<p>An improved row selecting and driving system for a self-shift type gas discharge panel for providing a multi-row display in a plurality of shift rows. The shift row is composed of at least one shift channel having a regular arrangement of a plurality of discharge cells, each said discharge cell comprising opposing electrode groups of 2x2 or more phases. A shift voltage is sequentially applied to the electrode groups of a selected shift row for shifting discharge spots in that row in one direction. At the same time, a shift voltage having a different sequence of voltages from that for said selected shift row is applied to the electrode group of the non-selected shifting rows, in a sway shift operation performed within a predetermined spatial period of the cell arrangement to hold said discharge spot in said cell arrangement period. The driving system can equalize the operation margin in all of the selected and non-selected shift rows, and as a result, display quality can be improved.</p> |
