PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce brightness of black displayed in a plasma display panel and to stably generate write discharge.SOLUTION: One field includes a first type sub-field where a sustain pulse is generated and is applied to a display electrode pair in a sustain period and a second type sub-field where a rising ramp voltage and a falling ramp voltage are generated and are applied to a scan electrode in a sustain period without generation of a sustain pulse. The second type sub-field is defined as a sub-field having the least brightness weight. Brightness around a plasma display device is compared with first illuminance. When an image to be displayed in a plasma display panel satisfies a prescribed condition, the sub-field having the least brightness weight is forcibly lit at a prescribed lighting rate in the case of the detected brightness being lower than the first illuminance, and the sub-field having the least brightness weight is forcibly lit at a lighting rate corresponding to the detected brightness in the case of the detected brightness being equal to or higher than the first illuminance.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce cost of a plasma display panel device, while realizing high luminance and power saving. SOLUTION: In a driving method of a plasma display panel having a plurality of display electrode pairs, each of which consists of a scanning electrode and a sustaining electrode and constitutes a display line, in a sustaining period, sustaining pulses having a first period and a second period are applied to the display electrode pairs, by using a sustain pulse generating circuit having a capacitor and an inductor. In the first period, electric power accumulated in the capacitor is supplied to an inter-electrode capacitance of the display electrode pair. In the second period, electric power accumulated in the inter-electrode capacitance of the display electrode pair is recovered to the capacitor. In the sustaining period of at least one subfield, the length of the first period of the sustaining pulse to be applied to the display electrode pair is set based on a maximum value of a display load for each display line and the number of high-load lines obtained by using the number of display lines with a display load of a predetermined value or more.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display an image of high contrast by setting the number of times of performing a forced initialization operation to once per a plurality of fields by using a plasma display panel, and also to display a high quality image by performing a stable writing operation. SOLUTION: During an initialization period, an operation for generating initialization discharge at a discharge cell by applying a predetermined voltage generating discharge regardless of presence of previous discharge to a scanning electrode is set as a forced initialization operation. During a writing period, when time when a scanning pulse is applied to the scanning electrode and a writing pulse is applied to a data electrode is set as writing time, each discharge cell performs a forced initialization operation in one of a plurality of field. In each discharge cell, writing time during the writing period of a field where no forced initialization operation is performed is set longer than that during the writing period of a field where a forced initialization operation is performed.
