Abstract: The present invention relates to a status detector for a power supply, a power supply, and an initial characteristic extracting device for use with the power supply, each of which can detect the status of an electricity accumulating unit (200) with high accuracy by sequentially modifying characteristic information necessary for the status detection of the electricity accumulating unit (200). A measuring unit (300) obtains measured values of at least current, voltage and temperature of the electricity accumulating unit (200). A processing unit (110) executes status detection of the electricity accumulating unit (200) by using the measured values and the characteristic information of the electricity accumulating unit (200) which is stored in a memory unit (130). A discrepancy detecting unit (120) detects the presence of a discrepancy away from a theoretical value when a result of the status detection obtained by the processing unit (110) is changed over a predetermined threshold or reversed with respect to the measured values obtained by the measuring unit (300). A modifying unit (140) modifies the characteristic information stored in the memory unit (130) depending on the discrepancy detected by the discrepancy detecting unit (120).

Abstract: A plasma display panel according to an aspect of the present invention includes a scan electrode and a sustain electrode formed on an upper substrate in parallel with each other, a first barrier rib formed on a lower substrate opposing the upper substrate in parallel with the scan electrode, and a second barrier rib formed in the direction intersecting the first barrier rib, wherein the scan electrode or the sustain electrode comprises at least two or more bus electrodes, at least one of the bus electrodes is formed to be superposed onto the first barrier rib. Therefore, there is an advantage that the brightness is increased, since the area of portions of the bus electrode formed on the discharge space is small and thus the aperture ratio is raised. In addition, the boundary image sticking phenomenon and luminescent spot phenomenon in the non-discharge cell by cross-talk with neighboring cells can be reduced, since the area of portions of the electrode superposed onto the first barrier rib is also decreased. Therefore there are effects that it is possible to improve the discharge efficiency and display images with sharper and clearer image quality.
