Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for addressing a plasma display panel. More particularly, the invention relates to the coding of the gray levels of a panel of the type with separate display and maintenance.
- PAP Plasma display panels
- PAPs generally include two insulating slabs (or substrate), each carrying one or more networks of electrodes and delimiting between them a space filled with gas. The slabs are assembled to each other so as to define intersections between the electrodes of said arrays. Each intersection of electrodes defines an elementary cell to which corresponds a gas space partially delimited by barriers and in which an electric discharge occurs when the cell is activated. The electric discharge causes an emission of UV rays in the elementary cell, and phosphors deposited on the walls of the cell transform UV rays into visible light.
- each cell can be in the on or off state. Maintaining in one of the states is done by sending a succession of so-called maintenance pulses for the entire duration during which one wishes to maintain this state.
- the ignition, or addressing, of a cell is done by sending a larger pulse, commonly called addressing pulse.
- the extinction, or erasure, of a cell is done by cancellation of the charges inside the cell using a damped discharge.
- the phenomenon of integration of the eye is called up by modulating the durations of the on and off states using sub-scans, or sub-frames, during the display time of a picture.
- a first addressing mode called addressing during display (or Addressing While Displaying)
- a second addressing mode consists of addressing, maintaining and erasing all the cells of the panel during three distinct periods.
- FIG. 1 shows the basic time distribution of the addressing mode with separate display for displaying an image.
- the total display time Ttot of the image is 16.6 or 20 ms depending on the country.
- the total duration of an underscan comprises an erasing time Tef, a time d addressing Ta, and the lighting time Tec specific to each subscanning.
- the addressing time Ta is also decomposable into n times an elementary duration Tae which corresponds to the addressing of a line.
- Figure 1 corresponds to a binary decomposition of the lighting time. This binary distribution presents some problems already identified.
- a problem of false contour comes from the proximity of two zones whose gray levels are very close but whose lighting times are decorrelated.
- the worst case, in the example in Figure 1, corresponds to a transition between levels 127 and 128: Indeed, the gray level 127 corresponds to an illumination during the first seven sub-scans SB1 to SB7 while the level 128 corresponds to the illumination of the eighth sub-scan SB8.
- Two areas of the screen placed next to each other, having levels 127 and 128, are never lit at the same time.
- the time integration is relatively good (if we do not take into account a possible flicker effect) and the we see two areas with relatively close grayscale.
- the integration time window changes screen zone and is moved from one zone to another for a number of cells.
- the displacement of the time window for integrating the eye from a level 127 area to a level 128 area has the effect of integrating that the cells are off for the duration of a frame, which results in the appearance of a dark outline of the area.
- moving the time window for integrating the eye from a level 128 area to a level 127 area has the effect of integrating that the cells are on at most for the duration of a weft, which results in the appearance of a clear outline of the area (less noticeable than the dark outline). This phenomenon is accentuated when working on pixels made up of three elementary cells (red, green and blue) because the false contours can be colored.
- the false contour phenomenon occurs on all level transitions where the switched lighting weights correspond to totally different time distribution groups. Significant switching is more troublesome than switching due to their importance. The resulting effect may be more or less noticeable depending on the switched weights and their places. Thus, the false contour effect can also occur with fairly distant levels (for example 63-128) but is much less shocking for the eye because it then corresponds to a very visible level (or color) transition.
- An image flickering problem (better known as the Large Area Flicker) occurs when the total frame display time is 20 ms. Image flickering is particularly noticeable in image areas of medium brightness whose lighting remains constant. This problem comes mainly from the temporal filtering function of the eye which is located at around 55Hz.
- FIG. 1 is not to scale and does not give an exact proportion of the addressing time.
- the complete addressing of a panel comprising 480 lines, for an underscan can take approximately 1, 2 ms or approximately 7% of the display time of a complete image displayed at a frequency of 60 Hz.
- the addressing time, for a complete underscan is approximately 1, 3 ms, or approximately 6.5% of the display time of an image.
- the actual display time of an image is therefore particularly reduced by the addressing time.
- various improvements are known to minimize these defects.
- FIG. 2 represents a solution where 10 sub-scans are used, which results in a reduction in the overall brightness of the panel.
- the maximum illumination time Tmax is then approximately 30% of the total display time of the image and the erasure and addressing time is of the order of 70%.
- Tmax is then approximately 30% of the total display time of the image
- the erasure and addressing time is of the order of 70%.
- sub-scans common to two lines of the panel, which makes it possible to increase the total number of sub-scans without reduce the actual display time of the image.
- FIG. 3 represents an example of coding on 14 sub-scans, the display time of which corresponds to approximately 10 sub-scans.
