Abstract:
A plasma display, comprising:a plasma display panel in which first, second, and third electrodes are arranged alternately and in parallel to one another on a first substrate, and fourth electrodes are arranged orthogonally to, and separated by a dielectric layer from, said first, second and third electrodes;a first electrode selection driving circuit selectively driving said first electrodes;a second electrode driving circuit driving said second electrodes;a third electrode driving circuit driving said third electrodes;first display cells formed at intersection between said first electrodes, said second electrodes and said fourth electrodes, second display cells formed at intersections between said first electrodes, said third electrodes and said fourth electrodes and third cells formed between said second electrodes and said third electrodes;said first display cells and said second display cells alternately and repeatedly undergoing glow discharges to produce an interlaced display; andduring a reset period, said second electrode driving circuit and said third electrode driving circuit applying voltages to said second and third electrodes, respectively, to induce priming discharges in said third cells.
