Abstract: The present invention provides a gray level display AC-type PDP driving method comprising (a) dividing a single image frame into n number of subframes, each of the subframes having predetermined number of sustaining pulses; (b) selecting scan electrodes whose number is identical to the number of said subframes, assigning specific subframes to said selected scan electrodes, sequentially providing scanning pulses having different phases on said selected scan electrodes and applying addressing pulses on said data electrodes in order to designate pixels to be displayed, and alternately supplying the predetermined number of sustaining pulses onto the selected scan electrodes and said data electrodes, to thereby display said assigned subframes for said selected display lines; (c) shifting by one or more than scan electrode(s) from each of said selected scan electrodes; and (d) repeating said shifting of step (c) and displaying of said assigned subframes until each of said divided subframes is displayed for all the

Abstract: AC Plasma Display Panel with a reverse surface discharge with each display element comprises at least, one display discharge gap formed by the address and common electrodes, and the control and address display electrodes wherein the number of the display is n≧3, and geometric parameters of all above gaps and gas filling is determined from conditions of the reverse surface discharge.

Abstract: An alternating current plasma display panel with a surface discharge. The panel comprises in each pixel three parallel electrodes, one of the three parallel electrodes being an address electrode, and drive electrodes being perpendicular to them, the three parallel electrodes, the three parallel electrodes, and the drive electrode being separated by dielectric barrier ribs, geometric parameters of electrodes, discharge gaps and gas filling being determined from conditions needed for execution of a surface discharge by sustaining voltage pulses in a pixel between two extreme parallel electrodes with the address electrode arranged between them. When the discharge gap length is increased in the luminescence area, power does not increase but brightness is improved. The ratio of brightness of new/standard and the ratio of power new/standard becomes 1.1-2.3 times better.
