<p>A gas panel display apparatus is operative to write, sustain and erase information selectively. Each line of the gas panel is associated with a plurality of segments and, during a sustain sequence, the line drivers are cycled so that only one segment at a time is in a sustain sense while any other segments associated with the line are neutral. The line driver peak current specification is thus reduced below the maximum number of lines that a given line crosses. Additionally, the lines are driven during a sustain sequence so that only every other cell along the line is undergoing a sustain sense while the remaining cells are neutral. Thus, each cell in the panel in a sustain state is electrostatically shielded by the orthogonally adjacent neutral cells.</p> |
