Plasma display panel drive method and apparatus

摘要

A plasma display panel drive art capable of restraining a contour noise in a picture displayed on a PDP and reducing a maximum power consumption. The drive art allows one frame to be consisted of a plurality of sub fields each having a different weighting value for brightness so as to display a video signal of gray scale. The plurality of the sub fields are differently arranged along with a distribution of logical values in the video data for one frame, thereby dividing the one frame into a display interval and a non-display interval. Also, the plurality of the sub fields are equal to sub fields without a sub field having a least weighting value for the brightness.
