- FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of sustain pulse generating units 100 and 200 of the image display device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
- Sustain pulse generator 100 includes power recovery unit 110 and clamp unit 120. Power is also composed.
- the power recovery unit 110 includes a power recovery capacitor C10, switching elements Qll, Q12, backflow prevention diodes Dll, D12, and a power recovery inductor L10.
- the clamp unit 120 includes a power supply VS having a voltage value Vs (V), and switching elements Q13 and Q14.
- the power recovery unit 110 and the clamp unit 120 are connected to the scan electrode 4 which is one end of the interelectrode capacitance Cp of the panel 1 via a scan pulse generation circuit. Note that the scan pulse generation circuit is not shown in FIG.
- Capacitor C10 has a sufficiently large capacitance compared to the interelectrode capacitance Cp, has a voltage value charged to approximately VsZ2 (V), and functions as a power source for power recovery unit 110.
- the sustain pulse generator 200 has the same circuit configuration as the sustain pulse generator 100, and includes a power recovery capacitor C20, switching elements Q21 and Q22, backflow prevention diodes D21 and D22, and a power recovery inductor L20.
- the power recovery unit 210 has a power supply VS, a clamp unit 220 having switching elements Q23 and Q24, and the output of the sustain pulse generator 200 is connected to the sustain electrode 5 which is the other end of the interelectrode capacitance of the panel 1. Talk!
- Sustain discharge is performed using two types of sustain pulses of the second sustain pulse.
- FIG. 6 is a timing chart showing details of the first sustain pulse in the first embodiment of the present invention.
- one period of the first sustain pulse is divided into eight periods indicated by T1 to T8 in FIG. 6, and each period will be described.
- the sustain pulse applied to scan electrode 4 and the sustain pulse applied to sustain electrode 5 have the same waveform but different phases, so the operation from period ⁇ 5 to period ⁇ 8 is the operation from period T1 to period ⁇ 4.
- the operation is the same as the operation in which the scan electrode 4 and the sustain electrode 5 are interchanged, and the description thereof is omitted.
- switching element Q12 is turned ON. Then, the charge on the scan electrode 4 side starts to flow to the capacitor C10 through the inductor L10, the diode D12, and the switching element Q12, and the voltage on the scan electrode 4 starts to drop.
- inductor L10 and interelectrode capacitance Cp form a resonance circuit, scanning is performed at time t3 after the elapse of 1Z2 of the resonance period. The voltage at electrode 4 drops to near 0 (V).
- switching element Q21 is turned ON. Then, current begins to flow from the power recovery capacitor C20 through the switching element Q21, the diode D21, and the inductor L20, and the voltage of the sustain electrode 5 begins to rise. Again, since the inductor L20 and the interelectrode capacitance Cp form a resonance circuit, the voltage of the sustain electrode 5 rises to near Vs (V) at time t4 after the elapse of 1Z2 of the resonance period.
- the voltage of scan electrode 4 decreases to near O (V). However, due to power loss such as the resistance component of the resonant circuit, the voltage of scan electrode 4 does not drop to O (V). At time t3, switching element Q14 is turned on. Then, since scan electrode 4 is directly grounded through switching element Q14, the voltage of scan electrode 4 is forcibly reduced to 0 (V). At this time, the voltage of the sustain electrode 5 also rises sufficiently and exceeds the discharge start voltage in the discharge cell in which the address discharge has occurred. Therefore, the decrease in the voltage of the scan electrode 4 becomes a bow I metal and the first discharge is generated.
- the current required for the discharge exceeds the current supply capability of the power recovery unit 210 on the sustain electrode side, and the first discharge begins to weaken. As a result, the amount of ultraviolet radiation emitted with respect to the discharge current is not saturated, and the luminous efficiency is improved.
- switching element Q23 is turned ON. Then, since sustain electrode 5 is directly connected to power supply VS through switching element Q 23, the voltage of sustain electrode 5 is forcibly increased to Vs (V). Then, the voltage rise at this time triggers, and the second discharge is generated. Since the second discharge is generated while sufficient priming from the first discharge remains, the discharge is stable. Also, during the second discharge, the scan electrode 4 is connected to the ground potential, and the sustain electrode 5 is connected to the power source VS, so that the discharge current is not limited and the discharge is sufficiently strong. Necessary wall voltage can be accumulated.