- the sub-weights of weight 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 17, 25 and 36 are common to two lines at the same time, the sub-weights of weight 5, 10, 20 , 30, 40 and 45 being specific to each line.
- Another solution for increasing the number of sub-scans consists in using a panel whose column electrodes are cut in the middle thus defining two half-panels each having a reduced number of lines which makes it possible to reduce the addressing times, the two half panels being addressed independently of each other. This solution increases the overall brightness of the panel.
- FIG. 4 represents the temporal distribution of an image into two groups each having a duration of 10 ms. Such a temporal distribution also minimizes the phenomenon of forgery contour.
- this type of temporal distribution requires a lot of sub-scans (14 sub-scans for FIG. 4) which reduces the overall gain in brightness produced by the use of two half-panels.
- the invention proposes a solution which combines the technique of sub-scans common to two lines with a distribution into two groups of sub-scans.
- the invention relates to a method of displaying a video image on a plasma display panel comprising a plurality of discharge cells in which each cell is illuminated for a period of illumination using a plurality of sub-scans each having its own duration, the sub-scans being distributed in two successive time groups, and in which the duration of illumination of each cell is distributed between the two groups, each group comprising first and second sub-scans scans, the first sub-scans being specific to each cell and the second sub-scans being common to at least two cells.
- the sum of the durations of all the first subscans of the first group is greater than the sum of the durations of all the first subscans of the second group and in that the sum of the durations of all the second under- first group scans is less than the sum of the durations of all second second group scans.
- Such a distribution of the sub-scans allows compensation between the two groups for the distribution of the sub-scans.
- the difference in illumination duration between the first and second groups is compensated between the first and second subscanning so that the overall difference between the illumination durations of the first and second groups are below a threshold.
- the invention also relates to a plasma display panel comprising illumination cells, and in which the cells are illuminated according to the method of the invention.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 represent temporal distributions of sub-scans during the display of an image according to the state of the art
- FIGS. 5 and 6 represent temporal distributions of sub-scans during the display of an image according to the invention
- FIGS. 7 to 9 illustrate an encoding algorithm for gray level according to the invention
- FIG. 10 represents a processing circuit implementing the coding algorithm according to the invention
- FIGS. 11 to 15 represent details of the circuit of FIG. 10
- FIG. 16 represents a screen plasma display implementing the invention.
- FIG. 5 represents a first preferred temporal distribution implementing the invention.
- This time distribution includes first PSB sub-scans specific to each line which make it possible to address each cell of the screen individually.
- first PSB sub-scans with which the respective lighting weights 5, 10, 10, 20, 20, 40 and 40 are associated.
- Such a choice makes it possible to have a maximum value of difference from 145 to 255 grayscale.
- a statistical study on video images makes it possible to determine that the probability of error due to the maximum value of difference is less than 5%.
- Second DSB subscans simultaneously address two adjacent lines.
- the maximum level after coding being equal to 244 and not 255.
- Such a difference on high luminosities is however not visible if an appropriate compression is carried out on high levels. It is also possible to transpose to 245 level instead of 256 during the gamma correction carried out beforehand.
- the first and second PSB and DSB sub-scans are divided into the first and second group PG and DG.
- the overall duration (lighting and addressing time) of each group is substantially the same, in this example the difference is of the order of 1%.
- the lighting weights are distributed in an equivalent manner, the first group PG comprising the lighting weights 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 24 and 40, and the second group comprising the lighting weights 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 16, 20, 24 and 40.
- the distribution of the first PSB sub-scans and the second DSB sub-scans is slightly unbalanced but the imbalance is in favor of the first PSB sub-scans in the first group and in favor of the second DSB sub-scans in the second DG group.
- the method of the invention will use the imbalances between the first and second sub-scans PSB and DSB in order to compensate them mutually so that the final result of the coding corresponds to a quasi equilibrium between the first and second groups PG and DG.
- the code of FIG. 5 is used. We perform a separation of the gray levels sharing a common addressing in common part and specific parts according to a known technique. We then distribute between the groups:
- the specific parts corresponding to the first sub-scans are separated into two parts, if the separation results in an imbalance, then the imbalance is in favor of the first group;
- the common part corresponding to the second sub-scans is separated into two parts, if the separation results in an imbalance, then the imbalance is in favor of the second group, the weights equal to 24 being always activated or inactivated simultaneously.
- the separation of the first subscans can cause an imbalance of 15 in favor of the first group
- the separation of the second subscans can cause an imbalance of 15 in favor of the second group.
- the real imbalance is only greater than 10 in 15% of the possible cases, and is less than or equal to 5 in 53% of the cases.
