Abstract:
A plasma display panel (PDP) comprising:a front substrate and a rear substrate disposed apart in parallel, wherein a discharge gas is filled there between; an address electrode positioned on said front substrate; a common electrode positioned on said rear substrate and orthogonal to said address electrode; a first scan electrode and a second scan electrode positioned on said rear substrate, said first scan electrode and said second scan electrode respectively at the first side and the second side of said common electrode; a first sustain electrode and a second sustain electrode positioned on said rear substrate, said first sustain electrode and said second sustain electrode respectively at the first side and the second side of said common electrode; wherein said address electrode, said common electrode, said first scan electrode, and said first sustain electrode defines a first pixel unit, and said address electrode, said common electrode, said second scan electrode, and said second sustain electrode defines a second pixel unit; and wherein a priming voltage is applied across said first scan electrode and said common electrode in an erasing period, whether said first pixel unit is in bright status or not is determined by said address electrode and said first scan electrode in an addressing period, a plasma in said first pixel unit is driven by the common electrode, said first scan electrode, said first sustain electrode back and forth so as to sustain said first pixel unit being in bright status.
