Abstract: A plasma display panel has a high open ratio. In the plasma display panel, the ribs are perpendicular to the address electrodes. In addition, a plurality of gaps or indentations are disposed on the transparent electrodes for reducing the influence of crosstalk. Further, by changing the number of address electrodes in the plasma display panel, the driving method can be simplified and the cost of the plasma display panel can be reduced. According to the invention, the plasma display panel can achieve a high open ratio, resulting in an improvement of the brightness.

Abstract: A driving method during the reset period of a plasma display, which includes a display panel with a plurality of display units for sealing the inert gas. Each display unit forms an equivalent capacitor and includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a driving circuit that exerts voltage pulses to the display units to form wall charges on the surfaces of the two electrodes or to reduce the wall charges that have been formed. The method involves applying a first soft erase pulse on the first electrodes of the plurality of display units to reduce the wall charges of the plurality of the display units followed by applying a soft priming pulse on the second electrodes of the plurality of display units to re-generate the wall charges of the plurality of display units.

Abstract: A method for driving an alternating current plasma display panel (AC PDP) during a reset period is disclosed. Firstly, a first erase pulse, being positive in polarity and increasing in magnitude with time, is applied to a first electrode so as to remove wall charges from the pixel units. Then, a first priming pulse of negative polarity and a second priming pulse of positive polarity increases in magnitude with time and are respectively applied to the first electrode and a second electrode so as to produce the wall charges in the pixel units. Finally, a second erase pulse, being positive in polarity and increasing in magnitude with time, is applied to the first electrode so as to remove the redundant wall charges.

Abstract: A method of driving a plasma display panel to improve display brightness and luminescent efficiency. In the sustain periods, the same driving signal is sent to the sustain electrode X as well as the address electrode Ai at the same time to achieve the desired volume discharge effect. In addition, the structure of PDPs is modified to raise firing voltages between these electrodes, preventing erasure of the data written in the address periods.

Abstract: A plasma display panel (PDP) has a front and a back substrate mounted together, with a gap between them. Barrier ribs are positioned within this space of this gap, and they define a series of discharge space groups. Each discharge space group has a first, second and third discharge space for red, green and blue emitting phosphors. Within these discharge spaces are traverse ribs. The lengths of these traverse ribs are adjusted to change the relative proportions of phosphor surface areas, and thus adjust the color temperature of the PDP.
