[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plasma display device for displaying by utilizing AC plasma discharge and a driving method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Plasma display (PDP: Plasma)
The Display Panel) can be thinned and has a large screen, which is difficult to realize with a cathode ray tube (CRT) that has been widely used in television receivers and computer displays in the past. Expected to be deployed.

A display panel of a PDP has a structure in which two glass substrates are bonded together, and a pair of sustain electrodes is formed on a front glass substrate and a pair of sustain electrodes is formed on a rear glass substrate in a direction intersecting with the sustain electrodes. Address electrodes are arranged respectively. A phosphor is applied to the inside of one of the substrates, and a discharge gas is filled between the two substrates. In principle,
Plasma discharge occurs in the discharge gas existing between the electrodes whose potential difference exceeds the discharge start voltage. PDP
Is used to perform light emission display and display pixel selection. Light emission for display is performed between the sustain electrode pairs. That is, when a voltage is applied to the sustain electrode pair, plasma discharge occurs in the gas and ultraviolet rays are radiated, and when the ultraviolet rays hit the phosphor, they emit light.

The display pixel is selected by accumulating or erasing the wall charges of the pixel by the discharge between the sustain electrode and the address electrode in the selected pixel. FIG. 5 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an electrode structure of a PDP provided with pixels of m × n dots. Pair of sustain electrodes 112
X and 112Y are n each (X ₁ , Y ₁ , X ₂ , Y ₂ , ...
., X _n , Y _n ) and m address electrodes 124 (H ₁ ,
H ₂ , ..., H _m ), and the sustain electrodes 112 are provided.
Each area corresponding to the intersection of the matrix formed by the pair of X and 112Y and the address electrode 124 is a pixel. Therefore, the address of each pixel can be expressed by a matrix of the sustain electrodes 112Y and the address electrodes 124, and (1, 1) ... (Y
_n , H _m ). for that reason,
By applying a voltage to both the sustain electrode 112Y and the address electrode 124 of a predetermined pixel, that pixel can be selected and discharged.

The light emission control for each pixel is normally performed in three stages, and each operation period is called a reset period, an address period and a sustain (discharge sustaining) period after the operation content.
Taking the selective erasing method as an example, the voltage signals shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C are input to the three electrodes forming the pixel during each period. During the reset period, all the sustain electrodes 112 are
By discharging between X and 112Y and uniformly accumulating wall charges in all pixel regions, all the pixel information written before that is erased and the entire screen is brought into a uniform charged state.

In the next address period, the display pixel in the display panel is selected. That is, the wall charges already accumulated are left in the ON display pixels and erased by discharging in the OFF display pixels to form a binary state. for that purpose,
A voltage signal is input to both the sustain electrode 112Y and the address electrode 124 corresponding to the position of the OFF display pixel to control the discharge.

That is, the sustain electrode 112Y (Y ₁ ,
Y _2, · · ·, Y for _n) by applying a scan pulse is sequentially scans the pixel column address electrodes 124 (H ₁ corresponding to m pixels of the scanned column, H _2, · .., H _m )
A data pulse generated from the ON / OFF data of each pixel is applied to each in synchronization with the scan timing on the sustain electrode 112Y side (in this case, a pulse is input to the OFF display pixel). This operation is usually called data writing, and the entire operation is called addressing because it allocates data to each pixel position. Further, the sustain electrode 112Y is also referred to as a scan electrode and the address electrode 124 is also referred to as a data electrode because of the role of addressing. Thus, in the address period, discharge occurs in the OFF display pixel,
The wall charge is erased.

Next, during the sustain period, an AC pulse (sustain pulse) is applied to the sustain electrode pairs of all pixels.
At this time as well, since the wall charges serve as a bias in the pixel region, only the ON display pixels where the wall charges remain reach the discharge start voltage selectively, discharge is generated and maintained, and light emission is continued during the sustain period. It

The operation principle of the selective writing method is the same as the above, but the wall charges in all pixel regions are uniformly erased by the discharge in the reset period, and the ON display pixels are turned on by the discharge in the address period. On the other hand, it accumulates wall charges.

