Abstract:
A plasma addressed display device comprising:a flat panel having plasma cells having scanning electrodes in a row configuration and display cells having signal electrodes in a column configuration, said plasma and display cells being superimposed together, a scanning circuit for sequentially applying selection pulses to said scanning electrodes to scan said display cells, and a signal circuit for supplying picture data to said signal electrodes in synchronism with said scanning to write picture data from one scanning line to another, wherein at least two scanning lines are formed in a same discharge channel in the plasma cells, and wherein the signal circuit writes picture data of a positive polarity to the same discharge channel and writes picture data of a negative polarity to a subsequent discharge channel so as to effect AC driving of the display cells, and writes picture data of which luminance is corrected to a backward side scanning line of at least two scanning lines formed in each discharge channel.
