A field emission display apparatus including a field emission display panel and a driving device for the field emission display panel. The driving device includes a power supply unit, the power supply unit including an abnormal current detection unit and a discharge circuit. The abnormal current detection unit generates an arc-current detection signal when the value of a current flowing between a negative anode voltage terminal of the field emission display panel and a common ground line is larger than an upper limit. The discharge circuit generates a short circuit between an anode plate of the field emission display panel and the negative anode voltage terminal when the arc-current detection signal is generated from the abnormal current detection unit.

Abstract:
An electron emission display device and a driving method thereof are disclosed. The device and method limit a brightness thereof in order to reduce power consumption, and adjust a gamma compensation according to a limit width of the brightness to reduce a gamma compensation deviation, causing an increase in a quality of an image. In a pixel portion, a brightness is controlled corresponding to applied voltages of a first electrode and a second electrode and an emission time. An image signal summing section receives and sums image signals by frame periods. A gamma selector selects a gamma based on an output signal of the image signal summing section and compensates for the image signals. A data driver converts the compensated image signals to generate a data signal, and transfers the data signal to the first electrode. A scan driver generates and transfers a scan signal to the second electrode.
Abstract:
A method of driving an EED device can prevent the luminance from being degraded due to the delay of the display data signals applied to the electrode lines. In an EED device in which display data signals having pulse widths according to gray scales are applied to data electrode lines while scan signals are applied to the scan electrode lines intersected with the data electrode lines, the method of driving the EED device is characterized in that the display data signals. applied to the data electrode lines include odd data signals and even data signals, which respectively correspond to an odd scan signal and an even scan signal, and pulses of the odd and even data signals maintain pulse widths according to respective gray scales and are continuous with blanking periods interposed therebetween.