As described above, the PDP is designed to display by pulsed light emission based on a digital signal.
The subfield method is generally used as a driving method. The subfield method is a method in which a display screen of one field is time-divided into several subfields and gradation is expressed by time-width modulation of light emission time. Specifically, the display period (16.7 msec) of one field is divided into N subfields weighted according to the bit digit of N-bit pixel data representing luminance. The ratio of the light emitting period of each subfield is 2 ^k (k = 0 to N−1), and is generally embodied as 2 ^k times (k = 0 to N−1) pulsed light emission. In the PDP, the series of sequences described above is repeated for each such subfield.

Looking at this for each pixel, ON / OFF is performed for each subfield corresponding to the bit value of "1" and "0" of each digit of the pixel data, and by superimposing them, an appropriate luminance is obtained. It is supposed to be displayed. For example, when the pixel data is 8 bits, as shown in FIG. 7, the display period of one field is divided into subfields SF1 to SF8. Further, the number of times of light emission in the sustain period of each of the subfields SF1 to SF8 is 2 ⁰ (1), 2 in order.
^{It is set to 1} (2), 2 ² (4), ..., 2 ⁷ (128) times.
By combining ON / OFF of one subfield, the pixel can be turned on each time from 0 to 255 times. As a result, display is performed with 256 gradations by weighting each light emission.

[0012]

Although PDPs have almost reached the stage of practical application, further improvement in image quality is demanded with the spread of broadband and the progress of IT technology. However, increasing the resolution in the above-mentioned display method means increasing the number of scan electrodes and increasing the address period. Therefore, there is a problem that the total sustain period for the actual field is reduced, which not only deteriorates the luminance but also makes it impossible to maintain the number of gradations.

Now, let us consider a VGA (Video Graphics Array; 640 × 480 pixel number) PDP. The reset period per subfield is 400 μsec, and the address period (write time for one time) is 2.5 μsec.
The total reset address period within one field is (400 + 2.5 × 480 (number of scanning electrodes)) × 8 (number of subfields) = 12800 (μsec) Therefore, 12.8 out of 16.7 msec per field.
msec is distributed in the reset address period, and at most 3.9 msec remains in the sustain period.
In this way, even when displaying with a general number of pixels, the sustain period is actually shorter than the address period,
Not enough time is available. Much less
In the sub-field SF1 which is the minimum bit (LSB), the sustain period is secured only for about 15 μsec.

Therefore, various methods for shortening the address period have been conventionally proposed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the screen is divided into upper and lower two blocks, and the upper and lower scan electrode groups YA (Ya1, Ya2, ..., Yan) and YB (Yb1, Yb2, ..., Ybn) are divided. A method of scanning simultaneously is known. That is, the scanning electrode Ya
i and Ybi (i = 1 to n) are selected at the same time, and the data signal for each is selected to the address electrode 124A (Ha1,
Ha2, ..., Ham), 124B (Hb1, Hb
2, ..., Hbm). Therefore, although the total number of scanning electrodes is 2n, writing is performed in the scanning time of n lines.

However, the electrodes in this case are normally drawn out horizontally on the surface of the substrate on which they are provided. Therefore, the address electrodes 124A,
124B can be pulled out only in the vertical direction on the display screen. Due to such a structural reason, the number of screen divisions is limited, and in the past, it was difficult to divide the screen into two or more. Therefore, the address period could be shortened to only one half of the usual method.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a plasma display device capable of high-luminance and high-resolution display, and a driving method thereof.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the structure of a display panel of a plasma display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view taken along the line L1-L2 (from the substrate 21 side to L).
It is the top view seen in 3 directions. In this display panel, the constituent elements other than the data electrode 24 are configured similarly to the conventional display panel. That is, a discharge space is provided between the front glass substrate 11 and the rear glass substrate 21 facing each other, and the discharge gas is contained therein. The sustain electrode 1 is formed on one side of the front glass substrate 11.
The 2X and the scanning electrode 12Y are provided so as to form a pair and are arranged in parallel. The pair of the sustain electrode 12X and the scan electrode 12Y is for performing discharge for light emission display between them, and the scan electrode 12Y selects a light emitting pixel with the data electrode 24 as described later. It is supposed to do.

Further, here, the scanning electrode 12Y is composed of three groups of scanning electrode groups 12YA, 12YB and 12YC. Each of the scan electrode groups 12YA to 12YC has a scan electrode Y.
a1, Ya2, ..., Yan, scan electrodes Yb1, Yb
2, ..., Ybn, scan electrodes Yc1, Yc2, ...
., Ycn.

