摘要:
A simple, low cost drive circuit secures a sufficient number of subfields in a high resolution panel. The plasma display panel drive circuit groups plural sustain electrodes into first and second sustain electrode groups, and applies sustain pulses in the sustain period. The first and second sustain pulse generating circuits generate and apply sustain pulses to first and second electrode paths. First and second specific voltage application circuits apply a first specific voltage to the first and second electrode paths. The voltage selection circuit selects one of a plurality of voltages including at least a second specific voltage and a third specific voltage, and generates a selected voltage. The first and second sustain pulse generating circuits generate the sustain pulses based on the second specific voltage when the selected voltage is the second specific voltage, and when the selected voltage is the third specific voltage, apply the third specific voltage to the first and second electrode paths.

A plurality of display electrode pairs are divided into two display electrode pair groups I and II. One field is divided into M (M is an integer of 2 or more) sub-fields SFL (L=1 to M) each including a wall voltage adjusting period, an address period, and a sustain period.

A method of driving a plasma display panel of the present invention, is a driving method of a display panel including plural display electrode pairs (24) each including a scan electrode (22) and a sustain electrode (23) extending along each other, plural data electrodes (32) crossing the plural display electrode pairs (24) and discharge cells respectively formed at positions where the display electrode pairs (24) and the data electrodes (32) cross each other. The method comprises applying a last sustain pulse to the scan electrode (22) in a sustain period when a sustain voltage pulse is applied alternately to the scan electrode (22) and to the sustain electrode (23); then applying to the scan electrode (22) a first ramp voltage having a first ramp waveform which is opposite in polarity to the last sustain voltage pulse; and applying to the sustain electrode (23) a second ramp voltage having a second ramp waveform which is opposite in polarity to the first ramp voltage such that before one of the first and second ramp waveforms reaches a predetermined voltage and finishes rising, the other of the first and second ramp waveforms starts rising.

The present invention provides a plasma display panel driving method and a plasma display device, each of which is capable of securing image quality and realizing an improvement of a drive margin and a reduction in power consumption even in the case of an ultra high definition panel. The present invention divides a plurality of display electrode pairs into a plurality of display electrode pair groups. For each of the display electrode pair groups, the present invention divides one field period into a plurality of sub-fields, each including an address period and a sustain period, such that the address periods with respect to the display electrode pair groups do not overlap one another, the address period being a period in which an address process of causing address discharge in the discharge cell which should emit light is carried out, the sustain period being a period in which first and second sustain pulses are applied to a scan electrode and a sustain electrode. The present invention provides the sub-field in which the cycle of each of the first and second sustain pulses is longer than 5.5 μs within such a range that a time of the sustain period does not exceed Tw×(N−1)/N, where N denotes the number of display electrode pair groups, and Tw denotes a time necessary for carrying out the address process with respect to the discharge cells corresponding to all the display electrode pairs.

In a driving method of a plasma display panel of the present invention, plural display electrode pairs are divided into plural display electrode pair groups and one field is divided into plural sub-fields. The length of the sustain period is compared to the length of the erase period. If the sustain period is longer than the erase period, sustain discharge and erase discharge are performed for each of the display electrode pair groups, while if the sustain period is shorter than the erase period, sustain discharge and erase discharge of one display electrode pair group are synchronized with those of another display electrode pair group. For a sub-field with a largest luminance weight or a sub-field with a highest lighting ratio, sustain discharge and erase discharge of one display electrode pair group are synchronized with those of another display electrode pair group without fail.

The total number of the scan electrodes is divided into a first scan electrode group and a second scan electrode group. The first scan electrode group drive section for driving the first scan electrode group produces a selection potential and a non-selection potential in the scan period, and supplies scan pulses based on the two potentials in the first half of the scan period. The complex switch section supplies the selection potential produced using the first scan electrode group drive section to the second scan electrode group drive section for driving the second scan electrode group in the latter half of the scan period. The second scan electrode group drive section supplies scan pulses based on the input selection potential.
