Fig. 4 illustrates the method according to the driving plasma display system of first embodiment.
With reference to figure 4, at a plurality of image duration of display image, and each frame is divided into a plurality of sons with different emitting times according to the driving method of the plasma display system of first embodiment.Each frame can be divided into 10 or 12 son fields with different emitting times.
Each son field be divided into reset cycle of being used for the whole screen of initialization, be used to select the addressing period of the unit that will discharge, the cycle of keeping of discharge that is used to keep selected unit and the erase cycle that is used for the wall electric charge in the erasure discharge unit, carry out driving method according to first embodiment.
Driving method according to first embodiment comprises: the son field in the minimum gray level weight (for example, first a son SF1 during) reset cycle, will comprise that the first reset pulse RP1 of rising pulse and falling pulse is applied to scan electrode; And in son field, will only comprise that the 3rd reset pulse RP3 of falling pulse is applied to scan electrode except this first son SF1.
The falling pulse of the 3rd reset pulse RP3 be maintained at as bias voltage keep voltage Vs, descend from keeping voltage Vs then.Have the number of applications of high-tension rising pulse by minimizing, improved contrast-response characteristic.
Apply under the rising pulse situation once in an image duration, may produce erroneous discharge in specific gray level.In order to prevent this erroneous discharge, during the reset cycle of the unlatching field of and then turn-offing the son field, will comprise that the second reset pulse RP2 of rising pulse and falling pulse is applied to scan electrode.
For example, under the situations of all opening in all son fields of a frame, a son field that has in the son of low relatively gray level may be unsettled.But, because all sub behind this unsettled son field open, so owing to many discharges of keeping pulse produce stable discharge.
But, as shown in Figure 4, if three son SF1-SF3 open in the SF1-SF5 of the son field of low relatively gray level weight, and the SF5 unlatching of the 5th son, then the number of keeping pulse that produces in the son field after opening a son SF3 is not enough.This causes producing erroneous discharge in opening a son SF5.
By applying the second reset pulse RP2 that comprises rising pulse and falling pulse among of the unlatching behind the unstable stator field SF3 SF5, prevented the generation of erroneous discharge in opening a son SF5.
Although for ease of explanation, son SF1, SF2, SF3 and SF5 are set to open the son field alternatively at Fig. 4, first embodiment of the invention is not limited to this.
For example, suppose that first son the SF1 opens, and the 5th a son SF5 opens once more, during the reset cycle of second to the 4th a son SF2-SF4, apply the 3rd reset pulse RP3 that only comprises falling pulse.Thereby, have among the SF5 at the 5th son very big may to produce erroneous discharge.
Therefore, in the 5th a son SF5, apply the second reset pulse RP2 that comprises rising pulse and falling pulse, thereby prevent from the 5th a son SF5, to produce erroneous discharge.
In first embodiment, the son field that applies the 3rd reset pulse RP3 therebetween can be low gray level field.In the SF1-SF12 of the son field of a frame of arranging with the ascending order of gray level weight, the scope that low gray level is sub can be from the first son field to the 4th a son SF1-SF4.
In a son SF1-SF12 of a frame of arranging with the ascending order of gray level weight, a son scope that applies the second reset pulse RP2 therebetween can be from the 5th to the 12 a son SF5-SF12.
If in a son SF1 of minimum gray level, apply the first reset pulse RP1 that comprises rising pulse and falling pulse, and in the first to fourth son field in a son SF1-SF12 of a frame of arranging with the ascending order of gray level weight, apply the 3rd reset pulse RP3 that only comprises falling pulse, owing to unsettled discharge, there is a strong possibility erroneous discharge occurs so.Therefore, apply the second reset pulse RP2 in the 5th to the 12 son field in a son SF1-SF12 of a frame of arranging with the ascending order of gray level weight.
Therefore, the number of the rising pulse that apply an image duration has been considerably reduced, and makes contrast-response characteristic be improved, and has prevented the erroneous discharge on particular gray level.
Fig. 5 shows the method according to the driving plasma display system of second embodiment.
As shown in Figure 5, in an a plurality of son SF1-SF12, have respectively the minimum gray level weight a son SF1 reset cycle and and then turn-off during reset cycle of unlatching field SF5 of a son SF4, apply the first reset pulse RP1 and the second reset pulse RP2, make the crest voltage Vpeak1 of the rising pulse of the reset pulse RP1 that wins be higher than the crest voltage Vpeak2 of the rising pulse of the second reset pulse RP2.
