摘要:
Row electrodes Xi (i=1 to n) are arranged over portions close to right and left ends of a PDP, and column electrodes Wj (j=1 to m) are arranged over portions close to upper and lower ends thereof to grade-separately intersect with the row electrodes Xi. The column electrodes Wj and Wm+1−j are connected in common. Row electrodes YL1 to YLn extending over a portion close to the left end and a portion close to the center and row electrodes YR1 to YRn extending over a portion close to the right end and a portion close to the center are arranged alternately with row electrodes X1 to Xn. A scan pulse Vax1 is successively applied to the row electrodes Xi and a voltage Vaw1 based on image data is applied to each column electrode Wj in synchronization with the application of the pulse Vax1 in a first address period. In this period, a subscan pulse Vay1 is applied to the row electrodes YL1 to YLn while the row electrodes YR1 to YRn are set to a ground potential. In a second address period, the voltages applied to the aforementioned row electrodes YL1 to YLn and the row electrodes YR1 to YRn are exchanged. Thus, reduction of the cost for a plasma display device is attained by reducing the number of driving ICs for the column electrodes.

Column electrodes W1 to Wm are arranged on the side of a rear glass substrate along a first direction D1 at regular intervals. Row electrodes X1 to Xn and Y1 to Yn include (a) strip bus electrodes Xb1 to Xbn and Yb1 to Ybn alternately arranged on a surface of a front glass substrate closer to discharge spaces at regular pitches to extend in a second direction D2 and (b) square transparent electrodes Xt and Yt having ends connected to the bus electrodes Xb1 to Xbn and Yb1 to Ybn respectively. The transparent electrodes Xt and Yt alternately extend into single ones of unit areas AR adjacent to each other in the first direction D1 through the bus electrodes Xbi and Ybi connected with the ends thereof. The unit areas AR are separated into discharge cells C having discharge gaps defined by opposite edges of the transparent electrodes Xt and Yt and non-discharge cells NC having no discharge gaps. The discharge gaps C are not adjacent to each other in the first and second directions D1 and D2. Thus provided is an AC-PDP capable of suppressing/avoiding false discharge.

When images from multiple viewpoints are required, respective imaging locations of the multiple viewpoints are specified and imaging operations themselves may be executed simply. When image data is to be imaged from plural viewpoints that are elements for generating a three-dimensional form of a specific subject, a user is appropriately guided. Messages prompting ranging directly in front of the specific subject, movement from the ranging position to an imaging start point, and movement from the imaging start point to an imaging end point are displayed in a message display region of an LCD monitor or the like. In addition, from analysis of a through-image, positions of a digital camera are automatically identified and automatic imaging is carried out on the basis of movements of feature points.

A segment allocation determination unit of an image decoding device determines an allocation of segments, in accordance with processing capabilities of the image decoding units, so that the processing times of the image decoding units are equal. When a first error detection unit detects an error, a segment allocation determination unit performs control so that the segment including the error is allocated to an image decoding unit to which a predicted reference image of the segment is allocated. When any of second error detection units detect an error, the segment allocation determination unit controls allocation of the next series of segments with consideration to a bit amount skipped due to the error. This enables providing an image decoding device that can efficiently realize decoding with a plurality of image decoding units even when an error is detected.
