DRIVING METHOD FOR GAS DISCHARGE TYPE DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: To secure the pulse width of a constant voltage pulse to be impressed on reset cathodes even though the number of display cathodes are large. CONSTITUTION: This method is the driving method of a gas discharge type display device provided with auxiliary cells performing auxiliary discharge making primming particles being starters of display discharge performed by display cells generate and reset cells performing reset discharge stabilizing auxiliary discharge of auxiliary cells by making primming particles generate. Auxiliary cell resistors are connected to auxiliary cells in series and also reset cell resistors are connected to reset cells in series. During the discharging period of reset discharge auxiliary discharge of at least one part of auxiliary cells is carried out. That is, when the constant voltage pulse having a pulse width τϕ R is impressed on reset cathodes RCs, constant voltage pulses are also impressed on auxiliary cathodes Cn-m to Cn .
