Abstract:
The invention relates to display engineering and can be used for developing means for displaying on ac colour plasma panels with surface discharge. Said invention makes it possible to increase the contrast, improve reliability control of a panel at high luminosity and light efficiency and to reduce the number of scanning electrodes. The invention is characterised in that each pixel has a light configuration in the form of a diamond. Said pixel consists of three-colour display elements having the light configuration in the form of a parallelogram. Said parallelograms are dissymmetrically arranged with respect to each other in the adjacent display lines along the display vertical axis. The display lines of the panel are grouped by pairs. The display elements are provided with a common scanning electrode which forms, in conjunction with nearest display electrodes, preliminary discharge gaps. The preliminary discharge and an address discharge are formed in an alternate manner during the input of information, a discharge stabilisation mode being performed after each addressing.
Abstract:
The inventive alternating current colour plasma panel and method for controlling said panel are used for developing individual means for displaying on alternating current colour plasma panels (CPP) and modules for patching displays providing high intensity, luminous efficiency, increased contrast and image quality and ensuring reliable operation and control. Said invention is characterised in that a scanner electrode is embodied in the form of two electrical conductors of a display element which are disposed at an optimum distance with respect to each other, making it possible to input information with the aid of an additional discharge gap occupying a small part of the area of the display element, thereby providing said contrast. The embodiment of the control electrodes in the form of buses provided with conductors makes it possible to increase gas ionisation volume and reduce the statistical delay of the discharge. The additional discharge gaps introduced into the oversized display elements eliminate flicker in the luminous display elements.
