  • Suppression of vertical crosstalk in a plasma display panel
    Patent number: 7268749
    Abstract: A method for controlling electrodes in a plasma display panel (815), includes applying a voltage Ve to a sustain electrode during a setting up of the sustain electrode (710) for an addressing operation, where Ve2<Ve. Another method includes a) applying Ve2 to the sustain electrode during the addressing, where the sustain electrode is associated with a scan electrode (714) in an electrode pair, and b) applying a voltage Vs1 to the scan electrode during a discharging of the electrode pair after the addressing, where Ve2<Vs1.