- the second discharge improves the luminous efficiency because the discharge is performed in a state where the effective voltage applied to the discharge space is relaxed by the first discharge, that is, in a state where the voltage is relatively low.
- Switching element Q12 may be turned off after time t3 and before time t6.
- Switching element Q21 may be turned off after time t4 and before time t5.
- switching element Q14 is preferably turned off immediately before time t6, and switching element Q23 is preferably turned off immediately before time t5.
- the time interval between the first discharge peak and the second discharge peak be 50 ns or more.
- the time interval between the first discharge peak and the second discharge peak is preferably 400 ns or less.
- the time interval between the peak of the first discharge and the peak of the second discharge be 50 ns or more and 400 ns or less. Furthermore, if the time interval between the two discharge peaks is set to 100 ns or more and 250 ns or less, the luminous efficiency of the first discharge can be increased to the maximum, and the luminous efficiency of the second discharge can be sufficiently increased. Can do.
- the repetition period of the sustain pulse is set to 5.4 / zs
- the time interval between the two discharge peaks is set to 150 ns
- the resonance period 1Z2 of the power recovery units 110 and 210 is set to about 900 ns. .
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an applied voltage waveform of the first sustain pulse and an actual measurement value of the emission intensity at that time.
- the measured values of the applied voltage waveform at the electrode terminal portions of scan electrode 4 and sustain electrode 5 are different from the voltage waveforms shown in FIG.
- the rise time of the sustain pulse appears to be greatly delayed from t2 or t6.
- the interelectrode capacitance Cp is driven simultaneously from both the scanning electrode 4 side and the sustaining electrode 5 side, so that the voltage that changes first is changed.
- the change in the drive waveform on the electrode side which is pulled by the drive waveform on the pole side and the voltage changes later, appears to be delayed.
- the first discharge is stably generated at time t3 or time t7 after the discharge start voltage is exceeded! As described above, since the first discharge is generated after the voltage between the display electrodes of the discharge cells to be sustained discharge exceeds the discharge start voltage between the display electrodes, it is generated between the data electrodes and the scanning electrode. It can be seen that this is not a discharge but a sustain discharge that occurs between the display electrodes. After 150 ns, the second discharge is stably generated.
- the second sustain pulse for stabilizing the wall voltage and maintaining the sustain discharge stably is the first sustain pulse. Is inserted in the column. Then, every time the first sustain pulse is continuously applied a predetermined number of times to at least one of the display electrodes, the second sustain pulse is inserted and applied.
- FIG. 8 is a timing chart showing details of the second sustain pulse in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
- the second sustain pulse has the effect of stabilizing the wall voltage just by inserting it at a rate of once per several times of the first sustain pulse. Therefore, the second sustain pulse is equivalent to one pulse on the sustain electrode side. The same effect can be obtained even if the second sustain pulse described below is inserted on the scanning electrode side as being inserted.
- switching element Q12 is turned ON. Then, the charge on the scan electrode 4 side starts to flow to the capacitor C10 through the inductor L10, the diode D12, and the switching element Q12, and the voltage on the scan electrode 4 starts to drop.
- inductor L10 and interelectrode capacitance Cp form a resonance circuit, scanning is performed at time t3 after the elapse of 1Z2 of the resonance period. The voltage at electrode 4 drops to near 0 (V).
- switching element Q21 is turned ON. Then, current begins to flow from the power recovery capacitor C20 through the switching element Q21, the diode D21, and the inductor L20, and the voltage of the sustain electrode 5 begins to rise. Again, since the inductor L20 and the interelectrode capacitance Cp form a resonance circuit, the voltage of the sustain electrode 5 rises to around Vs (V) after the time of 1Z2 of the resonance period has elapsed. The process up to this point is the same as the first sustain pulse.
- the difference between the second sustain pulse and the first sustain pulse is that switching element Q23 and switching element Q14 are turned on before sustain discharge is generated between scan electrode 4 and sustain electrode 5.
- switching element Q23 is turned on without waiting until time t4. That is, at time t3, switching element Q14 is turned on and switching element Q23 is turned on.
- scan electrode 4 is directly grounded through switching element Q14, so the voltage of scan electrode 4 is forcibly lowered to 0 (V).
- switching element Q23 is turned on, so that sustain electrode 5 is directly connected to power supply VS through switching element Q23, and the voltage of sustain electrode 5 is forcibly increased to Vs (V).
