Abstract
A plasma display panel (PDP) comprises a front substrate, a rear substrate, an addressing electrode, a common electrode, a first scan electrode, a second scan electrode, a first sustain electrode, and a second sustain electrode. The front substrate and a rear substrate are disposed apart in parallel, wherein a gas is filled there between. The addressing electrode positioned on the front substrate and the common electrode is positioned on the rear substrate and is orthogonal to the address electrode. The first scan electrode and the second scan electrode are positioned on the rear substrate, and are respectively at the first side and the second side of the common electrode. The first sustain electrode and the second sustain electrode are positioned on the rear substrate, and are respectively at the first side and the second side of the common electrode. A first pixel unit is defined by the address electrode, the common electrode, the first scan electrode, and the first sustain electrode. A second pixel unit is defined by the address electrode, the common electrode, the second scan electrode, and the second sustain electrode. A priming voltage is applied across the first scan electrode and the common electrode in an erasing period. Whether the first pixel unit is in bright status or not is determined by the address electrode and the first scan electrode in an addressing period. A plasma in the first pixel unit is driven by the first scan electrode, the first sustain electrode back and forth so as to sustain the bright status.
