Abstract:
A plasma display and driving method thereof. A median electrode is formed between X and Y electrodes for receiving sustain pulse voltages, and a reset waveform and a scan pulse voltage are applied to the median electrode. A short gap discharge is performed between the X electrode and the median electrode during the initial interval of a sustain interval, and a long gap discharge is performed between the X and Y electrodes during the normal sustain interval to thus perform a stable discharge. The X and Y electrode drivers are realized through comparable circuits since the waveforms applied to the X and Y electrodes are substantially symmetric.

A plasma display panel for preventing a discharging operation in a non-displaying area and thus progressing the contrast ratio according to the present invention is disclosed. The plasma display panel comprises a first substrate and a second substrate which are provided with each of inner faces opposite to each other. Between the first and second substrates, barrier ribs arranged toward a first direction are separated parallel to each other with a space. On the inner face of the first substrate, first electrodes are arranged parallel with each other toward a second direction which is orthogonal with the first direction. In addition, dot type second electrodes, which are connected with a pair of first electrodes and are exposed to a space between the pair of first electrodes, are arranged on the inner face of the first substrate. Between the barrier ribs on the inner face of the second substrate, there are placed third electrodes which are arranged parallel with the first direction. Here, a unit cell is defined as an area which is limited by the barrier ribs and includes a pair of first electrode.
