Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce variation in brightness among discharge cells by synchronizing timing of occurrences of discharge among discharge cells with one another and to improve the display quality of an image by improving efficiency by reducing the power not contributing to discharge. SOLUTION: A plasma display device includes a sustain pulse generation circuit which generates a sustain pulse to a plurality of scan electrodes and sustain electrodes. The sustain pulse generation circuit generates at least three kinds of sustain pulses of a first sustain pulse having a reference gradient, a second sustain pulse rising more rapidly than the first sustain pulse, and a third sustain pulse rising more slowly than the first sustain pulse, by switching. In at least a part of a sustain period of a one-field period, the second sustain pulse is applied after application of the third sustain pulse. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

SOLUTION: This driving method is provided with: a plasma display panel provided with a plurality of discharge cells having a display electrode pair; a sustain pulse generating circuit having a power recovery circuit for resonating an inter-electrode capacitance and inductance of the display electrode pair to cause a rise or fall of the sustain pulse, and a clamp circuit for clamping a voltage of the sustain pulse in a prescribed voltage, and for generating the sustain pulses of the frequency of brightness weight, to be applied to each of the display electrode pair in a maintenance period of a plurality of subfields provided in one field period; and a panel temperature determination part for detecting a temperature state of the plasma display panel. The sustain pulse generating circuit makes a rise period of the sustain pulse shorter than when an ambient temperature or a low temperature is determined, when the panel temperature determination part decides a high temperature.