- NC 1 + 4 + 8 + 8 + 24 + 24
- FIG. 6 represents another preferred time distribution for which an embodiment will be described in more detail.
- This time distribution includes first PSB sub-scans specific to each line which make it possible to address each cell of the screen individually.
- first PSB sub-scans with which the respective lighting weights 5, 10, 10, 20, 20, 40 and 40 are associated.
- Such a choice makes it possible to have a maximum value of difference 145 on 256 levels of gray.
- a statistical study on video images makes it possible to determine that the probability of error due to the maximum value of difference is less than 5%.
- Second DSB subscans simultaneously address two adjacent lines.
- the first and second sub-scans PSB and DSB are divided into first and second groups PG and DG.
- the overall duration (lighting and addressing time) of each group is roughly the same, in our example the difference is around 0.5%.
- the lighting weights are distributed equivalently, the first group ML with lighting weights 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 30 and 40, and the second group with lighting weights 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 16, 20, 28 and 40.
- the distribution of the first PSB and the second DSB sub-scans is slightly unbalanced but the imbalance is in favor of the first PSB sub-scans in the first group and in favor of the second DSB sub-scans in the second DG group.
- the method of the invention will use the imbalances between the first and second sub-scans PSB and DSB in order to compensate them mutually so that the final result of the coding corresponds to a quasi equilibrium between the first and second groups PG and DG.
- the method of coding the gray levels for each pair of cells will now be described using the algorithm of FIG. 7.
- the algorithm begins with two known gray levels NG1 and NG2 associated respectively with a first and a second cell having common sub-scans.
- a first step 101 the absolute value of the difference between NG1 and NG2 is calculated. This difference
- a second step 102 the values V1 and V2 corresponding to the levels NG1 and NG2 are calculated respectively. These values V1 and V2 are determined on the one hand as a function of the rounding performed on the difference
- a first test 103 is carried out.
- the first test 103 checks whether the rounded difference D is greater than the maximum difference DMAX which is in our preferred example equal to 145.
- the second test 105 checks whether the rounded difference D is a multiple of 20. To simplify implementation, we can only test if D is a multiple of 4. If D is a multiple of 20 then we perform a fourth step 106, otherwise we perform a third test 107. The third test 107 checks whether the rounded difference D is a multiple of 10. To simplify implementation, it suffices to check whether D is a multiple of 2. If D is a multiple of 2, then a fifth step 108, otherwise a fourth test 109 is carried out.
- the fourth test 109 checks whether the rounded difference added to 5 is a multiple of 20. To simplify implementation, it suffices to check whether the two least significant bits of D are both equal to 1. If the rounded difference added of 5 is a multiple of 20, then a sixth step 110 is carried out, otherwise a seventh step 111 is carried out.
- the first to fourth tests 103, 105, 107 and 109 can be carried out successively or simultaneously depending on the technological choices made by a person skilled in the art.
- the third to seventh steps 104, 106, 108, 110 and 111 can be carried out either conditionally according to the results of the first to fourth tests 103, 105, 107 and 109 or simultaneously, the result of the tests being used only '' to choose the result of one of the steps after execution.
- the third to seventh steps 104, 106, 108, 110 and 11 1 are used to distribute the rounded difference D over the first and second groups PG and DG.
- the rounded difference is distributed so as to have the smallest possible imbalance.
- the notation D1 corresponds to the part of the rounded difference D which is placed in the first group PG
- the notation D2 corresponds to the part of the rounded difference D which is placed in the second group DG.
- an eighth step 112 recalculates the value V1 so that it is equal to V2 + DMAX.
- the man skilled in the art can easily understand that the third and eighth step 104 and 112 can be performed in any order.
- the fifth step 108 distributes the difference D between the first and second group PG and DG with an imbalance of 10 in favor of the first group PG.
- the sixth step 110 distributes the difference D between the first and second group PG and DG with an imbalance of 5 in favor of the second DG group.
- the seventh step 111 distributes the difference D between the first and second group PG and DG with an imbalance of 5 in favor of the first group PG.
- a ninth step 113 is carried out at the end of one of the fourth to eighth steps 106, 108, 110, 111 and 112.
- the ninth step 113 serves to determine which common value C1 must be determined to best compensate for the imbalances due to the distribution of the rounded difference D over the parts D1 and D2, the common value C1 corresponding to the first group PG.
- the first group does not allow all the values to be coded, it is necessary to calculate an optimum value of C1 which will be corrected during the actual encoding.
- the optimum value of C1 corresponds to the result of the operation ((V1 + V2) / 2 - D1) / 2 which is rounded down to the nearest whole in the preferred example.
- a tenth step 114 is encoded of the values C1 + D1 and C1 on the sub-scans of the first group PG.
