Selective shifting AC plasma panel

摘要

An AC plasma panel display (100) is described with selective row and column shifting capability. The column conductors (C2, C4 . . . , C512) are common between a staging area (11) and an exhibiting area (12) while the other column conductors (C1, C3 . . . , C511) are terminated at the boundary between the two areas. The row shifting is accomplished in the staging area to enter display data on the panel. Column shifting is used between the two areas to transport display data onto the exhibiting area from the staging area. The modified display panel requires a minimum number of drivers and intrinsically isolates column and row shifting during operation.
