Abstract

A driving circuit of a plasma display panel is provided in which a display cell including a first electrode and a second electrode is selected to light up, for applying a first voltage Vs 1 to the first electrode and a second voltage Vs 2 to the second electrode adjacent to the first electrode to cause a sustain discharge between the first and second electrodes. The driving circuit generates a sustain discharge voltage such that, during the sustain discharge between the first and second electrodes, an applied voltage Vc to a third electrode adjacent to the first electrode opposite to the second electrode falls within a range Vs 2 ≦Vc<Vs 1 , and, in this case, when a display cell including the third electrode is selected to light up, the polarity of a wall charge formed on the third electrode becomes positive.

Claims (15)

1. A driving circuit of a plasma display panel having first, second, third and fourth electrodes arranged in parallel to each other, in which the adjacent first and second electrodes constitute a display cell and the adjacent third and fourth electrodes constitute a display cell, wherein:

during said second sustain discharge, applying a voltage Vc, falling within a range Vs 2 ≦Vc<Vs 1 , to said second electrode.

2. A driving circuit of a plasma display panel having first, second, third, and fourth electrodes arranged in parallel to each other, in which the adjacent first and second electrodes constitute a display cell and the adjacent third and fourth electrodes constitute a display cell, wherein:

in advance of a second sustain discharge performed by applying a voltage Vs 1 to said first electrode and applying a voltage Vs 2 , which is lower than Vs 1 , to said second electrode, a first sustain discharge is performed by applying said voltage Vs 2 to said third electrode and applying said voltage Vs 1 to said fourth electrode; and

during said second sustain discharge, applying a voltage Vc, falling within a range Vs 2 ≦Vc<Vs 1 , to said third electrode.

3. A driving circuit of a plasma display panel having first, second, third and fourth electrodes arranged in parallel to each other, in which the adjacent first and second electrodes constitute a display cell and the adjacent third and fourth electrodes constitute a display cell, wherein:

in advance of a second sustain discharge performed by applying a voltage Vs 1 to said second electrode and applying a voltage Vs 2 , which is lower than Vs 1 , to said first electrode, a first sustain discharge is performed by applying said voltage Vs 1 to said third electrode and applying said voltage Vs 2 to said fourth electrode; and

during said second sustain discharge, applying a voltage Vc, falling within a range Vs 2 ≦Vc<Vs 1 , to said third electrode.

4. A driving circuit of a plasma display panel having first, second, third and fourth electrodes arranged in parallel to each other, in which the adjacent first and second electrodes constitute a display cell and the adjacent third and fourth electrodes constitute a display cell, wherein:
