DISPLAY PANEL HAVING MICROGROOVES AND METHOD OF OPERATION

摘要

A method of driving an AC plasma display (1) by initiating sustain and address discharges to groove sidewalls (4) in the substrate and forming lateral discharges along the groove. A write step applies a pulse to selected first and second electrodes corresponding to cells on a row that will be turned "ON", and an erase step applies a voltage to first (7) and third (11) electrodes corresponding to cells that are to be turned "OFF".
