The bus electrodes 11b and 12b are formed on the transparent electrodes 11a and 12a to serve to reduce voltage drop caused by the transparent electrodes 11a and 12a having high resistance.

Meanwhile, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the sustain electrode pairs 11 and 12 may not only have a structure in which the transparent electrodes 11a 12a and the bus electrodes 11b and 12b are stacked, but also the buses without the transparent electrodes 11a and 12a.

The scan electrode lines Y1 to Ym may be driven sequentially or simultaneously, and the sustain electrode lines Z1 to Zm may be driven simultaneously. The address electrode lines X1 to Xn may be divided into odd-numbered lines and even-numbered lines to be driven or sequentially driven.

Since the electrode arrangement shown in FIG. 2 is only an embodiment of the electrode arrangement of the plasma panel according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the electrode arrangement and driving method of the plasma display panel shown in FIG. 2. For example, a dual scan method in which two scan electrode lines among the scan electrode lines Y1 to Ym are simultaneously scanned is possible. In addition, the address electrode lines X1 to Xn may be driven by being divided up and down in the center portion of the panel.

3 is a timing diagram illustrating an embodiment of a time division driving method by dividing a frame into a plurality of subfields. The unit frame may be divided into a predetermined number, for example, eight subfields SF1, ..., SF8 to realize time division gray scale display. Each subfield SF1, ... SF8 is divided into a reset section (not shown), an address section A1, ..., A8 and a sustain section S1, ..., S8.

Here, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reset period may be omitted in at least one of the plurality of subfields. For example, the reset period may exist only in the first subfield or may exist only in a subfield about halfway between the first subfield and all the subfields.

In each address section A1, ..., A8, a display data signal is applied to the address electrode X, and scan pulses corresponding to each scan electrode Y are sequentially applied.

In each of the sustain periods S1, ..., S8, a sustain pulse is alternately applied to the scan electrode Y and the sustain electrode Z to form wall charges in the address periods A1, ..., A8. Sustain discharge occurs in the discharge cells.

The luminance of the plasma display panel is proportional to the number of sustain discharge pulses in the sustain discharge periods S1, ..., S8 occupied in the unit frame. When one frame forming one image is represented by eight subfields and 256 gradations, each subfield in turn has different sustains at a ratio of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128. The number of pulses can be assigned. In order to obtain luminance of 133 gradations, cells may be sustained by addressing the cells during the subfield 1 section, the subfield 3 section, and the subfield 8 section.

The number of sustain discharges allocated to each subfield may be variably determined according to weights of the subfields according to the APC (Automatic Power Control) step. That is, in FIG. 3, a case in which one frame is divided into eight subfields has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of subfields forming one frame may be variously modified according to design specifications. . For example, a plasma display panel may be driven by dividing one frame into eight or more subfields, such as 12 or 16 subfields.

The number of sustain discharges allocated to each subfield can be variously modified in consideration of gamma characteristics and panel characteristics. For example, the gray level assigned to subfield 4 may be lowered from 8 to 6, and the gray level assigned to subfield 6 may be increased from 32 to 34.

A reset section for initializing the discharge cells of the entire screen using the charge distribution, an address section for selecting the discharge cells, and a sustain section for maintaining the discharge of the selected discharge cells.

The reset section includes a setup section and a setdown section. In the setup section, rising ramp waveforms (Ramp-up) are simultaneously applied to all scan electrodes to generate fine discharges in all discharge cells. Thus, wall charges are generated. In the set-down period, a falling ramp waveform (Ramp-down) falling at a positive voltage lower than the peak voltage of the rising ramp waveform (Ramp-up) is simultaneously applied to all the scan electrodes (Y), thereby eliminating discharge discharge in all the discharge cells. Generated, thereby eliminating unnecessary charges during wall charges and space charges generated by the setup discharges.

In the address period, a negative scan signal scan is sequentially applied to the scan electrode, and at the same time, a positive data signal data is applied to the address electrode X. The address discharge is generated by the voltage difference between the scan signal and the data signal and the wall voltage generated during the reset period, thereby selecting the cell. Meanwhile, a signal for maintaining a sustain voltage is applied to the sustain electrode during the set down period and the address period.

In the sustain period, a sustain pulse is alternately applied to the scan electrode and the sustain electrode to generate sustain discharge in the form of surface discharge between the scan electrode and the sustain electrode.

The driving waveforms shown in FIG. 4 are first embodiments of signals for driving the plasma display panel according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the waveforms shown in FIG. For example, the pre-reset period may be omitted, and the polarity and the voltage level of the driving signals illustrated in FIG. 4 may be changed as necessary. After the sustain discharge is completed, an erase signal for erasing wall charge may be applied to the sustain electrode. May be authorized. In addition, the single sustain driving may be performed by applying the sustain signal to only one of the scan electrode (Y) and the sustain (Z) electrode to generate a sustain discharge.
