Patent ID: 7477211

Claim:
A driver for a plasma display panel comprising a sustain circuit designed to deliver a first sustain pulse signal to the sustain electrodes of the cells of the said display and a second sustain pulse signal to the address-sustain electrodes of the display, said sustain circuit comprising a first switch connected between a first connector accessing the sustain electrodes of the display cells and a power supply terminal receiving the peak voltage of said first and second sustain pulse signals, a second switch connected between said first access connector and ground, a third switch connected between a second connector accessing the address-sustain electrodes of the display cells and said power supply terminal and a fourth switch connected between said second access connector and ground, wherein said driver is mounted on a single board and in that said first and fourth switches, and similarly said second and third switches, are disposed next to one another in order to reduce the size of the current loops during the sustain of the display cells.