- the value of C1 will also be refined.
- One method consists in determining all the possible encodings of the values C1 and C1 + D1 for the optimum value of C1. If it is not possible to encode with the optimum value of C1, then we try to encode with the values corresponding to C1 +/- 1 then C1 +/- 2 until at least one working code is obtained . After comparing the different possible codings, the final value of C1 is determined as being the value which corresponds for example to an encoding on a maximum number of underscans.
- This tenth step 114 also provides three words SM1, Sm1 and COM1 which correspond, for the first group PG, respectively to the coding of the first specific sub-scans PSB at the highest gray level, to the coding of the first specific sub-scans PSB at most low gray level, and coding of the second DSB sub-scans common to the two gray levels, The three words SM1, Sm1 and COM1 corresponding to the value of C1 retained.
- an eleventh step 115 of encoding the values C2 + D2 and C2 is carried out on the sub-scans of the second group DG.
- Those skilled in the art can apply a known technique to perform this encoding, or use the algorithm described below with reference to FIG. 8.
- a twelfth step 116 performs a formatting of the encoded values. This formatting is used to match the encoded values with the gray levels according to the highest gray level.
- an encoding algorithm will be described with reference to FIG. 8. The algorithm described applies to the eleventh step 115.
- a thirteenth step 201 performs the encoding of the value D2 + C2. The encoding carried out consists in coding the value D2 + C2 on all of the sub-scans PSB and DSB of the second group DG by favoring the sub-scans corresponding to the low light weights.
- a 9-bit word is obtained, the word being decomposable into a first SPEMAX word corresponding to the activation of the first PSB sub-scans of the second DG group and into a second COMMAX word corresponding to the activation of the second sub-scans.
- DSB scans of the second DG group.
- a fourteenth step 202 performs the encoding of the values D2 and C2 separately.
- D2 is encoded in a third word SPEMIN corresponding to the activation of the first PSB sub-scans of the second group DG.
- C2 is encoded in a fourth word COMMIN corresponding to the activation of the second DSB sub-scans of the second group DG.
- a test 203 is carried out. The test 203 checks whether the part D2 of the second group is greater than the value corresponding to the first word SPEMAX. If D2 is greater than the value of SPEMAX then a fifteenth step 204 is carried out, otherwise a sixteenth step 205 is carried out.
- the fifteenth and sixteenth steps 204 and 205 are assignment steps which determine three words SM2, Sm2 and COM2 which correspond, for the second group DG, respectively to the coding of the first specific sub-scans PSB at the highest gray level, to the coding of the first specific PSB sub-scans at the lowest gray level, and coding of the second DSB sub-scans common to the two gray levels.
- the fifteenth step 204 assigns the word SPEMIN to the word Sm2, a null word to the word Sm2, and the word COMMIN to the word COM2.
- the sixteenth step 205 assigns the word SPEMAX to the word Sm2, a word equivalent to the difference between the value of SPEMAX and the value D2, and the word COMMAX to the word COM2.
- FIG. 9 diagrams the course of the twelfth step 116.
- the words SMi and Smi are assigned either to the gray level NG1 or to the gray level NG2.

- a correspondence table is used which already includes the precalculated results.
- the correspondence table is for example made up of a memory organized in words of 12 bits, 3 bits corresponding to SM2, 3 bits corresponding to Sm2 and 6 bits corresponding to COM2.
- the memory has 13 address wires, 8 bits for the value C2 and 5 bits for the value D2. Care will be taken not to use the two least significant bits of the value D2 which provide unnecessary redundancy for the encoding carried out.
- the memory is loaded with the words to be obtained according to the different configurations of the values C2 and D2, at the addresses defined by the values C2 and D2. Possibly, a person skilled in the art can use only 4 bits to code the value D2, provided that it is coded differently.

- circuits such as for example the first and second calculation circuits 304 and 305 may be replaced by correspondence tables. It should be noted that, depending on the technology used, the correspondence tables can be more or less advantageous, in terms of circuit size, for producing said circuits.
- Another variant consists in using a single correspondence table organized in 23-bit words and having 16 address wires to directly receive the gray levels NG1 and NG2.
- the problem with this variant is the high cost of memories of this size which must operate with sufficient speed to be able to work in real time.
- correspondence tables are used to perform the encodings and decodings for reasons of simplicity of implementation and therefore of reliability. It goes without saying that these correspondence tables can be replaced by calculation circuits, in particular if it is chosen to implement such a device using circuits of the microcontroller type. More generally, a person skilled in the art can also be content to carry out the method of the invention only using programmed circuits essentially comprising a processor and a memory. The device thus produced will have a completely different structure from the device shown.