In first embodiment shown in Fig. 4, in order to prevent to produce erroneous discharge, equal the crest voltage of the second reset pulse RP2 that during the reset cycle of the 5th a son SF5, applies in the crest voltage of the rising pulse of the first reset pulse RP1 that applies during the reset cycle of a minimum gray level SF1.Yet, be different from first embodiment, in Fig. 5, by during the reset cycle of a unlatching SF5 who and then turn-offs a son SF4, apply the second reset pulse RP2 with crest voltage Vpeak2 and prevent to produce flicker (flicker), this crest voltage Vpeak2 is less than the crest voltage Vpeak1 of the first reset pulse RP1 that applies during the reset cycle of a minimum gray level SF1.
Fig. 6 is used for the regional A of comparison diagram 5 and the figure of B.As shown in Figure 6, at regional A (promptly, a minimum gray level SF1) the crest voltage Vpeak1 of the first reset pulse RP1 that applies in is higher than the crest voltage Vpeak2 of the second reset pulse RP2 that applies in area B (that is, and then turn-offing the unlatching SF5 of a son SF4).
Fig. 7 is the figure that is used for explaining in detail according to first son of the method for the driving plasma display system of the 3rd embodiment.
As shown in Figure 7, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 before the first reset pulse RP1 that will comprise rising pulse and falling pulse during the reset cycle of first a son SF1 is applied to scan electrode, the first pre-reset pulse PRP1 is applied to scan electrode, and correspondingly the opposite polarity second pre-reset pulse PRP2 of polarity and this first pre-reset pulse PRP1 is applied to this first pre-reset pulse PRP1 and keeps electrode.
The first pre-reset pulse PRP1 is a negative polarity, and can be the falling pulse that descends gradually from ground level voltage GND.The second pre-reset pulse PRP2 is a positive polarity, and can be square wave.
As mentioned above, owing to before the reset cycle of first a son SF1, applied this first and second pre-reset pulse PRP1 and PRP2, thus reduced the crest voltage of the rising pulse of the first reset pulse RP1 that during the reset cycle of first a son SF1, applies.This will cause the reduction of black level brightness in reseting procedure.
Fig. 8 shows the method according to the driving plasma display system of the 4th embodiment.
As shown in Figure 8, at a plurality of image duration of display image, and each frame is divided into the son with different emitting times according to the method for the driving plasma display system of the 4th embodiment.Each frame can be divided into 10 or 12 son fields with different emitting times.
According to the driving method of the 4th embodiment be utilize with each sub-field fine be reset cycle of being used for the whole screen of initialization, be used to select the unit that will discharge addressing period, be used to keep cycle of keeping of discharge of selected unit and the erase cycle that is used for the wall electric charge in the erasure discharge unit to carry out.
During each reset cycle of the son SF1-SF12 of first frame, will comprise that the first reset pulse RP1 of rising pulse and falling pulse applies scan electrode according to the driving method of the 4th embodiment.
Then, second frame after first frame is to turn-off under the situation of unit (OFF-cell), during the reset cycle of each son SF1-SF12 of second frame, the second reset pulse RP2 that only comprises falling pulse is applied to scan electrode.
For example, if with corresponding first frame of part display surface (not shown) of Plasmia indicating panel be onunit (ON-cell), then in 12 son fields of first frame, apply the first reset pulse RP1, and this second frame is to turn-off the unit in whole front panel, and window displayed pattern (window pattern) performance is as the image retention pattern on the panel display surface of part.
Therefore, existing as first frame of onunit to the time, in whole son SF1-SF12 of second frame, apply the second reset pulse RP2 that only comprises falling pulse as the variation of second frame that turn-offs the unit.
Fig. 9 is the figure that is used for the regional A of detailed key drawing 8.As shown in Figure 9, the second reset pulse RP2 that applies in whole son SF1-SF12 of second frame only comprises falling pulse.
This falling pulse remain on as bias voltage keep voltage Vs, and descend gradually from keeping voltage Vs then.
As mentioned above, since with have every pulse 0.1cd/m 2Or the first reset pulse RP1 of higher brightness compares, and the second reset pulse RP2 that applies in second frame has about every pulse 0cd/m 2Brightness, therefore the application of the second reset pulse RP2 has reduced when existing from as the image retention level of first frame of opening the unit to as the variation of second frame of shutoff unit the time, and has improved contrast-response characteristic.
