Abstract:
1. A driving method for a plasma display panel (PDP), said PDP comprising a plurality of first common electrodes, a plurality of second common electrodes, a plurality of scanning electrodes, a plurality of data electrodes, and a plurality of pixel units, wherein the pixel units belonging to a row of odd number are odd pixel units and are defined by said second common electrodes and said scanning electrodes, the pixel units belonging to a row of even number are even pixel units and are defined by said first common electrodes and said scanning electrodes, wherein said pixel units are disposed in a delta arrangement, and said odd pixel units and said even pixel units are arranged alternately, and image data of said pixel units is inputted by said data electrodes, said driving method comprising: (a) processing a reset operation, providing an odd-field address period and sequentially making each of voltage differences between said second common electrodes and the corresponding scanning electrodes larger than a discharge threshold voltage, and selectively inputting the image data to said data electrodes; (b) providing an odd-field sustaining-discharge period, and inputting a first sustaining discharge pulse and a second sustaining discharge pulse, which are out of phase to each other, respectively to said scanning electrodes and said second common electrodes; (c) processing the reset operation, providing an even-field address period and sequentially making each of voltage differences between said first common electrodes and said scanning electrodes larger than the discharge threshold voltage, and selectively inputting the image data to said data electrodes; and (d) providing an even-field sustaining-discharge period and inputting a third sustaining discharge pulse and a fourth sustaining discharge pulse, which are out of phase to each other, respectively to said scanning electrodes and said first common electrodes.
