Fig. 9 and Figure 11 are the time relationship synoptic diagram of expression according to the driving of keeping discharge circuit of third and fourth embodiment of the present invention.Figure 10 A-10H is illustrated in the current path of keeping each pattern in the discharge circuit according to the third embodiment of the present invention.Figure 12 A-12H represents the current path according to each pattern of keeping discharge circuit of the 4th embodiment.
The discharge circuit of keeping according to the third embodiment of the present invention has the circuit identical with first embodiment.Before the operation of carrying out according to the third embodiment of the present invention, because on-off element S2 conducting and the Y electrode voltage Vy of panel capacitor Cp is set to-Vs.
Referring to Fig. 9 and Figure 10 A, in pattern 1 (M1), since on-off element S3 conducting under the state of on-off element S2 conducting, the current path of formation on-off element S3, diode D1, inductor L, on-off element S2 and power supply-Vs.Because utilize the electric current I of described current path by inductor L LIncrease linearly, thereby energy is accumulated among the inductor L.
In pattern 2 (M2), under the state of on-off element S3 conducting, on-off element S2 ends.When on-off element S2 ends, shown in Figure 10 B,, flow to the electric current I of power supply-Vs from inductor L because current path is cut off LFlow by panel capacitor Cp.Thereby, produce LC resonance by inductor L and panel capacitor Cp.Because at the energy that resonance current gathers in inductor, the Y electrode voltage Vy of panel capacitor Cp is increased to voltage Vs from voltage-Vs.
In mode 3 (M3), the Y electrode voltage Vy of panel capacitor Cp reaches Vs, the body diode conducting of on-off element S1.Thereby, shown in Figure 10 C, form on-off element S3, diode D1, inductor L, the body diode of on-off element S1 and the current path of power supply Vs.Flow to the electric current I of panel capacitor Cp from inductor L LBe recycled to power supply Vs, and be reduced to 0A linearly.
In addition, the Y electrode Vy of panel capacitor Cp is maintained voltage Vs by turn-on switch component S1.At this moment, because on-off element S1 is conducting under 0 the state at the voltage between drain electrode and the source electrode, so on-off element S1 can carry out zero voltage switching.Thereby, the actuating switch loss of on-off element S1 does not take place.In the 3rd embodiment, because utilize the energy accumulate among the inductor L, so, even when in keeping discharge circuit, having spurious portion, also can be increased to Vs to the Y electrode voltage.That is,, also can realize zero voltage switching even when in circuit, having spurious portion.
Shown in Figure 10 D, in pattern 4 (M4), on-off element S1 continues conducting.Thereby the Y electrode voltage Vy of panel capacitor Cp continues to maintain Vs, and when the electric current I L that flows through inductor L was reduced to 0A, on-off element S3 ended.
In pattern 5 (M5), on-off element S4 conducting under the state of on-off element S1 conducting.Thereby, shown in Figure 10 E, form the path on power supply Vs, on-off element S1, inductor L, diode D2, on-off element S4 and ground.Flow through the electric current I of inductor L LIncrease linearly in opposite direction.Thereby energy is accumulated among the inductor L.
In pattern 6 (M6), on-off element S1 ends.Thereby, shown in Figure 10 F, form LC resonance path from panel capacitor Cp to inductor L.Therefore, by at resonance current I LWith the energy that gathers among the inductor L, the Y electrode voltage Vy of panel capacitor Cp is reduced to-Vs from voltage Vs.
In mode 7 (M7), Y electrode voltage Vy reaches-Vs, the body diode conducting of on-off element S2.Thereby, shown in Figure 10 G, form the current path on body diode, inductor L, diode D2, on-off element S4 and the ground of on-off element S2.Therefore, flow through the electric current I of inductor L LReclaimed through ground, and be reduced to 0A linearly.
In addition, on-off element S2 conducting under the state of body diode conducting, thereby the Y electrode voltage Vy of panel capacitor Cp is maintained at-Vs.At this moment, because on-off element S2 is conducting under 0 the state at the voltage between drain electrode and the source electrode, that is, on-off element S2 carries out zero voltage switching, so the conduction loss of on-off element S2 does not take place.
Shown in Figure 10 H, in pattern 8 (M8), continue conducting by making on-off element S2, make Y electrode voltage Vy be continued to remain on-Vs, and when the electric current I that flows through inductor LWhen being reduced to 0A, on-off element S4 ends.
By repeat pattern 1-pattern 8, Y electrode that can the counter plate capacitor alternately provide Vs and-Vs.When be used to provide have with the Vs of the opposite polarity polarity of first embodiment and-during the keeping discharge circuit and be connected to other electrode (X electrode) and go up of Vs, the voltage that is added on the two ends of panel capacitor Cp becomes and is used to keep the required voltage 2Vs of discharge.Thereby, in plate, can keep discharge.
As mentioned above, in the third embodiment of the present invention, in pattern 1 in pattern 5, in order in inductor, to gather strength and consumed power.In mode 7, described energy is recovered at mode 3.Therefore, because in the ideal case, the power of consumption equals charge power, so the general power that consumes equals 0W.Thereby, can just can change voltage on the panel capacitor without consumed power.Because when the terminal voltage of panel capacitor changes, utilize the energy that in inductor, gathers, can realize zero voltage switching so in circuit, exist under the situation of spurious portion.
Below with reference to Figure 11 and 12A-12H explanation by to according to the second embodiment of the present invention keep discharge circuit additional one provide power supply Vs and-power supply unit 326 of Vs obtain keep discharge circuit.

Shown in Figure 12 D, in pattern 4 (M4), make the Y electrode voltage continue to maintain Vs by making on-off element S1 and on-off element S5 continue conducting.Flowing through the electric current I of inductor LBe reduced to after the 0A, on-off element S3 ends.
In pattern 5 (M5), on-off element S4 is on-off element S4 conducting under the state of on-off element S1 and S5 conducting.Thereby, shown in Figure 12 E, form the path on power supply Vs, on-off element S5 and S1, inductor L, diode D2, on-off element S4 and ground.Along the electric current I of passing through inductor L in the other direction LIncrease linearly.Thereby energy is accumulated among the inductor L.
In pattern 6 (M6), on-off element S1 and S5 end under the state of on-off element S4 conducting.By resonance current and the energy that gathers in inductor L, the Y electrode voltage Vy of panel capacitor Cp is reduced to-Vs by voltage Vs, shown in Figure 12 F, as described in the pattern 6 of the 3rd embodiment.

Because on-off element S2 and S6 conducting under the state of body diode conducting, Y electrode voltage Vy is maintained at-Vs.Because on-off element S2 and S6 carry out zero voltage switching, described in the 3rd embodiment, so do not produce the actuating switch loss.
In pattern 8 (M8), shown in Figure 12 H, when the electric current I that flows through inductor LWhen being reduced to 0A, making on-off element S2 and S6 conducting and on-off element S4 is ended by continuing, make Y electrode voltage Vy continue to maintain-Vs.
As mentioned above, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, in pattern 1 and pattern 5, in order in inductor, to gather strength and consumed power.But, in mode 3 and mode 7, described power is to power supply Vs and capacitor Cs charging.Therefore, because described in the ideal case consumed power equals charge power, the power of total consumption equals 0W.Thereby consumed power does not change the voltage on the panel capacitor.
In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, can utilize on-off element S7 to replace diode Ds.In this case, on-off element S7 conducting when on-off element S5 conducting, thus capacitor Cs is charged to voltage Vs continuously.
