摘要:
In a former half (T11) of an all-cell reset period (T1), the potential of a scan electrode (Scn) is raised from 0 [V] to Vp [V] at a timing t0, and thereafter maintained at the positive potential of Vp [V] to Vg [V] until a timing t3 when the former half (T11) ends. On the other hand, in the same former half (T11), a reset pulse (Pul.2), which includes a negative ramp waveform portion from 0 [V] to a potential of Vr [V], is applied to a sustain electrode (Sus). A time period (t1−t0) of the negative ramp waveform portion of the pulse (Pul.2) is set longer than a time period required for the potential change of a pulse (Pul.1) from P1 to P2.
摘要:
The present invention provides a plasma display panel and a method for driving the plasma display panel each of which ensures to suppress problems associated with an erroneous discharge resulting from accidental occurrence of a strong discharge in a reset period as well as with an address discharge delay. The problems are suppressed without applying an auxiliary erase pulse after the reset period ends. As a result, image display is provided with no flickering and good quality. The reset period includes a first step of applying a voltage having an ascending ramp waveform and a second step of applying a voltage having a descending ramp waveform. Between the first and second steps, a potential change waveform having a rise or fall (voltage change pulse) is applied at least to scan electrodes, sustain electrodes, or address electrodes.

Provided are a PDP device and a drive method thereof which restrict the generation of an erroneous discharge in the all-cell reset period and to restrict the appearance of flickers in the areas with low grayscale levels even if some areas have a lower firing voltage than the other areas due to variation of a property in the panel surfaces or due to a long-term driving, or even if the voltage applied to the address electrode is increased with the pursuit of high definition.The pulse Pul.3 is applied to address electrodes Dat at timing t0 prior to timing t1 when the potential of the scan electrodes Scn is increased to Vq(V). In this drive method, voltage Vx(V) is applied to address electrodes Dat so that there is no potential difference between the scan electrodes Scn and the sustain electrodes Sus at timing t0 when discharge Dis.3 is generated. Accordingly, the discharge Dis.3, which is generated between the scan electrodes Scn and the sustain electrodes Sus due to reduction in the firing voltage, does not become a trigger for extending to the scan electrodes Scn to generate an erroneous discharge.

In a driving method of a panel, one field period is formed by arranging a plurality of subfields that have an address period for selectively causing address discharge in a discharge cell, and a sustain period for causing as many sustain discharges as the number corresponding to luminance weight in the discharge cell. One field period is formed by arranging a plurality of subfield groups having a plurality of subfields whose luminance weights monotonically increase. In the discharge cell for causing address discharge in a certain subfield other than the head subfield in each subfield group, address discharge is caused even in the head subfield.

In a driving method of a panel, one field period is formed by arranging a plurality of subfields that have an initializing period for causing initializing discharge in a discharge cell, an address period for selectively causing address discharge in the discharge cell, and a sustain period for causing as many sustain discharges as the number corresponding to luminance weight in the discharge cell. One field period is formed by arranging a plurality of subfield groups having a plurality of subfields whose luminance weights monotonically increase. A holding period when discharge is not caused is disposed before the head subfield belonging to at least one subfield group of the plurality of subfield groups. In the initializing period of the head subfield belonging to at least one subfield group, an initializing operation of causing initializing discharge is performed in the discharge cell where the sustain discharge has been performed in the sustain period of the immediately preceding subfield.
摘要:
An unnecessary discharge caused in the discharge cells in an initializing operation is prevented. This reduces the luminance of black level in a display image and stabilizes the address discharge at the same time, thus enhancing the image display quality. A plasma display panel that has a plurality of discharge cells having data electrodes and display electrode pairs, each formed of a scan electrode and a sustain electrode, is driven for gradation display such that a plurality of subfields is set in one field and each of the subfields has an initializing period, an address period, and a sustain period. For the above purpose, in the driving method for the plasma display panel, the following operations are performed. In the address period of a predetermined subfield, after the application of a scan pulse to all the scan electrodes is completed, a ramp voltage gently falling from a first voltage is applied to the sustain electrodes. In the period during which the falling ramp voltage is applied to the sustain electrodes, a second voltage is applied to the data electrodes.

The selective initializing operation includes the step of applying first voltage to the sustain electrode and applying an up-ramp waveform voltage to the scan electrode, the step of applying a first down-ramp waveform voltage to the scan electrode and then applying a positive rectangular voltage to it, and the step of applying second voltage higher than the first voltage to the sustain electrode and applying a second down-ramp waveform voltage to the scan electrode.

A plasma display panel; a scan electrode drive circuit for generating a gently decreasing downward inclined waveform voltage in an initializing period, a gently increasing first inclined waveform voltage, and a second inclined waveform voltage having a steeper gradient than the first inclined waveform voltage and decreasing immediately after the increasing waveform voltage reaches a predetermined potential in the last part of the sustain period. The lowest voltage in the downward inclined waveform voltage is switched at a first voltage, a second voltage higher than the first voltage and a third voltage higher than the second voltage to generate a downward inclined waveform voltage. The lowest voltage is switched according to the detected temperature to generate the downward inclined waveform voltage.