Figure 10 shows the method according to the driving plasma display system of the 5th embodiment, and Figure 11 is the figure that is used for the area B of specific explanations Figure 10.
As shown in Figure 10, during the reset cycle of each son SF1-SF12 of first frame, will comprise that the first reset pulse RP1 of rising pulse and falling pulse is applied to scan electrode according to the driving method of the 5th embodiment.
Then, second frame after this first frame is to turn-off under the situation of unit, will comprise that the second reset pulse RP2 of at least two rising pulses is applied to scan electrode during the reset cycle of all son SF1-SF12 of second frame.
As shown in Figure 11, the time cycle A that applies therebetween among son the SF1-SF12 of second frame of rising pulse of the second reset pulse RP2 is shorter than the time cycle B among the son SF1-SF12 of first frame of the rising pulse that applies the first reset pulse RP1 therebetween.
For each son of second frame, the scope of the number of the rising pulse that applies in all son SF1-SF12 of second frame can from 1 to 3.
Because the rising pulse that applies in the son field of first frame has each pulse 0.1cd/m 2Brightness, therefore owing at onunit with the brightness skew when turn-offing units alternately ground and changing each other, may occur glimmering, make contrast-response characteristic to worsen.
Thereby, by applying the second reset pulse RP2 of 2 or 3 rising pulses that comprise brightness, produce weak discharge for several times with about every pulse 0.4cd/m2.Consequently, compare with strong discharge once, weak discharge has reduced the level of dark image retention (dark image retention) for several times, and has prevented because brightness is offset the flicker that produces.
Figure 12 shows the method according to the driving plasma display system of the 6th embodiment.
(a) of Figure 12 shows at the last son of second frame and the reset pulse of the prior art that applies of first sub-field period of the 3rd frame of second frame and then.
As shown in Figure 12 (a), after second reset pulse that in second frame, applies as shown in Fig. 8 and 10, during first sub reset cycle of the 3rd frame behind second frame, apply a reset pulse.In this case, when exist from as second frame that turn-offs the unit to as the variation of the 3rd frame of onunit the time, be difficult to change discharge.
(b) of Figure 12 shows the reset pulse according to the 6th embodiment that first sub-field period of the 3rd frame behind the last son of second frame and this second frame applies.As shown in Figure 12 (b), apply the 3rd reset pulse RP3 and the 4th reset pulse RP4 at first sub-field period of the 3rd frame.
Each comprises the rising pulse the 3rd reset pulse RP3 and the 4th reset pulse RP4.
The first peak threshold voltage Vpeak1 of the 3rd reset pulse RP3 is than the second crest voltage Vpeak2 height of the 4th reset pulse RP4.
Poor (Vpeak1-Vpeak2) between the first peak threshold voltage Vpeak1 and the second crest voltage Vpeak2 can be less than or equal to 100V.
As mentioned above, owing to applied, so solved when existing from the problem of second frame of the conduct shutoff unit non stationary discharge to as the variation of the 3rd frame of onunit the time than the high 100V of the 4th reset pulse RP4 or less than the 3rd reset pulse RP3 of 100V.
Figure 13 shows the method according to the driving plasma display system of the 7th embodiment, and Figure 14 is the figure that is used for explaining in detail the regional A of Figure 13.
As shown in Figure 13, at a plurality of image duration of display image, and each frame is divided into the son with different emitting times according to the driving method of the plasma display system of the 7th embodiment.Each frame can be divided into 10 or 12 son fields with different emitting times.
According to the driving method of the 7th embodiment can utilize with each sub-field fine be reset cycle of being used for the whole screen of initialization, be used to select the unit that will discharge addressing period, be used to keep cycle of keeping of discharge of selected unit and the erase cycle that is used for the wall electric charge in the erasure discharge unit to carry out.
During each reset cycle of the son SF1-SF12 of first frame, will comprise that the first reset pulse RP1 of rising pulse and falling pulse is applied to scan electrode according to the driving method of the 7th embodiment.
Then, second frame after first frame is to turn-off under the situation of unit (OFF-cell), in at least one height field of second frame (for example, among Figure 13 the 12 SF12) during reset cycle, the second reset pulse RP2 rather than the first reset pulse RP1 that only comprises falling pulse is applied to scan electrode.
For example, if first frame is onunit (ON-cell), then in 12 son fields of first frame, apply 12 first reset pulse RP1 respectively, and second frame is to turn-off the unit, then occurs the image retention pattern in second frame.
