PLASMA DISPLAY APPARATUS AND DRIVING METHOID FOR PLASMA DISPLAY APPARATUS

摘要

A plasma display apparatus has a sustain pulse generation circuit for generating a sustain pulse during a sustain period. The sustain pulse generation circuit generates at least two different sustain pulses whose rising parts have different gradients over the sustain period. Also, after the occurrence of the first two pulses in the sustain period and within the sustain period excluding an erasing pulse, the sustain pulse generation circuit generates a predetermined number of sustain pulses whose rising gradients become more steep toward the latter pulses at least at one of electrodes, continuously as sustain pulses whose gradients at the rising parts vary depending on the illumination rate of the plasma display in the sustain period.
