  • Publication number: 20080191970
    Abstract: A method of driving a plasma display apparatus is disclosed. In the method, a first reset pulse including a rising pulse and a falling pulse is applied to a scan electrode during a reset period of a first subfield of a plurality of subfields. A second reset pulse including a rising pulse and a falling pulse is applied to the scan electrode during a reset period of a turn-on subfield next to a turn-off subfield in the remaining subfields except the first subfield. A third reset pulse including a falling pulse is applied to the scan electrode during a reset period of another subfield except the subfields during which the first reset pulse and the second reset pulse are applied.

  • Patent number: 7291978
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a plasma display panel and method for manufacturing the same wherein the quality of an image can be improved by preventing an erroneous discharge. A plasma display panel having a number of discharge cells according to an embodiment of the present invention includes barrier ribs by which a discharge space is defined between an upper substrate and a lower substrate; and an oxide film of a low dielectric constant formed on each of the barrier ribs. A method for manufacturing a plasma display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: forming barrier ribs on a lower substrate so that a discharge space is defined by the barrier ribs between an upper substrate and a lower substrate; and forming an oxide film of a low dielectric constant on each of the barrier ribs.

  • Publication number: 20060077130
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof, and more particularly, to a plasma display apparatus that generates a sustain pulse, and driving method thereof. The present invention controls a rising time of a sustain pulse applied to electrodes according to a load of a video signal, such as an APL value, a display area or the number of a sustain pulse. The plasma display apparatus and the driving method of the present invention controls a rising time of a sustain pulse according to a load. Therefore, a bright afterimage can be prohibited and the picture quality can be improved.

  • Patent number: 6975286
    Abstract: A method for aging process in a PDP which is able to determine an ending time of the aging process comprises the steps of: starting the aging process by supplying source voltage to the PDP; and defining the aging ending time through change of current waveform by monitoring the change of current waveform applied to the panel, and thereby problems such that discharge characteristics of the panel become unstable due to the lack of aging time and phosphor is deteriorated and processing tack-time is reduced due to over-aging can be solved.