When exist from as first frame of onunit to as the variation of second frame that turn-offs the unit time, apply the second reset pulse RP2 since the last son field of second frame.
In other words, if second frame comprises 12 son fields, then in 11 son fields of this second frame, apply the first reset pulse RP1, and in remaining one sub, apply the second reset pulse RP2.
Next, if the 3rd frame behind second frame is to turn-off the unit, then in 10 son fields of the 3rd frame, applies the first reset pulse RP1, and in remaining two son fields, apply the second reset pulse RP2.
If the son field behind the 3rd frame is in the state that turn-offs the unit, when then having the variation from a frame to another frame, the number of this second reset pulse can increase by one at every turn.
As shown in Figure 14, the second reset pulse RP2 that replaces the first reset pulse RP1 to apply at least one height field of second frame only comprises falling pulse.
This falling pulse remain on as bias voltage keep voltage Vs, and descend gradually from keeping voltage Vs.
Since with have every pulse 0.1cd/m2 or more the first reset pulse RP1 of high brightness compare, the second reset pulse RP2 that only comprises falling pulse has about every pulse 0cd/m2 or bigger brightness, therefore, the application of the second reset pulse RP2 has reduced when existing from as first frame of the onunit image retention level to as the variation of second frame that turn-offs the unit time.
Figure 15 is used for explaining in detail the figure that depends on according to the drive waveforms of the method for the driving plasma display system of the 7th embodiment.
As shown in Figure 15 (a), can be applied to the second reset pulse RP2 that applies at least one height field of second frame with backward from the son of high grade grey level weight.
For example, if a frame comprises 12 sons, and be to turn-off the unit as the frame subsequently of first frame of onunit, then during the reset cycle of the last son SF12 of this frame subsequently, apply this second reset pulse RP2.
If the frame subsequently as the frame that turn-offs the unit is an onunit, then a last son SF12 applies the second reset pulse RP2 during the reset cycle with the 11 a son SF11 of backward in the reset cycle of the last son SF12 of this frame subsequently with from this.Therefore, proportional as the increase number of the increase number of the frame that turn-offs the unit and the second reset pulse RP2.
On the other hand, if change to onunit, then in all son fields of this frame subsequently, apply the first reset pulse RP1 as the frame subsequently of a frame that turn-offs the unit.
Although repeat unchangeably as the frame that turn-offs the unit, make that the number of the first reset pulse RP1 is reduced when the variation of existence from a frame to another frame, and the number of the second reset pulse RP2 increases, and still, applies at least one first reset pulse RP1 in an image duration.
For example, always turn-offing under the situation of unit as the second to the 15 frame after first frame of onunit, in a son field of the 11 frame, apply the first reset pulse RP1, and in all the other 11 son fields of the 11 frame, apply the second reset pulse RP2.
Subsequently, the 12 frame after the 11 frame is to turn-off under the situation of unit, does not apply the second reset pulse RP2 in all son fields of the 12 frame.In the mode identical, in a son field of the 12 frame, apply the first reset pulse RP1, and in all the other 11 son fields of the 12 frame, apply the second reset pulse RP2 with the 11 frame.
As mentioned above, owing to apply the second reset pulse RP2, therefore prevented the generation of erroneous discharge, and reduced and removed dark image retention required time with a son backward from high grade grey level weight.
Can otherwise apply the second reset pulse RP2.This will illustrate with reference to (b) of Figure 15.
As shown in Figure 15 (b), when the variation that exists from a frame to another frame, can be applied to second reset pulse that applies at least one height field of second frame, and not consider the order of son.
For example, if a frame comprises 12 son fields, and the frame subsequently as first frame of onunit is to turn-off the unit, then can during the reset cycle of the last son SF12 of this frame subsequently, apply the second reset pulse RP2, and can during the reset cycle of the tenth a son SF10 of this frame subsequently, apply the second reset pulse RP2.
Afterwards, if be onunit, then can during the reset cycle of the 3rd a son SF3 of this frame subsequently, apply the second reset pulse RP2 as the frame subsequently of the frame that turn-offs the unit.Therefore, proportional as the increase number of the increase number of the frame that turn-offs the unit and the second reset pulse RP2.
On the other hand, when exist from as the frame that turn-offs the unit to as the variation of the frame of onunit the time, applying the first reset pulse RP1 as in all sons of the frame of onunit.
Therefore, prevented the generation of erroneous discharge, and reduced and removed the required time of dark image retention.
