A plasma display panel driving method and plasma display panel apparatus capable of displaying high-quality images with high luminous efficiency

摘要

A plasma display panel (PDP) driving method for a PDP having a plurality of pairs of display electrodes, a plurality of data electrodes arranged to intersect the display electrodes, and a plurality of discharge cells each formed in a space between the display electrodes and the data electrodes, the PDP driving method repeating the following steps to perform image display:
a set-up step for applying a set-up pulse to one of each pair of display electrodes;
a write step for applying a write pulse to selected data electrodes of the plurality of data electrodes to write an image; and
a discharge sustain step for applying at least one sustain pulse across the pairs of display electrodes after the write step to perform a sustain discharge in discharge cells related to the written image,

wherein the set-up pulse applied during the set-up step has a waveform that rises, or falls, at an average voltage change rate of no greater than 9 V/µs.
