for displaying an image is produced in the first discharge cell, while a variety of control discharges causing light emission not associated with a displayed image are produced in the second discharge cell. According to a further aspect, unit light emission regions are formed at intersections of each of a plurality of first row electrodes and second row electrodes alternately formed on the front substrate such that the first row electrode and the second electrode in each pair are arranged in a reverse order to the preceding pair, and each of a plurality of column electrodes.
摘要:
A method of driving a plasma display panel and an apparatus thereof wherein a switching frequency of a data drive IC is reduced to decrease power consumption required for an addressing operation. In the method and apparatus, a plurality of write sub-fields at which a writing data for turning on a cell is subject to a binary coding and a plurality of erase sub-fields for expressing a gray scale value while turning off a desired cell with respect to the cells having been turned on the previous sub-fields including said write sub-fields are established. An erase data having a logic value for turning off the cells is mapped on erase sub-fields, the number of which is smaller than that of said erase sub-fields. A data having a second logic value different from a logical value of said erase data is mapped onto the remaining erase sub-fields other than the erase sub-field on which said erase data has been mapped.
摘要:
A driving method of a plasma display panel for achieving a high-quality image display by preventing an erroneous discharge light emission between row electrodes during a light emission sustaining step. In each subfield, a pixel data writing step and the light emission sustaining step are performed, and an address pulse, having the same polarity as the polarity of a sustain pulse first applied during the light emission sustaining step, is applied to the respective column electrodes concurrently with the first-applied sustain pulse.
摘要:
A display panel driving method sequentially writes pixel data of every display line into pixel cells on display lines belonging to a region other than a black display region on a screen, while the method stops writing pixel data into pixel cells on display lines belonging to the black display region or simultaneously sets the pixel cells into a non-light emitting cell state. Since a time spent for each pixel data writing process in one field is reduced, a light emission period (number of times) allocated to each light emission sustain process is increased, or the number of subfields is increased by the reduction in time, thereby making it possible to improve the quality of a displayed image.
摘要:
A method for driving a plasma display panel is deviced to produce a high-quality image with an increased number of gradations. In each subfield, first and second picture element data write processes are executed for writing picture element data in each discharge cell belonging to first and second display areas of the plasma display panel. In addition, first and second light emission sustaining processes are executed for emitting discharge cells in the light emitting state out of the discharge cells belonging to the first and second display areas. In this process, in subfields with less weight among the subfields, the first light emission sustaining process is executed immediately after the completion of the first picture element data write process, the second picture element data write process is executed immediately after the completion of the first light emission sustaining process, and the second light emission sustaining process is executed immediately after the completion of the second picture element data write process.
