Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a plasma display.
  • each pixel of the display is assigned a plurality of phosphor cells, each of which has different phosphor layers.
  • a control electronics is present, which generates in each case a drive voltage for the electronics of the phosphor cells, wherein the one pixel associated drive voltages for the electrodes of the phosphor sites to compensate for different response times of the different phosphors of the phosphor cells are delayed relative to each other.
  • EP-A-0924684 a further control option for a plasma display is disclosed. In this case, however, no temporal relative delays in the initiation of the phosphor cells are made. From this it is only known that the different phosphor cells with different phosphors have different response and Abmony practitioner.
  • each pixel is assigned a red, a green, and a blue phosphor layer, each of which is part of a phosphor cell.
  • a drive voltage can be applied to the electrodes of each cell, by which the respective cell can be initialized to bring the respective phosphor layer to light up.
  • the invention has the object to show a way how the quality of the signals displayed on a plasma display can be improved.
  • the advantages of the invention are in particular that relative by the claimed time delay of the drive voltages for the different colored phosphor layers of the plasma display each other whose different response times are compensated. This leads to a clearly visible narrowing of the color fringes occurring in moving images and thus to a significant improvement in the quality of the image signals displayed on the plasma display.
  • FIG. 1 Fig. 9 is a timing chart illustrating the color fringes of moving pictures occurring in the prior art.
  • FIG. 1 For example, a video input signal representing a black and white jump is shown. From the three diagrams drawn below the black-and-white jump, the response of the red, green and blue phosphor can be seen.
  • the blue phosphor has the shortest response time and also the steepest rising edge.
  • the red phosphor has a longer response time than the blue phosphor and also has a longer rising edge.
  • the green phosphor has the largest response time as well as the longest leading edge.
  • the blue phosphor is the most responsive and has the shortest fall time.
  • the red phosphor responds to the blue phosphor and has delayed too a longer fall time than the blue phosphor.
  • the green phosphor responds even later than the red phosphor and also has the largest fall time.
  • FIG. 2 shows a timing diagram for illustrating the inventively reduced color fringes and an arrangement for delaying the R, G, B signals generated by the control electronics.
  • the video input signal corresponding to a black and white jump is shown.
  • the three diagrams below the black-and-white jump show the drive signals for the respective phosphor cells which are delayed relative to one another according to the invention.
  • the drive signal associated with the blue phosphor cell has - as a comparison with the associated drive signal according to FIG. 1 shows - the largest delay value, while the drive signal associated with the red phosphor cell in comparison to the associated drive signal according to FIG. 1 only slightly delayed.
  • the said delay values are chosen such that the different response of the different colored phosphors is compensated.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of an arrangement by means of which the above-described relative delays of the drive signals can be achieved.
  • This arrangement is provided between the control electronics, which generates the drive voltages for the different colored phosphor cells at the same time, and the plasma display in the path of the R, G, B signals.
  • each of said channels two mutually parallel delay elements are provided, which are acted on the input side with the respective drive signal and the output side connected to a superposition circuit.
  • a superposition circuit At the output of the respective superposition circuit is then each a delayed drive signal available, the time course on the right side of FIG. 2 is illustrated.
  • the respective upper delay element serves for delaying the rising edge of the signal and the respective lower delay element for delaying the falling edge of the drive signal.
  • the drive signals for the different colored phosphor cells are generated by the drive electronics themselves so that they have the externally generated externally generated relative delays.
