Abstract
A plasma display panel that is adaptive for shortening an address interval. The PDP is provided with first and second sustaining electrode lines making each row line, and first and second address electrode lines making each column line. The first and second address electrode lines are alternately overlapped with an insulating material as the row lines are progressed.
Claims18
A plasma display panel having cells formed at each intersecting position between N row lines and M column lines wherein N and M are integers, comprising:
- first and second sustaining electrode lines forming each row line;
- first and second address electrode lines for a plurality of cells in each single column line;
- and
- insulating material patterns formed in such a manner to be alternately superposed on the first and second address electrode lines as the row lines are progressed, wherein the insulating material patterns prevent generation of a discharge when a data pulse is applied to the first and second address electrode lines at those portions of the first and second electrode lines covered by the insulating patterns.
A method of driving a plasma display panel having cells formed at each intersecting position between first and second sustaining electrode lines forming a single row line and first and second address electrode lines for a plurality of cells in each single column line, the method comprising:
- simultaneously generating an address discharge at two row lines by applying a data pulse to the first and second address electrode lines for a single column of cells simultaneously, wherein an insulating layer is alternatively formed on either of the first and second address electrode lines in each cell so that the address discharge is generated only in the address electrode line on which the insulating layer is not formed;
- and
- synchronizing a voltage pulse with the data pulse to be applied to any one of the first and second sustaining electrode lines.
A plasma display panel having a plurality of discharge cells, comprising:
- first and second sustaining electrode lines extending in a first direction;
- first and second address electrode lines extending in a second direction and forming a single discharge cell at an intersection of the first and second address electrode lines with the first and second sustaining electrode lines;
- and
- insulating material patterns formed in such a manner to be alternately superposed on the first and second address electrode lines as the lines are progressed, wherein the insulating material patterns prevent generation of a discharge when a data pulse is applied to the first and second address electrode lines at those portions of the first and second electrode lines covered by the insulating patterns.
A plasma display panel having a plurality of discharge cells, comprising:
- first and second sustaining electrode lines extending in a first direction;
- and
- first and second address electrode lines extending in a second direction and forming a single discharge cell at an intersection of the first and second address electrode lines with the first and second sustaining electrode lines, wherein the first and second address electrode lines are driven to simultaneously address cells for each of two row lines and wherein an insulating layer is alternatively formed on either of the first and second address electrode lines in each cell so that the address discharge is generated only on the address electrode line on which the insulating layer is not formed.
