METHOD FOR DRIVING DC TYPE PLASMA DISPLAY PANNEL, AND PANNEL

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a method capable of preventing the service life of a DC- PDP from being lowered due to write current. CONSTITUTION:In the case of driving a DC type plasma display pannel constituted so that a first substrate provided with plural pieces of scanning electrodes and a second substrate provided with plural data electrodes are disposed to face oppositely with a prescribed gap and a discharged gas is sealed in the gap by applying a signal incorporating a maintenance pulse for maintaining discharge and a write pulse based on the light emission data to the data electrodes, and applying the signal incorporating a scanning pulse and an erase pulse for erasing the discharge to the scanning electrodes, the write pulse is applied by constant current drive, A write pulse generation circuit 40 for applying the write pulse by the constant current drive is connected to the data electrodes to apply the write pulse to the corresponding data electrode from the circuit 40.
