Provided is a device for supplying an array of electrodes of a plasma display panel, the device including, for each electrode, a driver having a series of switches and a series of diodes, the common points of which are connected to the electrode. The upper terminal of the series of diodes is connected directly to the output of a sustain generator and the lower terminal is connected to the sustain generator via a power switch. One of the terminals of the series of switches is connected to the output of a negative voltage generator. In periods during which the negative voltage generator applies a negative voltage to the electrodes, the power switch is open in order to avoid a short-circuit via the diode of the sustain generator.

A display apparatus is provided with a reverse gamma conversion circuit, an image signal processing circuit, and a display device. The display device is a PDP in which the light-emitting characteristics are linear. The image signal processing circuit is provided with a smoothing signal generator for smoothing image signals after reverse gamma conversion. Also provided is a detector whereby patterns that are to be processed as signals are detected from the image. The patterns include points of variation in which the gradation difference prior to reverse gamma conversion is a single gradation and in which the gradation difference is made to be two gradations or more due to reverse gamma conversion. A substitution unit is provided for substituting the smoothed gradation values in place of a portion of the gradation values of the pattern, and outputting the result to the display device.

A false contour reduction device reduces the occurrence of false contours on a display screen. The false contour reduction device includes a false contour occurrence pixel detection circuit, a specific color pixel detection circuit, and a false contour reduction processing circuit. The false contour occurrence pixel detection circuit detect at which pixels false contours will occur among the pixels in an image based on the input image signal. The detected pixels are false-contour-occurring pixels. The specific color pixel detection circuit detects pixels which have a specific color within a specific color range, among the false-contour-occurring pixels. The detected pixels are specific color false-contour-occurring pixels. The false contour reduction processing circuit performs a false contour reducing process on the specific color false-contour-occurring pixels.

In this method, one field corresponding to one image is divided into a plurality of sub-fields, and at least one second sub-field is arranged after a first sub-field. In the first sub-field, the method comprises a first step of forming wall charges with negative polarity near the scanning electrode and forming wall charges with positive polarity near the common electrode and the data electrode; a second step of adjusting an amount of the wall charges with negative polarity near the scanning electrode and an amount of the wall charges with positive polarity near the common electrode and the data electrode; a third step of generating a writing discharge in a selected display cell of the display cells; a fourth step of generating light emission for display; and a fifth step of erasing a part of the wall charges in the display cell which emits light in the fourth step. In the second sub-field, the method comprises the same steps as the third, fourth and fifth steps. A potential difference between a scanning electrode and a common electrode in each of the fifth steps in the first and second sub-fields is set to be smaller than a potential difference between a scanning electrode and a common electrode in each of the third steps in the first and second sub-fields.

When a discharge start voltage takes a normal value under the normal temperature, priming discharge starts at a time t1. In this case, at a time t3 that is later than the time t1 by a predetermined time t, a sustain driver control signal Ssud2 is raised to put a sustain electrode into the floating state to stop the priming discharge. When the discharge start voltage takes a higher value than usual under the high temperature, the priming discharge starts at a time t2. In this case, at a time t4 that is later than the time t2 by the predetermined time t, the sustain driver control signal Ssud2 is lowered to put the sustain electrode into the floating state to stop the priming discharge. With such a configuration, provided is a plasma display device capable of implementing excellent and stable display quality while maintaining constant, even if a discharge start voltage varies, the charge state in display cells after a priming period, and a drive method for such a plasma display device.

A dynamic false contour reducing circuit which comprises a false contour detector, an error diffusion processing part, and a display controller. The false contour detector receives an input signal for displaying an image at a pixel of interest to detect a false contour magnitude at the pixel of interest when an image is displayed at the pixel of interest based on the input signal. The error diffusion processing part performs error diffusion processing for the input signal in a manner depending on the level of the false contour magnitude detected by the false contour detector. The display controller controls a display part such that an image is displayed based on the input signal which has undergone the error diffusion processing by the error diffusion processing part.