- the voltage drop of the scan electrode 4 and the voltage rise of the sustain electrode 5 are triggered, and the discharge cell that has caused the address discharge exceeds the discharge start voltage and generates a sustain discharge.
- the sustain discharge is very strong and the Norse duration (time period T4 ′ in FIG. 8) is long, so that wall charges that can relax the electric field inside the discharge cell are accumulated. Therefore, even if the wall voltage varies for some reason, the wall voltage can be stabilized by generating a discharge using the second sustain pulse.
- switching element Q12 may be turned off after time t3 and before time t6.
- Switching element Q21 may be turned off after time t3 and before time t5.
- switching element Q14 is preferably turned off immediately before time t6, and switching element Q23 is preferably turned off immediately before time t5.
- the timing for controlling switching element Q21 and switching element Q23 is The switching element Q23 and the switching element Q14 may be turned on before the sustain discharge is generated between the scan electrode 4 and the sustain electrode 5, which is not limited to the above.
- FIGS. 9A and 9B are timing charts showing the second sustain pulse in another embodiment.

Shows the case. By controlling in this way, the pulse duration is further increased and the wall voltage can be further stabilized.
- Fig. 9B shows that switching element Q12 is turned on at the same time as switching element Q21 is turned on, and switching element Q14 is turned on at the same time as switching element Q23 is turned on, but a sustain discharge occurs. Before generating, turn ON switching element Q23 and switching element Q14. Sustain pulses with other timings are also possible. Even in the case of 1 SV deviation, switching element Q23 and switching element Q14 are connected before sustain discharge is generated between scan electrode 4 and sustain electrode 5. Therefore, the sustain discharge by the second sustain pulse is one strong discharge unlike the discharge by the first sustain pulse.
- the first sustain pulse in Embodiment 1 of the present invention first causes the voltage of one display electrode to be forcibly reduced to 0 (V) to generate the first discharge, and then the other
- the voltage of the display electrode is forcibly increased to Vs (V) to generate the second discharge, but first the voltage of one display electrode is forcibly increased to Vs (V) to The first discharge may be generated, and then the voltage of the other display electrode may be forcibly reduced to 0 (V) to generate the second discharge.
- the first sustain pulse that can stably generate two continuous discharges and the sustain discharge by stabilizing the wall voltage are provided. Sustain discharge is performed using two types of sustain pulses, the second sustain pulse, which continues the operation more stably.
- the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the ratio of the second sustain pulse inserted into the first sustain pulse train is controlled in accordance with the image signal to be displayed. . That is, the first sustain pulse is continuously applied to the display electrode a predetermined number of times. After marking, a second sustain pulse is inserted, and the predetermined number of times is controlled according to the image signal.
- FIG. 10 is a circuit block diagram of the image display device in the present embodiment. Circuit blocks similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. In FIG. 10, a lighting rate detection circuit 24 is added.
- the lighting rate detection circuit 24 calculates the lighting rate for each subfield based on the image signal sig, that is, the ratio of the discharge cells that generate the sustain discharge.
- the timing generation circuit 25 controls the drive voltage waveform based on the horizontal synchronization signal H, the vertical synchronization signal V, and the lighting rate signal output from the lighting rate detection circuit 24. Specifically, the lighting rate is high, and the ratio of the second sustain pulse inserted into the first sustain pulse train is high in the subfield.
- FIG. 11A, FIG. 11B, and FIG. 11C are diagrams schematically showing sustain pulses of the image display device in Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
- the pulse ratio of the second sustain pulse is 0, when the lighting rate is 5% to 20%, the same pulse rate power SlZ6, and when the lighting rate is 20% to 50%, the same pulse is used.
- the pulse ratio is controlled to be 1Z3.
- the sustain discharge using the first sustain pulse two discharges with high luminous efficiency can be stably generated.
- the second sustain pulse By inserting the second sustain pulse into the first sustain pulse train, even if the wall voltage on the display electrode varies for some reason, the wall voltage is stabilized, so that The sustain discharge can be continued stably.
- the ratio of the second sustain pulse increases as the lighting rate increases, the probability that the wall voltage will decrease is low!
- the ratio of the first pulse is increased.
- the wall voltage is stabilized by increasing the ratio of the second pulse, so that it can be driven with the optimum sustain pulse according to the image signal.
- the present invention is useful as an image display device that can improve luminous efficiency by stably generating two continuous discharges.
