Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a dither table memory device, a dithering processor, and a display panel driver. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels. Dither tables are stored in the dither table memory device. The dithering processor selects a target dither table corresponding to a grayscale level of input data from among the plurality of dither tables and performs a dithering operation on the input data using the target dither table to generate dither data. The display panel driver drives the display panel based on the generated dither data.

Abstract: A display device includes a controller and a display panel. The controller receives original image data and output a display image signal. The display panel receives the display image signal and displays a display image corresponding to the display image signal. The controller includes an image shift controller and a memory. The image shift controller generates shifted image data by modulating the original image data to shift the display image sequentially along a preset shift path on the display panel. The memory stores a shift path value indicating a distance by which the display image has been shifted on the preset shift path. The image shift controller generates the display image signal by processing the shifted image data. When the display device is powered on, the image shift controller generates shifted image data corresponding to a shift path value stored in the memory.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to automatically control power of address data in a PDP includes a plurality of address electrodes, a plurality of scan electrodes, and a plurality of sustain electrodes arranged in pairs with the scan electrodes, and a PDP including the apparatus. The sum of pixel value differences between adjacent ones of successive lines in input image data is calculated, and an address power control (APC) level corresponding to the calculated line pixel value difference sum is determined. The image data is then repeatedly multiplied by a gain initially corresponding to the start gain and sequentially decremented by a predetermined value from the start gain upon every multiplication until the gain corresponds to the end gain, to output corrected address data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing flicker when displaying pictures on a plasma display panel, based on an input phase alternation line (PAL) video signal of 50 Hz. Video signal data include successive first and second sub-field groups. When the number of sub-fields in the first sub-field group is more than that of sub-fields in the second sub-field group, the start or end points of the first and second sub-field groups are fixed, based on whether the video signal has a load ratio higher than a threshold value. When the number of sub-fields in the first sub-field group is less than that of sub-fields in the second sub-field group, the start or end points of the first and second sub-field groups are fixed, based on whether the video signal has a load ratio higher than a threshold value.
