METHOD FOR DRIVING A GAS DISCHARGE PANEL

摘要

An AC driving surface discharge display panel has a matrix arrangement of a plurality of display dots each of which comprises a pair of display cell and selection cell. Firstly, all display cells on a selected line are simultaneously fired, by applying a firing voltage between pairing parallel display electrodes defining said display cell line. Next, a discharge information stored unwanted display cell among said fired display cell line is selectively erased by discharging an adjacent pairing selection cell. An address sequence of the present invention comprising the line firing step and selective erasing step is performed with wide operation margin.
