  • Patent number: 4499460
    Abstract: Operation of an AC plasma display panel requires the three control operations of write, erase, and sustain. Sustain, write and erase signals are stored in a plurality of sections in a storage device and the sections are selectively accessed according to the specific operation to be provided to the plasma panel display. Switching between the sections in the storage device is accomplished without signal discontinuity in the sustain, write, and erase signals used to drive the illuminable cells. The sustain operation is recycled during those periods when no write or erase operation is being done.
