Abstract
Description
본 발명은 교류형 플라즈마 표시패널 구동방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 ADS(Address Display Period Separated) 서브 필드방식에 따른 구동시 각 서브 필드당 유지(sustain)동작에서의 오동작을 방지하도록 한 교류형 플라즈마 표시패널 구동방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of driving an AC plasma display panel, and more particularly, an AC type which prevents a malfunction in a sustain operation for each subfield when driving according to an ADS (Address Display Period Separated) subfield method. The present invention relates to a plasma display panel driving method.
일반적으로, 플라즈마 표시패널(Plasma Display Panel)은 기체방전시 생기는 플라즈마로부터 나오는 빛을 이용하여 문자 또는 그래픽을 표시하는 소자로서, 플라즈마를 만들기 위해 외부에서 가해주는 전계 인가 구동방법에 의하여 직류형 또는 교류형으로 구분된다.In general, a plasma display panel is a device that displays characters or graphics by using light emitted from a plasma generated during gas discharge. The plasma display panel is a direct current type or alternating current by an electric field application driving method applied externally to make a plasma. Are divided into types.
상기 교류형 플라즈마 표시패널의 구동방식으로는 ADS 서브 필드(Address Display Period Separated sub-field)방식이 주로 채용되는데, 그 ADS 서브 필드방식은 전체 패널의 디스플레이 전극(즉, X 유지 전극과 Y 유지 전극) 사이에 방전을 동시에 일으켜서 벽전위를 형성시키는 일종의 프라이밍(pliming) 작용을 통하여 선택펄스의 전압을 감소시키고 어드레스 속도를 증가시켜서 소정의(예컨대, 256) 계조 표시를 가능하게 만들어 주는 구동방식으로서, 낮은 전압에서 선택동작을 할 수 있게 만들어 주는 데 그 핵심이 있다.As the driving method of the AC plasma display panel, an ADS sub-field method is mainly adopted. The ADS sub-field method uses display electrodes (ie, X sustain electrodes and Y sustain electrodes) of the entire panel. As a driving method that makes a predetermined (e.g., 256) gradation display by decreasing the voltage of the selection pulse and increasing the address speed through a kind of priming action that simultaneously forms a discharge between the two to form a wall potential. The key is to make the selection work at low voltages.
즉, 제1도 및 제2도를 참조하여 종래의 ADS 서브 필드방식에 대해 보다 설명하면, 제1도에 예시된 바와 같이 각 서브 필드(SF1∼SF8)에서 한 스캔 라인이 어드레싱(addressing)되면 그 라인은 나머지 라인들이 어드레싱될 때까지 기다리다가 마지막 라인이 스캔(scan)되고 나면 동시에 모든 라인들이 제2도에서와 같이 동일한 인가전압과 펄스폭으로 유지(sustain)를 하게 된다.That is, the conventional ADS subfield method will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, when one scan line is addressed in each subfield SF1 to SF8 as illustrated in FIG. 1. The line waits for the remaining lines to be addressed, and then once the last line is scanned, all lines are maintained at the same applied voltage and pulse width as in FIG.
다시 말해서, 첫번째 스캔 라인(1 라인)이 어드레싱되고 나면 마지막 스캔라인(480 라인)이 어드레싱될 때까지 첫번째 스캔라인(1라인) 어드레싱에 의해 형성된 벽전하는 스캔라인당 3μsec 정도의 시간을 적용할 경우 각 서브 필드당 1.44msec(3μsec×480)시간동안 대기한 후에 유지(sustain)를 실행하게 된다.In other words, after the first scan line (one line) is addressed, the wall charge formed by addressing the first scan line (one line) until the last scan line (480 lines) is addressed applies a time of about 3 μsec per scan line. Sustain is executed after waiting for 1.44 msec (3 μsec x 480) time for each subfield.
그런데, 상술한 종래의 ADS 서브 필드방식의 경우 유지시 전체적으로 동일한 펄스폭(α)을 인가하게 되면 마지막 스캔에서의 어드레싱에 의해 형성된 벽전하에 비해 첫번째 스캔에서의 어드레싱에 의해 형성된 벽전하가 불안정하게 동작하게 되고, 결국 각 서브 필드당 유지동작이 불안정하게 되어 오동작을 일으키게 된다.However, in the case of the conventional ADS subfield method described above, when the same pulse width? Is applied to the entire sustain, the wall charges formed by the addressing in the first scan are unstable compared to the wall charges formed by the addressing in the last scan. As a result, the holding operation for each subfield becomes unstable and causes a malfunction.
따라서 본 발명은 상술한 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 이루어진 것으로, ADS 서브 필드방식에 있어 각 서브 필드당 유지시 첫번째 유지펄스를 조정함으로써 유지시에 발생되는 오동작을 방지하도록 한 교류형 플라즈마 표시패널 구동방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. In the ADS subfield method, an AC plasma display panel is driven so as to prevent a malfunction occurring during holding by adjusting the first holding pulse during holding for each subfield. The purpose is to provide a method.
