Abstract:
1. A method for driving a display device based on a frame of data, said frame divided into a reset period, an address period, and a sustain period, the method comprising: applying a first rising waveform to a scan electrode during a first set-up period of the reset period, the first rising waveform applied to the scan electrode while a ground voltage is applied to the sustain electrode; applying a third rising waveform to the scan electrode during a second set-up period of the reset period, the third rising waveform applied to the scan electrode while a fourth rising waveform different from the ground voltage is applied to the sustain electrode; and generating a set-down discharge between the scan and sustain electrodes during a set-down period of the reset period, wherein the third and fourth rising waveforms rise to substantially a same maximum voltage.
