Abstract
A plasma display panel and a method of driving the same that are capable of improving the discharge efficiency using a direct current type discharge and a radio frequency discharge. In the panel, an address discharge for selecting a display cell is generated by a direct current discharge. A data written into the selected cell is displayed by a radio frequency discharge. The address discharge of direct current type and the radio frequency discharge are allowed to maximize the brightness and the discharge efficiency.
Claims14
A plasma display panel having a plurality of discharge cells arranged in a matrix pattern, first and second substrates arranged oppositely, and a discharge space divided by a barrier rib provided between the first and second substrates, said plasma display panel comprising;
- a direct current discharging electrode part for applying a direct current to cause a writing discharge within the discharge cells, said electrode part having electrodes crossed with each other;
- and
- a radio frequency discharging electrode part for applying a radio frequency voltage to generate a sustaining discharge caused by a radio frequency discharge within the discharge cells.
A plasma display panel, comprising:
- first substrate;
- a second substrate;
- first and second barrier ribs spaced in opposing relation between the first and second substrates;
- a first radio frequency electrode included on the first barrier rib;
- and
- a second radio frequency electrode included on the second barrier rib.