The front glass substrate 11 is made of a highly transparent material because it is located on the display surface side, and high strain point glass or soda lime glass is generally used. Electrode 1
2X and 12Y are transparent electrodes made of, for example, ITO (Indium-Tin Oxide), and a bus electrode 13 made of a metal such as Al (aluminum) is integrally provided on the side edges thereof to reduce resistance. ing. Also, the electrodes 12X, 1
A dielectric layer 14 made of, for example, SiO ₂ (silicon dioxide) and a protective layer 15 made of MgO (magnesium oxide) are sequentially provided on 2Y.

On the other hand, data electrodes 24 are provided in parallel on the opposite surface side of the rear glass substrate 21.
Here, the data electrode 24 is composed of three data electrode groups 24A, 24B and 24C arranged in the L2 direction, and at the same time, is drawn out to the other surface side of the rear glass substrate 21, that is, the rear surface side opposite to the display surface. . Therefore, the rear glass substrate 21 is provided with a through hole H, and the through hole wiring 22 is formed by filling the inside of the through hole H with a conductive material such as silver paste. The through hole H is provided in the formation area of the data electrode 24 on the substrate 21, and may be formed anywhere as long as it is the area. However, since there is a possibility that the through hole H can be seen through the front glass substrate 11 at the time of display, the formation position of the through hole H faces the sustain electrode 12X or the scan electrode 12Y when the panel is formed, and is viewed from the display surface. It is desirable to hide it so that it cannot be seen. The data electrode 24 is connected to the through hole wiring 22 by, for example, having a structure in which the through hole wiring 22 penetrates, and is electrically connected to the back surface of the substrate 21. At both ends of the through hole wiring 22,
Rounds 23A and 23B are provided respectively.

The rear glass substrate 21 is made of, for example, the same material as the front glass substrate 11, and has the data electrodes 24.
Is made of a metal such as Al. Further, a dielectric layer 25 made of, for example, SiO ₂ and a partition wall 26 for partitioning the discharge space into columns of the light emitting unit regions SP and preventing crosstalk between adjacent pixels are provided thereon. . The partition wall 26 is formed, for example, by patterning a glass paste and then firing it. Further, phosphors 27 of three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) are periodically applied on the side surface of the partition wall 26 facing the discharge space and the exposed surface of the dielectric layer 25. Has been formed.

In such a display panel, the data electrodes 24 sandwich the discharge space and the electrodes 1 on the front glass substrate 11 side.
Each region facing the 2X, 12Y pair (intersecting when viewed from the display surface side) is a light emitting unit region SP which is a minimum unit of light emission.
Has become. The light emitting unit area SP corresponds to a pixel. Here, the scan electrode group 12YA and the data electrode group 2
The light emitting unit area SP formed by 4A is the display area G.
It constitutes A. Scan electrode groups 12YB and 12YC,
The same applies to the respective combinations of the data electrode groups 24B and 24C, and the display regions GB and GC are formed. As described above, the entire display panel includes the data electrode 2
4 display areas GA, GB and GC arranged in the extending direction 3
It consists of two blocks. Display area GA to GC
Are not electrically connected to each other here and can be driven independently.

The sustain electrodes 12X and the scan electrodes 12Y are each connected to a drive circuit (not shown). The drive circuit for the scan electrodes 12Y includes scan electrode groups 12YA to 12YA.
Scan signals are sequentially input to the scan electrodes 12 in units of 2YC. At that time, the scan electrode group 1
Scan electrodes 12Y of 2YA, 12YB and 12YC respectively
ai, 12Ybi, 12Yci (i = 1, ..., N)
On the other hand, they are input at the same timing. As a result, the display areas GA to GC are simultaneously scanned.

Here, the data electrode 24 is provided on the back surface of the substrate 21 as shown in FIG.
Connected to 2. The data driver 32 is a drive circuit for inputting a data signal corresponding to the light emitting unit area SP to which the scan signal is input from the scan electrode 12 to the data electrode 24 in synchronization with the input timing of the scan signal. The data driver 32 is composed of a driving IC,
It is mounted on the wiring board 31. The wiring board 31 is a so-called PCB board (Printed Curcuit Board), and is provided with the board 31 and electrode portions 33 for electrically connecting both surfaces thereof through through holes. The data driver 32 is electrically connected to the electrode portion 33 and the wiring board 31 via the lead wiring 32a.

