Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




(a) Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a plasma display panel and a method for driving the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a technique for driving an AC discharge plasma display panel.




(b) Description of the Related Art




Generally speaking, a plasma display panel (hereinafter called as “PDP”) has several advantages such as thin configuration, little flicker, large contrast, relatively large display area, high display speed and the like. Thus, plasma display panels will be increasingly used for personal computers, workstations, flat television sets and other applications hereinafter.




There are two different types of PDP with respect to a driving scheme thereof. One is a DC discharge type PDP in which electrode conductors are exposed to the plasma ions, and the other is an AC discharge type PDP in which electrode conductors are covered with a dielectric film for insulation from the plasma ions. The AC discharge type PDP includes a memory PDP in which the display cell itself has a memory function using a charge accumulation effect of the dielectric while discharging through the dielectric, and a refreshing PDP that does not utilize the above memory function. Brightness or intensity of the PDP is generally proportional to the number of discharge times, i.e., the number of repetitive frequency of the drive pulses.

A conventional method for driving the PDP of

FIGS. 1

will be described with reference to a timing chart of

FIG. 3

showing pulse waveforms applied to the electrodes of the PDP. A single driving period of the PDP includes a preliminary discharge period, a writing discharge period and a sustaining discharge period, which are iterated in this order so as to display a desired image.




In the preliminary discharge period, an erasing pulse


21


is applied to all the scanning electrodes


12

-

simultaneously, to stop the sustaining discharge, thereby allowing all the display cells


40


to enter an erased state. Thereafter, a preliminary discharging pulse

is applied to all the common electrodes

for erasing the preliminary discharge of all the display cells. In this description, “erase or erasing” means an operation of decreasing or deleting wall charge accumulated on the insulator.




In the writing discharge period, a scanning pulse

is applied to a corresponding one of the scanning electrodes


12




1


-


12




m


, with a certain timing period disposed between each two of the adjacent scanning pulses. In synchrony with the timing of the scanning pulses

FIG. 3

, diagonal line in each rectangular data pulse

indicates that presence or absence of the data pulse


27


depends on the data to be written.




In the following selected display cell, to which the data pulse


27


was applied at the timing of the scanning pulse


24


, generates writing discharge in the discharge space


20


between the scanning electrode


12


and the data electrode

15




a


adjacent the scanning electrodes


12


. At the same time, negative wall charge is also accumulated on the insulator layer


15




b


adjacent the data electrodes


19


.




In the sustaining discharge period, sustaining pulses

and


26


are applied to the common electrodes


13




1


-


13




m


and the scanning electrodes


12




1


-


12




m


so as to perform the sustaining discharge for maintaining a desired intensity in the display cells that performed the writing discharge in the writing discharge period. Specifically, a first sustaining discharge is generated by the potential difference between the positive potential generated by the positive wall charge accumulated on the insulator layer


15




a


and the negative potential of the first negative sustaining pulses


25


applied to the common electrodes


13


. After the first sustaining discharge is generated, the positive wall charge is accumulated on the insulator layer


15




a


at portions adjacent the common electrodes


13


, and the negative wall charge is accumulated on the insulator layer


15




a


at portions adjacent the scanning electrodes


12


. Subsequently, the second sustaining pulses


26


is applied to the scanning electrodes


12


to be superimposed on the potential difference generated by the positive wall charge and the negative wall charge, resulting in generation of a second sustaining discharge.




In the subsequent intervals in the sustaining discharge period, the sustaining discharge is consecutively maintained by superimposing (n+1)th sustaining pulses on the potential difference generated by the positive and negative wall charge accumulated by n-th sustaining discharge. By controlling the number of times for sustaining discharge, the brightness of the display can be controlled for each of the selected display cells. Usually, the sustaining pulses


25


and


26


have repetitive a frequency of approximately 100 KHz at most and each individual pulse has a rectangular waveform.




Since the potentials of the sustaining pulses


25


and


26


are adjusted to a level that does not generate discharge by itself, the wall charge does not exist before the application of the first sustaining pulse


25


in the unselected display cells that did not generate the writing discharge. Therefore, even if the first sustaining pulses


25


are applied, the first sustaining discharge is not generated and no subsequent sustaining discharge is generated in the unselected display cells. In this respect, since the wall charge accumulated by the preliminary discharge is erased by the preliminary discharge erasing pulse


23


, no sustaining discharge can be triggered in the unselected display cells.




The conventional AC color PDP as described above, however, has a disadvantage in that the sustaining discharge exhibits a low luminescence efficiency in the PDP, thereby raising the total power dissipation of the PDP.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem, and to provide a PDP and a method for driving the same, in which the luminescence efficiency for the sustaining discharge can be improved to thereby reduce the power dissipation of the PDP.




The present invention provides a method for driving a plasma display panel (PDP) having a plurality of display cells arranged in a matrix and each receiving therein discharge gas, first and second sustaining electrodes extending in a first direction of the matrix of display cells, and a data electrode extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the method comprising the steps of selectively applying a writing pulse between the first sustaining electrode and the data electrode, and applying a sustaining pulse train between the first sustaining electrode and the second sustaining electrode, the sustaining pulse train having a repetitive frequency f defined as follows;






f≧μ


i


V/(πd


2


)






wherein μ


i


, V and d are an ion mobility of the discharge gas, a peak voltage of the sustaining pulse train and a distance between the first sustaining electrode and the second sustaining electrode, respectively.




