Steuerverfahren für eine Plasmaanzeigetafel

摘要

There is provided a method for driving a plasma display panel having front and rear substrates opposed to and facing each other, X and Y electrode lines and orthogonal address electrode lines. The X and Y electrode lines are divided into a plurality of groups (XG1, XG2..; YG1, YG2,..) such that no two adjacent pairs of adjacent X and Y electrode lines belong to the same pair of X and Y groups, and the X and Y electrode lines of the respective groups are commonly connected to be driven. At least first and second subfields (SF) are driven in an overlapping manner for displaying gray scales during a unit display period. The method includes the steps of a scan step, an address step, a display step, a second driving step and a repetition step. A reduction in the number of driving devices can be obtained by an AND-logic driving method as a result of the overlap of subfields, and the luminance of light emitted from the plasma display panel can be enhanced by an address-while-display driving method.