Furthermore, the electrode portion 33, the through-hole wiring 22 and the round 23B drawn out to the back surface of the substrate 21 are joined by bumps 28 made of, for example, solder. In this way, the data electrode 24 and the data driver 32 are electrically connected.

The data driver 32 is composed of a plurality of (here, three) units, each of which is electrically connected to the data electrode groups 24A, 24B and 24C of the display panel. That is, the data driver 32 inputs a data signal corresponding to the light emitting unit area SP scanned in each of the display areas GA to GC from each unit to each of the data electrode groups 24A to 24C.

As described above, the data electrode groups 24A to 24C
It is possible to control the entire display panel by dividing the display panel into display areas GA to GC by pulling out on the back surface of the substrate 21 instead of drawing on the substrate surface as in the conventional case.

This plasma display device can be manufactured, for example, as follows.

The front glass substrate 11 side can be manufactured in the conventional manner. First, the front glass substrate 11
On one surface, a transparent electrode material such as ITO is deposited by sputtering or vacuum deposition to form a pattern, and sustain electrodes 12X and scan electrodes 12Y are alternately formed in stripes. The scan electrode 12Y is a scan electrode group 12Y.
The electrodes 12X and 12Y are patterned in the same manner as in the related art, though they are driven separately for A to 12YC. Subsequently, a bus electrode 13 having a predetermined width is formed on the edge portion on the opposite side of the pair of electrodes 12X and 12Y. The bus electrode 13 is formed, for example, by depositing a metal material having good conductivity such as Ag, Al, Ni, Cu, Mo, or Cr as a single substance or by stacking them. As the film forming method, in addition to the screen printing method, a sputtering method, a vacuum deposition method, a CVD method, or the like can be used. After that, the dielectric layer 14 made of SiO ₂ is formed by vacuum film formation such as sputtering or screen printing. A protective layer 15 made of MgO is formed thereon by an electron beam evaporation method.

The constituent elements on the rear glass substrate 21 side are formed as follows, for example. First, the data electrode 24 is formed on one surface of the rear glass substrate 21. The data electrode 24 is formed by depositing and stacking a metal material having a good conductivity similar to that of the bus electrode 18, specifically, Al and Mn, by a method similar to that of the bus electrode 18, laminating and patterning in a stripe shape. be able to.

Next, a through hole H is opened in the substrate 21. The through hole H is formed by using, for example, a laser so as to penetrate from the top of each data electrode 24 to the back surface of the substrate 21. A diamond drill or the like can also be used as a means for making a hole. Next, the through hole H is filled with a conductive material. Examples of the conductive material include various metal pastes, for example, a silver paste having an epoxy resin as a binder is used. This is printed on the substrate 21 and filled in the through holes H. As a result, the data electrode 24 is drawn out to the back surface of the substrate 21.

Next, metal thin films are formed on both surfaces of the substrate 21 by printing or vapor deposition, and rounds 23A and 23B are formed at both ends of the through hole H. The metal used here may be one generally used as an electrode material and may be laminated.

Further, for example, SiO _{2 is formed} by a vapor deposition method or a printing method to form a dielectric layer 25. Next, a glass paste is patterned in a predetermined region on the dielectric layer 25, and the paste is fired to form partition walls 26 having a predetermined shape.
To form. Specifically, a paste-like low-melting glass is applied and formed by a screen printing method, then shaped into a stripe by a sandblasting method, and baked. Next, the phosphor 27 is formed in a predetermined arrangement by printing, for example, phosphor slurry from the side surface of the adjacent partition walls 26 to the dielectric layer 25 between them.

Next, the front glass substrate 11 and the rear glass substrate 21 are assembled. For example, a seal layer made of low melting point glass is formed on the peripheral portion of the front glass substrate 11 by screen printing. Then, the front glass substrate 1 is arranged so that the electrodes 12X, 12Y and the data electrode 24 are oriented orthogonally.
1 and the back glass substrate 21 are bonded together and fired to fire and cure the seal layer. Furthermore, the two substrates 11, 21
The discharge space defined by the partition wall 26 is evacuated and filled with a mixed gas.

