A panel driving apparatus for driving a panel having a plurality of panel blocks for a sustain discharge is provided. The panel driving apparatus includes a sustain discharge circuit part supplying a sustain pulse through an output terminal to the panel, and a switching part having a plurality of control switches for connecting the output terminal of the sustain discharge circuit part to the plurality of panel blocks. When electrodes of the panel are separated in blocks, the panel driving apparatus can be implemented at a low cost without any circuit variation during sustain discharge.
摘要:
A method for driving a plasma display panel, including a reset period, an address period, and a sustain discharge period, wherein the reset period has a rising ramp section. During the rising ramp section of the reset period, a flat period of maintaining a peak voltage of a rising ramp applied to a scan electrode is maintained for longer than a period until a variation in a state of wall charges of the scan electrode is ended in all discharge cells.

A PDP driving method. A falling ramp voltage is applied to a scan electrode so as to reset a state of wall charges of a discharge cell during a reset period. In this instance, a sustain electrode is maintained at a high voltage during an initial period for applying the falling ramp voltage, and the voltage at the sustain electrode is reduced to a normal voltage at a latter part of the period for applying the falling ramp voltage. Accordingly, the voltage applied to an address electrode is reduced in an address period since an erased amount of the wall charges of the address electrode is reduced during the reset period.

Disclosed are a driving device and a driving method for a plasma display panel (PDP). A panel capacitor is formed by a scan electrode and a sustain electrode. The charges are moved from the panel capacitor to a capacitor by turning on a transistor which is connected between the scan electrode and the capacitor. By this method, the voltage of the panel capacitor is steeply reduced so that a discharge is generated in the panel capacitor. When the voltage of the capacitor increases because of the charges moved from the panel capacitor, the gate-source voltage of the transistor is reduced. As a result, the transistor is turned off so that the scan electrode is floated. Accordingly, the discharge is steeply quenched so that the wall charges are precisely controlled. After the capacitor is discharged, the above-noted operation may be repeated.

A panel driving method for driving a display panel having a progressive scanning electrode structure includes determining an image output mode, driving the display panel by progressive scanning in a first mode, and driving the display panel by interlaced scanning in a second mode. In a display panel having a progressive scanning electrode structure, progressive scanning is used to embody high definition, or interlaced scanning is used to embody high luminance, according to a desired image output mode. A panel driving apparatus comprises a scanning pulse generator applying the same address pulse to pairs of scan electrodes, a first sustain pulse generator for applying main sustain pulses to a first group of scan electrodes, and a second sustain pulse generator for applying subsidiary sustain pulses to a second group of scan electrodes.
