Abstract
In a method for driving a plasma display panel, one field time is divided to a plurality of sub-field times having different light emitting times each other. At least one of the sub-field time is longer than others to have a light emitting time longer than the other sub-field times. In each sub-field time, a state is selected from a light emission state and a non-light emission state to provide a predetermined gradation of an image to be displayed without decreasing light efficiency.

Method and apparatus for modulating an incident light beam for forming a two-dimensional image

TL;DR: In this article, a light beam incident to a column of adjacent reflecting surfaces is reflected from a group of elongated elements when the alternate ones are undeformed and diffracted when the alternative ones are deformed.

Method of driving alternating current type plasma display panel

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose to increase the number of lines and enable stable writing while leaving an access time unchanged by increasing number of maintaining pulses in one cycle of a period of only maintaining pulses.

Method and apparatus for energizing the cells of a plasma display panel to selected brightness levels

TL;DR: In this paper, the average number of sustain cycles over which a particular cell remains in the temporary ON state, and thus its perceived brightness, is controlled by controlling the intra-sustain-cycle time occurrence of the write pulses applied thereto.

Halftone display system for memory type display panel

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to improve brightness by setting a minimum erasure period depending on a characteristic of a display panel in succession to the consecutive period, setting the length of each sub-field and increasing the total consecutive period in the field.

Driving method for gas discharge display panel

TL;DR: In this article, the on-off control conforming to the prescribed display data is executed twice with each of the lines within one frame period in case of displaying four stages of the brightness levels; brightness 0-brightness 3 The respective lines are subjected to the light emission (discharge) only in the periods; zero, period (a), period (b), period(b), and period (e+b) by two times of the addressing.
