Abstract:
There is provided a method that includes generating a first waveform for a first electrode of a pixel of a plasma display, and generating a second waveform for a second electrode of the pixel. The first waveform includes a first setup waveform and a first sustain waveform, and the second waveform includes a second setup waveform and a second sustain waveform. The first and second setup waveforms are generated during a setup period for setting a wall charge of the pixel, and the first and second sustain waveforms are generated during a sustain period for sustaining a discharge of a gas in a region of the pixel. The first setup waveform attains a voltage that is more positive than a maximum positive voltage of the first sustain waveform, and the second setup waveform attains a voltage that is more negative than a maximum negative voltage of the second sustain waveform. There is also provided a plasma display and a controller that employ the method.

Abstract:
There is provided a method for controlling a pixel in a plasma display. The method includes applying a first voltage to a first electrode, a second voltage to a second electrode, and a third voltage to a third electrode to generate a first plasma discharge of a dischargeable gas in the pixel. The method also includes applying a forth voltage to the first electrode, a fifth voltage to the second electrode, and a sixth voltage to the third electrode to generate a second plasma discharge of the dischargeable gas in the pixel. The first plasma discharge establishes a first wall potential between the first electrode and the third electrode. The second plasma discharge establishes a second wall potential between the first electrode and the third electrode. The second wall potential is offset from the first wall potential. There is also provided a plasma display and a controller that employ the method.
