A CONTINUOUS ILLUMINATION PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL

摘要

A three electrode plasma display panel (PDP) operates in concurrent sustain (26) and addressing (24) periods, rather than separating the sustain and addressing periods (26 and 24). Because of this concurrent operation, a PDP with a brighter display is produced. Crosstalk between sustain electrodes and the column electrodes of non-selected rows is mitigated by implementing column voltages such that there is no difference in crosstalk brightness level in non-addressed pixels in the on state compared to non-addressed pixels in the off state. This is accomplished by choosing column voltages that are approximately symmetric about one-half of the sustain voltage.
