摘要:
A method for driving a plasma display panel applies, within a subfield among the n subfields, a narrow-width pulse having a pulse width equal to or less than 2 &mgr;s to first electrodes in order to cause an erase discharge while terminating a discharge caused between the first and second electrodes, and applies a voltage pulse to third electrodes so that the voltage pulse falls at the same time as the narrow-width pulse falls.

A triple-electrode planar display capable of achieving further power saving has been disclosed. A drive unit is dedicated to a planar display having a display panel in which cells being arranged in the form of a matrix and having a memory function and discharge glow function are formed, in which one of each pair of electrodes on the same substrate which are responsible for discharge glow is a common electrode connected in common. The drive unit includes a common electrode drive circuit for applying an alternating voltage to the common electrode, and a power save circuit that when the common electrode is changed from a high potential to a low potential, restores and accumulates power applied to the common electrode, and that when the common electrode is changed from the high potential to the low potential, applies accumulated power to the common electrode. The power save circuit includes a restoration channel that includes a capacitive element and inductance element and that restores power, and an application channel that includes an inductance element and that applies accumulated power to the common electrode.

摘要:
An electrode drive circuit performs interlaced scanning, ensuring that the phases of the sustaining pulse in odd-numbered lines and even-numbered lines among L1 to L8 between surface discharge electrodes are the reverse of each other. With this, when either odd-numbered lines or even-numbered lines are displayed, the voltages applied between the electrodes of the undisplayed lines are at 0, eliminating the necessity for partitioning walls on the surface discharge electrodes. In surface discharge electrodes, X electrodes are provided on the two sides of a Y electrode and the area between the Y electrode and the X electrode on one side is assigned a display line at an odd-numbered frame, and the area between the Y electrode and the X electrode on the other side is assigned a display line in an even-numbered frame. Alternate areas between the surface discharge electrodes are assigned as blind lines and a discharge light emission in the blind lines is blocked or incident light to the blind lines from the outside is absorbed. Address electrodes are provided for each monochromatic pixel column and selectively connected with the pads above them, performing simultaneous selection of lines.
摘要:
Method for driving a plasma display panel. At least one first discharge sustaining pulse is applied to a first pair of display electrodes, and at least one second discharge sustaining pulse applied to an adjacent pair of display electrodes. The first and second discharge sustaining pulses are applied such that they are in the same phase as one another and/or such that a current in the first pair of display electrodes flows in the opposite direction from a current in the adjacent pair of display electrodes.
