PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL DRIVE METHOD AND PLASMA DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

One-field period is formed by a plurality of sub-fields, each having an initialization period, a write period, and a sustaining period. During the initialization periods of the sub-fields, all-cell initialization is performed to cause all the discharge cells performing image display to generate initialization discharge or selective initialization operation is performed to cause the discharge cells which have generated sustaining discharge at the sub-field immediately before, to selectively generate initialization discharge. The time assigned for the sub-field write discharge performing the all-cell initialization operation is set shorter than the time assigned for sub-field write discharge performing selective initialization operation. With this configuration, it is possible to provide a plasma display panel drive method and a plasma display panel device capable of performing image display with a preferable quality while suppressing the increase of the black luminance.
