Abstract

A plasma display device is provided including: an ambient temperature detector which detects an ambient temperature; a display load factor detector which detects a display load factor; a sustain pulse number determiner which determines a sustain pulse number based on the ambient temperature and the display load factor; and a plasma display panel which performs display according to the determined sustain pulse number.

Claims (45)

1 . A plasma display device comprising:

an ambient temperature detector detecting an ambient temperature;

a display load factor detector detecting a display load factor;

a sustain pulse number determiner determining a sustain pulse number based on the ambient temperature and the display load factor; and

a plasma display panel performing display according to the determined sustain pulse number.

2 . The plasma display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when the ambient temperatures T 1 and T 2 have a relation of T 1 <T 2 under the same display load factor, said sustain pulse number determiner determines the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the ambient temperature is T 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the ambient temperature is T 2 has a relation of N 1 >N 2 .

3 . The plasma display device according to claim 2 , further comprising

a display position detector detecting a difference in display position,

wherein, when the differences ΔP 1 and ΔP 2 in the display position have a relation of ΔP 1 >ΔP 2 under the same display load factor, said sustain pulse number determiner determines the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the difference in the display position is ΔP 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the difference in the display position is ΔP 2 have a relation of N 1 >N 2 .

4 . The plasma display device according to claim 2 , further comprising

a display time detector detecting a display time regarding each of the display load factors,

wherein, when the display times S 1 and S 2 have a relation of S 1 <S 2 under the same display load factor, said sustain pulse number determiner determines the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the display time is S 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the display time is S 2 have a relation of N 1 >N 2 .

5 . The plasma display device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a display position detector detecting a difference in display position; and

a display time detector detecting a display time regarding each of the display load factors,

wherein, when the differences ΔP 1 and ΔP 2 in the display position have a relation of ΔP 1 >ΔP 2 and the display times S 1 and S 2 have a relation of S 1 <S 2 under the same display load factor, said sustain pulse number determiner determines the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the difference in the display position is ΔP 1 and the display time is S 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the difference in the display position is Δ 2 and the display time is S 2 have a relation of N 1 >N 2 .

6 . The plasma display device according to claim 2 , further comprising

an air volume calculator calculating an air volume of a fan,

wherein, when the air volumes W 1 and W 2 have a relation of W 1 >W 2 under the same display load factor, said sustain pulse number determiner determines the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the air volume is W 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the air volume is W 2 have a relation of N 1 >N 2 .

7 . The plasma display device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a filter provided directly on or in front of a front surface of said plasma display panel,

wherein a temperature of a front surface of said filter is kept not lower than the ambient temperature nor higher than 70° C.

8 . A processing method of a plasma display device comprising:

detecting an ambient temperature;

detecting a display load factor;

determining a sustain pulse number based on the ambient temperature and the display load factor; and

performing display on a plasma display panel according to the determined sustain pulse number.

9 . The processing method of the plasma display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein, when the ambient temperatures T 1 and T 2 have a relation of T 1 <T 2 under the same display load factor, the sustain pulse number is determined in said determination of the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the ambient temperature is T 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the ambient temperature is T 2 has a relation of N 1 >N 2 .

10 . The processing method of the plasma display device according to claim 9 , further comprising

detecting a difference in display position,

wherein, when the differences ΔP 1 and ΔP 2 in the display position have a relation of ΔP 1 >ΔP 2 under the same display load factor, the sustain pulse number is determined in said determination of the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the difference in the display position is ΔP 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the difference in the display position is ΔP 2 have a relation of N 1 >N 2 .

11 . The processing method of the plasma display device according to claim 9 , further comprising

detecting a display time regarding each of the display load factors,

wherein, when the display times S 1 and S 2 have a relation of S 1 <S 2 under the same display load factor, the sustain pulse number is determined in said determination of the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the display time is S 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the display time is S 2 have a relation of N 1 >N 2 .

12 . The processing method of the plasma display device according to claim 9 , further comprising:

detecting a difference in display position; and

detecting a display time regarding each of the display load factors,

wherein, when the differences ΔP 1 and ΔP 2 in the display position have a relation of ΔP 1 >ΔP 2 and the display times S 1 and S 2 have a relation of S 1 <S 2 under the same display load factor, the sustain pulse number is determined in said determination of the sustain pulse number in a manner that a sustain pulse number N 1 when the difference in the display position is ΔP 1 and the display time is S 1 and a sustain pulse number N 2 when the difference in the display position is ΔP 2 and the display time is S 2 have a relation of N 1 >N 2 .
