Abstract: There is provided an address-while-display driving method for a surface discharge type triode plasma display panel, which includes sequentially performing resetting and addressing on each XY-electrode line pair while alternately and consecutively applying display voltages to all XY-electrode line pairs of the panel. The panel includes a front substrate and a rear substrate that are separately formed to face each other, X- and Y-electrode lines that are alternately arranged in parallel between the front and rear substrates to form the XY-electrode line pairs, and address electrode lines that are formed in perpendicular to the X- and Y-electrode lines. The address-while-display driving method includes lowering the display voltages during an addressing time for each XY-electrode line pair.

Abstract: A resetting method includes a line discharge step, an erasure step, and an iteration step. The line discharge step is performed during a part of a first pulse width period. During the first pulse width period since a second subfield corresponding to a first XY-electrode line pair starts after a first subfield corresponding to the first XY-electrode line pair ends, a negative voltage of a first level is applied to all X-electrode lines, and simultaneously, a positive voltage of the first level is applied to all Y-electrode lines. In the line discharge step, a negative voltage of a second level higher than the first level is applied to an X-electrode line of the first XY-electrode line pair, and simultaneously, a positive voltage of a third level higher than the first level is applied to a Y-electrode line of the first XY-electrode line pair, thereby provoking discharges in all discharge cells corresponding to the first XY-electrode line pair.

Abstract: A plasma display panel sustain-discharge circuit. First and second signal lines for supplying first and second voltages and at least one inductor coupled between one end of the panel capacitor and a third voltage are formed. Energy is stored in the inductor through a path formed between the third voltage and the first signal line in a state where a voltage of one end of the panel capacitor is substantially fixed to the first voltage. The voltage of one end of the panel capacitor substantially decreases to the second voltage using resonance current generated between the inductor and the panel capacitor and the stored energy. Energy is stored in the inductor through a path formed between the third voltage and the second line in a state where a voltage of one end of the panel capacitor is substantially fixed to the second voltage.

Abstract: A method of driving a plasma display panel, where the plasma display panel has opposing front and rear substrates which are spaced facing each other, X and Y electrode lines which are formed in parallel between the front and rear substrates, and address electrode lines formed to be perpendicular to the X and Y electrode lines so that discharge cells are defined by the crossing X and Y electrode lines and the address electrode lines. The method includes periodically applying display pulses to all the X and Y electrode lines, initializing the discharge conditions of a previous sub-field, and forming wall charges at discharge cells to be displayed in a current sub-field are sequentially performed while the display pulses are not applied. A bias pulse having the same polarity as and a lower voltage than the display pulses is applied to all the address electrode lines while the display pulses are applied.
