Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1におけるプラズマディスプレイ装置に用いるパネル10の構造を示す分解斜視図である。ガラス製の前面基板21上には、走査電極22と維持電極23とからなる表示電極対24が複数形成されている。そして、走査電極22と維持電極23とを覆うように誘電体層25が形成され、その誘電体層25上に保護層26が形成されている。
第1の電圧V1=電圧Vx-電圧0(V)=電圧Vx
である。
第2の電圧V2=電圧0(V)-電圧0(V)=電圧0(V)
である。したがって、全てのサブフィールドにおいて、第1の電圧V1は第2の電圧よりも高い電圧に設定されていることが分かる。
実施の形態1では、全てのサブフィールドの初期化期間において、走査電極22に下り傾斜波形電圧を印加する際に、第2のデータ電極39に正極性の電圧Vxを印加し、第1のデータ電極32に書込みパルスの低圧側電圧と等しい電圧0(V)を印加する例を説明した。そのため、実施の形態1では、全てのサブフィールドの初期化期間において、第2のデータ電極39に、第1のデータ電極32に印加する電圧よりも高い正極性の電圧Vxを印加する。しかし、本発明は何らこの構成に限定されるものではない。
