Abstract:
Provided is a plasma display panel driving method by which display qualities of an image is improved by estimating the highest possible temperature and the lowest possible temperature of a panel based on a temperature detected by a temperature sensor and by performing suitable drive. A plasma display device is also provided. The method has at least three drive modes having different sub-field configurations, i.e., low temperature drive mode, room temperature drive mode and high temperature drive mode. The highest possible temperature and the lowest possible temperature of the panel are estimated from the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, the panel temperature status is judged from the highest possible temperature or the lowest possible temperature, and the panel is driven by switching the mode to a suitable drive mode, corresponding to the temperature status of the panel.
Abstract:
A stable address discharge is caused by preventing an increase in the necessary scan pulse voltage (amplitude), and thereby achieves high image display quality. For this purpose, the image display area of a plasma display panel is divided into a plurality of regions, and a partial light-emitting rate is detected in each region. The partial light-emitting rate in a current subfield is set as a first partial light-emitting rate. The partial light-emitting rate used for magnitude comparison between the partial light-emitting rates in a subfield identical with the current subfield in a field immediately preceding the field to which the current subfield belongs to is set as a second partial light-emitting rate. The absolute value of the difference between the first partial light-emitting rate and the second partial light-emitting rate is calculated in each region. In the region where the value is equal to or larger than a light-emitting rate threshold value, the first partial light-emitting rate is used for the magnitude comparison between the partial light-emitting rates in the current subfield. In the region where the value is smaller than the light-emitting rate threshold value, the second partial light-emitting rate is used for the magnitude comparison between the partial light-emitting rates in the current subfield.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable even a plasma display panel, whose use time is long, to perform a stable image display without causing non-illumination. SOLUTION: Disclosed is the driving method of a panel which makes a discharge cell emit light by applying sustain pulses to a display electrode pair comprising a scan electrode and a sustain electrode alternately in each of sustain periods of a plurality of sub-fields constituting one field, the sustain pulses including a first sustain pulse whose rise time is long, a second sustain pulse whose rise time is short, and a third sustain pulse whose rise time is shorter than the rise time of the first sustain pulse and longer than the rise time of the second sustain pulse. The second or third sustain pulse is applied right after the first sustain pulse, and the third or first sustain pulse is applied right after the third sustain pulse. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display an image in which black luminance is suppressed and contrast is improved more, while generating stable write-in discharge without increasing drive voltage largely even on an a large screen panel. SOLUTION: There is provided a drive method of a panel including a plurality of discharge cells each having a scan electrode, a sustaining electrode and a data electrode. In the method, one field is constituted by using a plurality of sub-fields performing initialization operation causing a discharge cell to generate initialization discharge, write-in operation causing the discharge cell to generate write-in discharge, and sustaining operation causing the discharge cell to generate sustaining discharge; in at least one of the sub-fields, initialization operation is performed by applying down slope waveform voltage to at least one of the scan electrodes by being divided to a plurality of times, while the slope of down slope waveform voltage applied after temporally is set more gently than a slope of down slope waveform voltage applied before temporally.

SOLUTION: A plasma display apparatus includes an all-cell lighting rate detection circuit for detecting the rate of discharge cells to be turned on to all discharge cells in a display area of a plasma display panel as an all-cell lighting rate in each sub-field and a partial lighting rate detection circuit for detecting the rate of discharge cells to be turned on to discharge cells in each area as a partial lighting rate in each area and in each sub-field, by dividing the display area of the plasma display panel into a plurality of areas.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the length of a write period with image degradation suppressed, even in the case of a plasma display panel with a large number of scan electrodes. SOLUTION: A plurality of sub-fields each of which has a write period when a scan pulse is applied to scan electrodes and a write pulse is applied to data electrodes to perform a write operation by discharge cells and a sustain period when the number of sustain pulses based on a brightness weight are applied to scan electrodes and sustain electrodes alternately to cause discharge cells to emit light are arranged to constitute one field period. In the write period, a normal write operation of applying the scan pulse to scan electrodes one by one or a simultaneous write operation of simultaneously applying the scan pulse to every two scan electrodes is performed. The write operation in a sub-field is set to the normal write operation or the simultaneous write operation on the basis of a temperature detected by a temperature sensor disposed in a device and a brightness weight.
