Abstract:
A plasma display panel includes scan electrode lines, sustain electrode lines and data electrode lines formed within a display area. A common electrode line is formed along a side of the device at a non-display area and is commonly connected to the sustain electrode lines. A first pad portion is formed at a non-display area on a side of the device, and wires carrying scan signals are connected to the scan electrode lines at the first pad portion. A second pad portion is also formed at a non-display area on either a side edge, an upper edge or a bottom edge of the device, and a conductive path carries a sustain signal to the common line through the second pad portion.

Abstract:
In many cases it is not possible to reproduce enough video levels on a PDP due to timing issues or a specific solution against the false contour effect. In such cases dithering is used to render all required levels. In order to reduce the visibility of the dithering noise there is performed a common change of the sub-field organization together with a modification of the input video data through an appropriate transformation curve based on the human visual system luminance sensitivity (Weber-Fechner law).

Abstract:
Provided is a technology related to a PDP apparatus and capable of realizing the efficiency improvement in the processing of a control circuit including the processing between a control circuit (waveform generating circuit unit) and a non-volatile memory (waveform ROM). In a control circuit of a PDP apparatus, an SFM (serial flash memory) is used as a non-volatile memory, and waveform decoding data and a waveform decoding address set are stored as a first waveform in the SFM. An LSI (waveform generating circuit LSI) stores the data from the waveform decoding data in a first SRAM in an internal SRAM unit and stores the data corresponding to one reading cycle (for example one SF) selected from the waveform decoding address set in a second SRAM in the internal SRAM unit.

Disclosed herein are an apparatus for driving a plasma display panel in which the capability to represent the gray scale can be improved, and method thereof. The apparatus includes an inverse gamma control block for performing an inverse gamma correction process on input data received from the outside by using two or more gamma values, and a select unit for outputting one of two or more output data on which the inverse gamma correction operation is performed, which is outputted from the inverse gamma control block. Therefore, the capability to represent the gray scale can be improved. Furthermore, an error diffusion pattern and pseudo noise can be reduced and the picture quality can be thus improved.
Abstract:
A panel driving apparatus including an address power controller for blocking an address power source of at least two capacitors and coupling the panel capacitors during a period between a scan line signal and a next scan line signal, so that the panel capacitors share electric charges, and an address driver for generating display data in response to an address signal by performing a switching operation. Electric charges that are charged in a previous address electrode line and could be discarded to a ground terminal at a next address electrode line are shared between the panel capacitors, thus reducing power consumption and improving power efficiency during an addressing operation.

A method and apparatus for displaying an image on a plasma display panel. Each of a plurality of subfields has three consecutive subfield groups in time order, and the luminance weight of the subfields in a second subfield group among the three subfield groups is set to be smaller than the luminance weight of a lowermost subfield in the first subfield group and the luminance weight of a lowermost subfield in the third subfield group. Further, the starting positions of the second subfield group and the third subfield group in time order change according to the load ratio of the image signal.
