Abstract: An image signal processing device receives image signals from source devices and outputs image signals via a plurality of communication paths. The image signal processing device includes a plurality of compression circuits, a transmission circuit and a path/compression-rate setting circuit. The plurality of compression circuits compress image signals to be transmitted via the plurality of communication paths. The transmission circuit outputs the image signals compressed. The path/compression-rate setting circuit, based on each data amount of the image signals received, determines a communication path for transmitting a part or the whole of each of the image signal, and sets a common compression rate for all of the plurality of compression circuits. The path/compression-rate setting circuit divides an image signal having a relatively large data amount, and assigns a part of the divided image signal to a communication path for transmitting an image signal having a relatively small data amount.

Abstract: When a gas discharge panel is driven, a voltage is applied between scan and address electrode groups to perform set-up. The voltage waveform has four intervals. In a first interval, the voltage is raised in a short time (less than 10 ?s) to a first voltage, wherein 100 V?first voltage<starting voltage. Then, in a second interval, the voltage is raised to a second voltage no less than the starting voltage and with an absolute gradient smaller than that for the voltage rise in the first interval (no more than 9 V/?s). Next, in a third interval, the voltage is lowered in a short time (no more than 10 ?s) from the second voltage to a third voltage no more than the starting voltage. Following this, in a fourth interval, the voltage is lowered still further (for 100 ?s to 250 ?s) with a gradient smaller than that for the voltage fall in the third interval. The time occupied by the whole voltage waveform should be no more, than 360 ?s.

Following this, in a fourth interval, the voltage is lowered still further (for 100 &mgr;s to 250 &mgr;s) with a gradient smaller than that for the voltage fall in the third interval.
