1, technical matters purpose of the present invention just provides a kind of memory driving method that can realize the plasma display panel of high resolving power, high visible light transmissivity, high luminosity, high-contrast and low-work voltage.
2, the memory driving method of a kind of plasma display panel of technical scheme this method, this method comprises the 1st and the 2nd substrate is set, and configuration has the Intermediate substrate electrode of metal grid mesh betwixt, a plurality of scan electrodes and data electrode, above-mentioned scan electrode and above-mentioned data electrode are met at right angles, isolate by dielectric layer between wire netting and above-mentioned scan electrode and the data electrode, the mesh of the local corresponding above-mentioned metal grid mesh electrode of substrate that intersects at above-mentioned scan electrode and above-mentioned data electrode, the mesh inwall scribbles fluorescent powder, the scan electrode that mesh on the metal grid mesh substrate is corresponding with it and data electrode constitute discharge cell, and each unit adds that voltage signal makes cell discharge or do not discharge.When it is characterized in that on the dielectric layer between scan electrode and data electrode no wall electric charge, between scan electrode and data electrode, add the igniting pulse and make the discharge cell discharge, discharge makes on the dielectric layer accumulation wall electric charge, adds to keep voltage signal discharge is kept on discharge cell; When a picture finishes, on scan electrode, add erasing pulse so that the wall electric charge is eliminated, under the situation that does not have the wall electric charge, to keep signal discharge is kept, discharge stops; For storing the discharge drive pattern, the control of its gray scale and light and shade is that a frame picture segmentation is become a plurality of sons field, and each son field is the discharge time of picture or keep umber of pulse as after different, is realized the control of gray scale by the combination of different sons field.Adding the ignition signal that can make cell discharge on the data electrode He on the scan electrode, also accumulation wall electric charge on the dielectric layer on scan electrode surface takes place in discharge, makes discharge keep discharge by the added pulse signal of keeping, and keeps pulse and stops discharge and stop; When the next son field begins, on scan electrode, add erasing pulse to eliminate the wall electric charge, make only discharge again under the effect of firing pulse of discharge.
Keep pulse signal and can be added between scan electrode and the metal grid mesh, also can be added between scan electrode and the data electrode, but be not added between data electrode and the metal grid mesh.Discharge cell is added when keeping voltage signal and not lighting a fire in the unit, do not make the unit igniting, keeps discharge after lighting a fire in the unit; When being added with write signal on data electrode and the scan electrode, in the unit, discharge, discharge takes place between scan electrode and data electrode and keeps by keeping voltage signal, when wanting erasure discharge, adds erase signal counteracting wall electric charge on scan electrode discharge is no longer carried out.Gray-scale Control is that a frame picture is divided into a plurality of sons field, each son interior write signal of using is lighted a fire once, come the number of times of gated sweep discharge by controlling the number of keeping discharge pulse in each son field, the certain fixing gray shade scale of number of times representative of discharge in each son field, the gray shade scale in the gray shade scale that single sub-place is represented not, by light display board respectively in several height field, i.e. combination by the son field obtains, and realizes the control of gray scale thus; Gray shade scale in the gray shade scale that single sub-place is represented by lighting display board in the son field that is chosen in corresponding discharge pulse number, realizes the control of gray scale.By the number of times series arrangement from low to high of discharge in the son, the umber of pulse in back is the twice of umber of pulse in the last son, and umber of pulse can be one in the smallest sub-fields, also can be a plurality of.In Plasma Display, because the existence of dielectric layer is arranged on the sparking electrode, during the discharge cell discharge, charged ion will and accumulate on dielectric layer to the respective electrode motion, form the wall electric charge.When the wall electric charge reaches a certain amount of, discharge will be stopped, the wall electric charge keeps on dielectric layer, therefore has storage effect.If apply on the electrode with on the opposite polarity voltage signal of keeping that once discharges, discharge takes place in the current potential that the wall electric charge forms and keep the voltage signal stack again.The application has utilized the storage effect of plasma display panel, so the called after memory driving method.
3, technique effect the invention has the advantages that using this method to drive display screen has the advantage of high resolving power, high visible light transmissivity, high luminosity, high-contrast and low-work voltage, is particularly useful for the plasma display panel of giant-screen.

Five, embodiment
Storage discharge drive pattern is suitable for the driving of large screen plasma body display board, and the driving that is suitable for TV and display is used.Under this kind drive pattern, need three kinds of signals: erase signal point, ignition signal and keep signal.Once select to show delegation.
The storing driver pattern is different from turntable driving and alternating current-direct current drive pattern, do not have erase signal under the scan pattern and keep signal, under the alternating current-direct current drive pattern, be direct-current discharge between data electrode and the metal grid mesh, promptly do not isolated fully between data electrode and the metal grid mesh by medium.And under the storing driver pattern, isolated fully by dielectric layer between data electrode and the metal grid mesh.
Under memory module, when delegation is selected,, then at first uses erase signal and wipe wall electric charge on the dielectric layer if accumulation has the wall electric charge on the dielectric layer.
After data electrode had ignition signal, discharge occurred in the unit of being chosen, and accumulated the wall electric charge on dielectric layer.Owing to there is a wall electric charge, what be added with on the unit keeps the carrying out that pulse signal will guarantee discharge, keeps pulse and can be that each row adds simultaneously after all provisional capitals scannings one time, also can be that each row is gone to each after igniting and added respectively.
After all provisional capitals scanning one time, son finishes, restart the igniting of a sub-field duration before, use the wall charging neutrality that erase signal will be accumulated on the scan electrode surface media and fall relight and maintenance process.
Under this kind drive pattern, when scan electrode and metal grid mesh equipotential, added voltage amplitude should guarantee that between does not discharge between data electrode and the metal grid mesh.
For the storing driver pattern, the control of its gray scale and light and shade is that a frame picture segmentation becomes a plurality of son, each son the discharge time of picture as after different, by the control of the combination realization gray scale of different sons.The group field is during by from low to high the series arrangement of umber of pulse in the son, the umber of pulse that is comprised in first sub can be 1, also can be a plurality of, be generally 1~100, be preferably 2, the umber of pulse in second son is the twice of umber of pulse in first son, by that analogy, umber of pulse is the twice of the umber of pulse in the last height field in son field, back, finishes up to all son fields.The corresponding gray shade scale in each height field, other gray shade scale images outside a single son corresponding gray shade scale show, can display board be lighted by apply data pulse signal respectively in a plurality of sons field, i.e. combination by the son field realizes this gray shade scale.The number of son field can have 1 son field according to the requirement of gray shade scale, also can have a plurality of sub, is generally 1~10 sub, for the demonstration of 256 grades of gray scales, is 8 sub-fields, and the order of son field combination can change.
All timing waveforms in the present embodiment can be realized by using programmable logic device (PLD), as using the CPLD device of altera corp.The low-voltage signal that programmable logic device (PLD) produces is used to control high-tension circuit or the high pressure integrated chip produces the high pressure timing waveform that is used to drive the novel plasma demonstration.
