Two, background technology
Plasmia indicating panel (Plasma Display Pane: following being called ' PDP ') produces the display device of the phenomenon of visible light when being the ultraviolet ray excited fluorophor that utilizes that gas discharge produces.PDP compares with cathode ray tube (CRT), has thinner thickness and weight is lighter, the advantage of large-scale picture that can high resolution displayed.General PDP is made up of a plurality of discharge cells (cell) of arranging with matrix (matrix) form, and a discharge cell (cell) is equivalent to a sub-pixel (sub-pixel) of picture.
Fig. 1 is in the prior art, the STRUCTURE DECOMPOSITION synoptic diagram of 3 electrode AC creeping discharge type Plasmia indicating panels.With reference to figure 1, each discharge cell (cell) possesses the scan electrode (Y) that forms on the upper substrate 1 and keeps electrode (Z), the keeper electrode (X) that forms on the lower basal plate 9.Scan electrode (Y) with keep electrode (Z) and generally form by transparent indium tin oxide (Indium-Tin-Oxide: following being called ' ITO '), the voltage that causes for the high-ohmic that reduces above-mentioned substance descends, form respectively above it by Ag, Cu, the bus electrode 3 of at least a formation in the metals such as Cr.
Form scan electrode (Y) side by side and keep that accumulation forms upper dielectric layer 4 and diaphragm 5 on the upper substrate 1 of electrode (Z).The damage of the upper dielectric layer 4 that the physical sputtering that diaphragm 5 takes place when preventing plasma discharge causes simultaneously, in order to improve the release efficiency of 2 electronics, is generally formed by magnesium oxide (MgO).
Form lower dielectric layer 8 and interlayer 6 on the lower basal plate 9 of formation keeper electrode (X), lower dielectric layer 8 and interlayer 6 surface spraying fluorophor 7.Keeper electrode (X) and scan electrode (Y) and keep electrode (Z) and be vertically formed, interlayer 6 forms abreast with keeper electrode (X), and the ultraviolet ray and the visible light of generation leak in the adjacent discharge cell (cell) when preventing to discharge.It is ultraviolet ray excited that fluorophor 7 produces during by plasma discharge, produces red (R), any one visible rays in green (G) or blue (B).Ne+Xe and a spot of inert gas of gas discharge carried out in inclosure in the discharge space that is formed by upper substrate 1 and lower basal plate 9 and interlayer 6.
PDP with said structure is by the relative discharge between keeper electrode (X) and scan electrode (Y) and after selecting discharge cell (cell), by scan electrode (Y) and keep the surface-discharge between electrode (Z) and keep the discharge condition of above-mentioned selected discharge cell (cell).In this discharge cell (cell), owing to keep the ultraviolet ray that produces when discharging, make fluorophor 7 luminous, visible light is to the outside release of cell (cell).Its result, discharge cell (cell) is adjusted the time that discharge is kept, and shows GTG, and the PDP that its discharge cell (cell) is arranged with matrix (matrix) form is with display image.
Fig. 2 a is in the prior art, an example schematic of the drive waveforms of PDP driving method.
With reference to figure 2a, during the rising edge of reseting period (SU), provide roughly from keeping the rising ramp waveform (Ramp-up) that voltage (Vs) rises to rising edge voltage (Vsetup) to all scan electrodes (Y) simultaneously.Meanwhile, provide base voltage (GND) to keeping electrode (Z) with keeper electrode (X).Because above-mentioned rising ramp waveform (Ramp-up), in the discharge cell (cell) of whole image, scan electrode (Y) and keep electrode (Z) and keeper electrode (X) between faint discharge will take place, it is the rising edge discharge, because above-mentioned rising edge discharge, keeper electrode (X) will be gathered positive polarity wall electric charge with keeping on the electrode (Z), will gather negative polarity wall electric charge on the scan electrode (Y).
During the negative edge of reseting period (SD), provide roughly to scan electrode (Y) to begin to drop to base voltage or negative polarity negative edge voltage (decline ramp waveform (Ramp-down) Vsetdown) from keeping voltage (Vs).Provide during the decline ramp waveform (Ramp-down), provide positive polarity DC voltage (Vdc) (generally have and keep the identical value of pulse voltage (Vs)), provide base voltage (GND) to keeper electrode (X) to keeping electrode (Z).Because decline ramp waveform (Ramp-down), scan electrode (Y) with keep electrode (Z) and keeper electrode (X) between faint discharge will take place, promptly negative edge discharges.Because above-mentioned negative edge discharge, in the wall electric charge that forms when rising edge discharges, too much wall electric charge unnecessary during orientation discharge will be eliminated.
During the location, at first provide scan reference voltage (Vsc) to scan electrode (Y), then, generally the order with row (line) provides base voltage or negative polarity scan pulse voltage (Vy) to scan electrode (Y) successively, simultaneously, add above-mentioned scan pulse voltage and (Vy) synchronously, provide positive polarity position pulse voltage (Va) with negative to keeper electrode (X).Scan pulse voltage (Vy) with the potential difference (PD) of position pulse voltage (Va), the wall voltage addition that produces with reseting period, thus orientation discharge will take place in the negative cell (cell) that adds position pulse voltage (Va).Because orientation discharge and in the selected cell (cell), will form a certain amount of wall electric charge, it is provided when keeping pulse voltage (Vs) keeping interdischarge interval, can discharge.During the above-mentioned location, continuing provides positive polarity DC voltage (Vdc) to keeping electrode (Z).Illustrate negative edge voltage in the above-mentioned accompanying drawing and (Vsetdown) (Vy) have identical value situation with scan pulse voltage, but in the case, for all discharge cells (cell), the evenly residual removing work of wall electric charge of the required upper substrate of orientation discharge may difficultly be realized, therefore, above-mentioned negative edge voltage (Vsetdown) according to circumstances, can have and the scan pulse voltage (Vy) voltage of different value.
During keeping, to scan electrode (Y) with keep electrode (Z) alternately negative adding and keep pulse voltage (Sus).By the selected cell of orientation discharge (cell) and since the wall voltage in the cell (cell) with keep pulse (Vs) addition, negative when adding each and keeping pulse, scan electrode (Y) with keep between electrode (Z) and all keep discharge, that is, indicate and discharge.
After keeping the discharge end, during can continuing to remove.Removing ramp waveform (Ramp-ers) voltage that reset pulse amplitude and voltage level are low during the removing for example, offers and keeps electrode (Z), thereby removes the interior residual wall electric charge of cell (cell) of whole image.
The power supply that Fig. 2 b provides the various voltages of the drive waveforms shown in Fig. 2 a provides the overall schematic of unit.(Vsetdown) (power supply during Vy) for base voltage provides the unit with scan pulse voltage to illustrate negative edge voltage among Fig. 2 b, keep pulse voltage (Vs), rising edge voltage (Vsetup), position pulse voltage (Va), a plurality of galvanic currents such as scan reference voltage (Vsc) are pressed, utilize AC/DC converter 21 and a plurality of DC/ DC converters 22,23,24,25, offer each drive unit.Again, power supply of the prior art provides the unit, by other DC/DC converter 26, to be used to drive standby (stand by) voltage of transistorized FET door (gate) driving voltage in the loop of PDP logical block (logic block) or PDP drive unit etc., 5V, voltages such as 15V offer PDP.