Next, the wiring board 31 having the data driver 32 mounted thereon is bonded to the back surface of the back glass substrate 21, which is the back surface of the display panel. This is round 2 of board 21
3B and the electrode portion 33 of the wiring board 31 are soldered via the bumps 28. The sustain electrode 12
A drive circuit is connected to the X and scan electrodes 12Y in the conventional manner. As a result, the plasma display device of the present embodiment is completed.

Next, a method of driving the plasma display device will be described.

FIGS. 4A to 4G show a driving sequence of this plasma display device. The basic operation is the same as the conventional one. However, here, the scanning electrode group 12YA,
12YB and 12YC, and the data electrode group 24
Addressing is performed in combination with A, 24B, and 24C. That is, in the address period, the scan electrodes 12
Yai, 12Ybi, 12Yci (i = 1, ...,
Scan pulses are sequentially input to n) at the same timing. At the same time, in synchronization with this, the data electrode group 24
ON of the light emitting unit area SP being scanned is set to A to 24C.
Input the data pulse according to ON / OFF. As a result, writing of data in each of the display areas GA to GC is performed simultaneously. Therefore, the address period in this case is shortened to 1/3 of the conventional method.

As described above, in the present embodiment, each scanning electrode 12 is drawn out from the back surface of the substrate 21.
Since the scanning electrode groups 12YA to 12YC are provided on one display panel, the light emitting unit area SP is divided into three display areas GA to GC arranged in the extending direction of the data electrode 24. Data can be written in the unit area SP simultaneously in each of the display areas GA to GC, and the address time is 3 times as compared with the conventional operation method.
It is shortened by a factor of 1. Therefore, the sustain period can be relatively increased, and high-luminance display can be performed. Also, in each field period, it is possible to increase the number of subfields and increase the number of gradations by the shortened address period. Furthermore, if the address period is still allowed, the number of scan electrodes can be increased, and the number of pixels can be doubled to improve the resolution.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, it suffices that the data electrode can be taken out to the back surface side of the back glass substrate, and the electrode taking-out method (connection method of the data electrode and the data driver) is not limited to the method described in the above embodiment.

In the above embodiment, the wiring substrate 31 is attached to the rear glass substrate 21 and the data driver 3 is attached.
Although 2 is arranged on the back side of the display panel, the data driver may be directly connected to the back surface of the rear glass substrate. However, the connection through the wiring board as in the embodiment makes it possible to manufacture relatively easily and with high yield. Further, the data driver need not be necessarily provided on the back side of the back glass substrate, as long as it is electrically connected to the extracted data electrode.

[0046]

As described above, according to the plasma display device of the present invention, the first substrate, the second substrate which is arranged to face the first substrate and has the through hole, and the through hole. A conductive material filled in, and a scan electrode group including a plurality of scan electrodes provided in parallel on one surface of the first substrate,
A data electrode group composed of a plurality of data electrodes provided in a region including the through hole on one surface of the second substrate so as to intersect with one of the scan electrode groups in parallel; It is configured to include a plurality of light emitting unit regions provided in the intersecting region with the data electrode group, and to have two or more light emitting unit region groups provided side by side in the extending direction of the data electrode. The display panel which can only be divided can be divided into two or more light emitting unit region groups. Data can be written in these light emitting unit region groups at the same time, and as a result, the address period is shortened in inverse proportion (1 / N) to the number (N) of the light emitting unit region groups. Therefore, it is possible to achieve much higher brightness or higher resolution than ever before.

According to the driving method of the plasma display device of the present invention, in the plasma display device of the present invention,
A scan signal is input to each scan electrode of each scan electrode group at the same time, and a data signal corresponding to the light emitting unit region to which the scan signal is input from the scan electrode is input to each of the data electrode groups at the scan signal input timing. Since the inputs are made in synchronization with each other, it is possible to simultaneously write data in the light emitting unit region groups. Since the time required for writing is inversely proportional (1 / N) to the number (N) of light emitting unit regions, it becomes shorter.
The address period can be shortened. Therefore, high-luminance or high-resolution display can be performed.
