PLASMA DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

In a plasma display device, a temperature monitoring electrode (16) for monitoring a panel temperature is arranged in parallel with at least one of a display electrode (11) and a scanning electrode (12), and an address electrode (13) on a PDP (10). A resistance value monitoring circuit (60) for monitoring the resistance value of the temperature monitoring electrode is connected with the temperature monitoring electrode. Further, a temperature conversion circuit (70) for converting the resistance value monitored by the resistance value monitoring circuit to temperature is connected with the resistance value monitoring circuit. Each driver applies a drive waveform and/or a drive voltage suitable for temperature converted by the temperature converting circuit to drive each electrode, and consequently need for designing a useless space is eliminated. As a result, performance in an ordinary use condition can be improved.