The present invention also provides a plasma display panel (PDP) device comprising first and second panels, a plurality of display cells sandwiched between the first panel and the second panel in a matrix and each receiving therein discharge gas, first and second sustaining electrodes disposed in a first direction of the matrix of display cells, and a data electrode disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first sustaining electrode being disposed for each row of the matrix of display cells, the second sustaining electrode being disposed for a plurality of rows of the matrix display cells.




In accordance with the present invention, since the PDP exhibits a higher luminescence efficiency in the sustaining discharge, the power dissipation of the PDP can be reduced.




The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description, referring to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT




Before describing embodiments of the present invention, the principle of the PDP of the present invention will be described first. In the description to follow, the scanning electrodes and the common electrodes to which the sustaining pulses are applied are collectively referred to as sustaining electrodes.




Referring to

FIG. 4

showing the relationship between the repetitive frequency of the sustaining pulses (drive frequency) and the luminescence efficiency in an AC color PDP. In

FIG. 4

, it is noted that the luminescence efficiency increases when the drive frequency exceeds approximately 3 MHz, and remarkably increases when the drive frequency exceeds approximately 10 MHz. Therefore, if the sustaining discharge is effected by the sustaining pulse having a drive frequency exceeding about 3 MHz, preferably about 10 MHz, a high luminescence efficiency can be obtained in the PDP. This increase of the luminescence efficiency is considered originating from the fall of ion temperature in the plasma discharge.




In a paragraph “SPARKING VOLTAGE IN HIGH FREQUENCY DISCHARGE” (pp. 153-155), in a book entitled “BASIC OF GAS DISCHARGE”, 1990, by Susumu Takeda, published from Tokyo Denki College Publishing Division, the following description appears. Assuming that μ


i


, d, f and E·cos(2πf·t) are ion mobility of the discharge gas, distance between the electrodes, frequency of the electric field, intensity of the electric field at a time instant t, if the frequency f is higher than 2 μ


i


E(2π d), an ion capture phenomenon occurs in which the number of ions that cannot reach the electrodes increases. It is recited that the sparking voltage at which the plasma discharge starts is lowered in this case due to the action by the positive space charge. The electric field frequency f can be expressed by equation, f=μ


i


V/(π d


2


), wherein V is a peak voltage of the applied drive pulse. The distance d between the electrodes is referred to as a discharge length in the discharge space during the sustaining discharge period. In this text, for simplicity, the shortest discharge path is regarded as the distance d. Thus, d is referred to as the shortest distance d between sustaining electrodes in a DC PDP, whereas d is referred to as the shortest distance between imaginary electrodes projected to the surface of the insulator at the discharge space in an AC PDP.




After the ions are captured between the sustaining electrodes, energy that was consumed by ion movement to raise ion temperature becomes unnecessary, whereby the energy to be input from outside the PDP decreases. Thus, the sustaining discharge can be effected by less energy compared to the conventional PDP. In other words, application of the sustaining pulse that has higher frequency than μ


i


V/(πd


2


) between the sustaining electrodes to decide the brightness of the display is desirable for generating the ion capture phenomenon. For example, when V=200 volts, d=0.01 cm, and μ


i


=1 cm


2


/Vs, the above-mentioned effect can be obtained in the case where the frequency f of the electric field is higher than approximately 2 MHz.




If the ion capture phenomenon is effected by a high frequency drive, the voltage of the sustaining pulse in the PDP can be reduced because the sparking voltage is lowered. The voltage reduction of the sustaining pulse is effective from a practical standpoint because a request for a high withstand voltage for the driving circuit of the PDP can be tempered. In addition, the drive frequency for effecting the ion capture phenomenon largely depends on the composition of the discharge gas and the structure of the display cell of the PDP, and is more than several megahertz (MHz) if the usual discharge gas and cell structure are used. Such a high frequency hardly enables application of the conventional rectangular pulse to the drive circuit of the PDP, which assumes a capacitive load. Therefore, it is desirable to use a sinusoidal wave pulse.




Referring to

FIG. 5

, the illustrated timing chart includes the voltage waveform for the sustaining electrode A (common electrode, for example) and the voltage waveform for the sustaining electrode B (scanning electrode, for example). The sustaining electrode A and the sustaining electrode B form a pair for sustaining discharge, and the sinusoidal waves applied to the sustaining electrodes A and B are opposite in phase to each other. The voltage applied to each display cell of the PDP is represented by the difference between the waveforms applied to the sustaining electrodes A and B. Therefore, the sinusoidal wave voltages of

FIG. 5

can reduce the amplitudes of the drive pulses applied to the respective sustaining electrodes A and B.




Referring to

FIG. 6

, the illustrated timing chart includes the sinusoidal wave voltage for the sustaining electrode A and a constant voltage for the sustaining electrode B. In this case, although the amplitude of the applied sinusoidal wave is larger compared to the case of

FIG. 5

, the drive circuit can be simplified due to the constant voltage for the sustaining electrode B. Both the drive voltages shown in

FIGS. 5 and 6

are effective to application of a higher frequency voltage for obtaining the ion capture phenomenon due to the sinusoidal wave voltages.




Now, PDPs according to embodiments of the present invention are specifically described with reference to accompanying drawings, wherein similar constituent elements are designated by similar reference numerals throughout the drawings.
