Abstract:
A PDP driving method, at the first timing point of a reset period, a global voltage difference is applied between the sustaining electrodes and the scanning electrodes, wherein the gaseous discharge occurs only in the non-display areas, called the dark areas. Because the discharge during reset period does not occur in the display areas, the picture quality is assured from avoiding the emission of over-brightness in the reset period which enables the sequential gaseous discharge operations to proceed with smaller driving voltage.
Abstract:
An energy recovery circuit of a plasma display panel is disclosed, which can drive the sustain electrode of the plasma display panel during the sustain period. The energy recovery circuit includes a voltage source which can store electrical energy, a first channel for raising the voltage of the sustain electrode to high potential, a second channel for pulling the voltage of the sustain electrode down to ground, and other auxiliary circuits. When the first channel is turned on, the voltage source can transmit electrical energy to the sustain electrode. When the second channel is turned on, the voltage source retrieves the electrical energy from the sustain electrode. Thereby the sustain electrode is driven between high potential and ground. Moreover, the first channel and the second channel can share a part of common channel.
