Abstract
An AC plasma display panel includes a plurality of parallel scan electrodes and a plurality of parallel sustain electrodes. Each of sustain electrodes is extended parallel to scan electrodes. Scan and sustain electrodes are positioned alternately so that each one of scan and sustain electrodes positions adjacent to and paired with the other of scan and sustain electrodes. Also, the panel includes a plurality of parallel data electrodes. The data electrodes extend substantially perpendicular to scan and sustain electrodes. Scan and sustain electrodes are applied with a certain current so that an electromagnetic noise generated in the electrodes can be cancelled by another.
Claims8
An AC plasma display panel, comprising:
- a plurality of discharge cells, said plurality of discharge cells being arranged in a matrix made of plurality of rows and columns, wherein each of said discharge cells includes two pairs of scan and sustain electrodes extending in one direction and a data electrode extending substantially perpendicular to said one direction,
- means for applying a certain current to said scan and sustain electrodes so that said current in one of said two pairs flows in one direction and said current in the other of said two pairs flows in the opposite direction.
