  • Patent number: 6741227
    Abstract: A color image display apparatus which supplies red, green, and blue color video signals to respective red, green, and blue light emitting cells and performs color image display. Assuming that time response characteristics of light emission by red, green, and blue light emitting cells have respective values TR, TG, and TB, and |X| represents an absolute value of X, then |TR-TG|<|TR-TB| and |TR-TG|<|TG-TB| are satisfied. A front color fringe occurring at a front edge of a moving white rectangular pattern displayed on the color image display apparatus is blue and a rear color fringe occurring at a rear edge of the moving white rectangular pattern displayed on the color image display apparatus is yellow, thereby causing the front color fringe and the rear color fringe to be inconspicuous.

  • Patent number: 6151000
    Abstract: A display apparatus and display method are provided for a display panel having pixels arranged in a matrix form for displaying an image on a effective display area. Horizontal electrodes and vertical electrodes in the display panel are scanned for selectively illuminating said pixels by using a time sharing drive method in which one field period is divided into plural sub-fields weighted according to a sustaining period. As a result, an effective display area is divided into plural areas, no scanning for selecting a light emitting pixel is executed in a non-display area, and the number of sub-fields is increased in an area in which display in multiple gradations is required in a display area to obtain sufficient gradation. Instead of increasing the number of the sub-fields, the total sustaining period per one field is increased to obtain sufficient brightness.

  • Patent number: 5818168
    Abstract: A gas discharge display panel which provides sufficient contrast and good accuracy and is high in yield. When a voltage is applied to auxiliary discharge electrodes, auxiliary discharge occurs in an auxiliary discharge space and excited charged particles communicate with a main discharge space through a priming path made in a discharge space separation bulkhead. In this state, when an alternating voltage is applied between bus electrodes on a front substrate, main discharge occurs in the main discharge space, causing Xe atoms in the sealed gas to generate ultraviolet rays, causing a phosphor to emit light. However, since the auxiliary discharge is shielded by a bulkhead and a barrier rib, the phosphor does not emit light when only auxiliary discharge occurs.
