METHOD FOR DRIVING FIELD EMISSION DISPLAY PANEL TO PREVENT THE EFFECT OF THE RESISTIVE SHORT

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for driving a field emission display panel to prevent the effect of the resistive short is provided to increase the reproducibility of the image to be displayed by preventing the effect of resistive short generated between one of data electrode lines and one of the scan electrode lines from the field emission cells. CONSTITUTION: A method for driving a field emission display panel to prevent the effect of the resistive short includes the steps of: applying a first voltage(GND) to each of the scan electrode lines to be scanned subsequently; applying a second voltage(VSH) having a voltage being larger than that of the first voltage(GND) to the remained all scan electrode lines; applying a third voltage(VDH) to the data electrode lines selected based on each of the scan electrode lines to be scanned; applying a fourth voltage(GND) having a voltage being lower than that of the third voltage(VDH) to the data electrode lines not to be selected. In the method, the voltage of the fourth voltage(GND) applied to the data electrode lines not to be selected is applied to each of the scan electrode lines, subsequently.
