Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for controlling aging and/or extending lifespan. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition containing dapsone as an effective component for controlling aging and/or extending lifespan, in which when applying the composition according to the present invention to an object, the effect of controlling aging or extending lifespan is excellent. Specifically, the treatment of dapsone (DDS) increases the lifespan of C. elegans not depending upon daf-16 and delays aging process, and reduces the activity of cytoplasmic dual oxidase 1 (Duox1) and mitochondria complex V protein. In addition, dapsone can maintain the low oxygen uptake rate in C. elegans thereby reducing ROS formation. In addition, ROS production by paraquat that is an inducing material of oxidative stress is reduced by treating dapsone and the sensitivity of paraquat is reduced.

Abstract: In a plasma display and a method of driving a plasma display, a discharge is generated in a sustain period since a first voltage is supplied to a scan electrode and a second voltage lower than the first voltage is supplied to a sustain electrode. Accordingly, a discharge current flows since wall charges are formed on the scan and sustain electrodes as a result of the discharge. When the discharge current flows, a third voltage lower than the first voltage and higher than the second voltage is supplied to the sustain electrode while the first voltage is supplied to the scan electrode. In addition, when another discharge current flows since a sustain discharge is generated by supplying the first voltage to the sustain electrode and suypplying the second voltage to the scan electrode, the third voltage is supplied to the scan electrode while the first voltage is supplied to the sustain electrode.

A first electrode and second electrode extend along a second direction intersecting the first direction in the space between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to correspond to each of the plurality of discharge cells. The first electrode and the second electrode expand from the first substrate to the second substrate and face each other with an interval therebetween.

Abstract: In a plasma display device and driving method thereof, middle electrodes are formed between X electrodes for receiving a sustain pulse voltage and Y electrodes. A reset waveform and a scan pulse voltage are applied to the middle electrodes. A short-gap discharge is performed between the X electrode and the middle electrode in the earlier stage of a sustain discharge period, and a long-gap discharge is normally performed between the X electrode and the Y electrode after the earlier stage of the sustain discharge period, thereby performing stable discharge. Further, the number of switches of the M electrode driver may be reduced by floating the M electrode and applying a rising ramp waveform to the Y electrode in the reset period, thereby increasing the voltage at the M electrode.
