PLASMA DISPLAY AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME

摘要

In a plasma display device, first discharges and second discharges are induced by one sustain pulse (Psu), thereby improving the luminous efficiency of discharge cells. The first discharges are induced upon raising a voltage to a maximal value Vpu due to LC resonance by a recovery coil L and a panel capacitance Cp. The second discharges are induced upon connecting, when the voltage is lowered from the maximal value Vpu to Vpb, the panel capacitance Cp to the power supply to raise the voltage to Vsus.
