Abstract
A plasma display panel having a reduced number of address electrodes to decrease power consumption while maintaining the same resolution is disclosed. First and second address electrodes are assigned to a pixel comprising three sub-pixels which are near one another. The first address electrode is assigned to two of the three sub-pixels and the second address electrode is assigned to the remaining sub-pixel. As a result, address electrode capacitance is reduced, and accordingly, cross-talk, power consumption, instantaneous power, and heat generation decrease significantly while maintaining the same display resolution.
Claims20
A plasma display panel comprising:
- a plurality of barriers defining a plurality of display regions, the plurality of display regions comprising wider regions and narrower regions, wherein the wider regions and the narrower regions alternate horizontally in rows and alternate vertically in columns, wherein each row of the horizontally alternating wider regions and narrower regions is between adjacent barriers, and the vertically alternating wider regions and narrower regions are separated by the plurality of barriers, and wherein the horizontally alternating wider regions and narrower regions of each row comprises a fluorescent layer of a same color;
- and
- at least one address electrode vertically crossing a column of vertically alternating wider regions and narrower regions, wherein adjacent wider and narrower regions crossed by the address electrode are separated by the plurality of barriers.
A plasma display panel device configured to display first, second and third colors, the device comprising:
- a plurality of barriers defining a plurality of rows of display regions, wherein each row comprises a plurality of alternating wider display regions and narrower display regions configured to collectively emit light of no more than one of the first color, the second color, and the third color;
- and
- a single address electrode arranged such that the single address electrode crosses at least one display region configured to emit light of the first color, at least one display region configured to emit light of the second color, and at least one display region configured to emit light of the third color.
