Abstract

Abstract Method for controlling a white balance in a plasma display panel device, is disclosed, including the steps of (1) displaying one frame of gradation on an entire screen of the plasma display panel device, (2) discharging and erasing all cells in the plasma display panel device, (3) addressing all R cells, G cells, or B cells of the entire cells at a time; and (4) providing additional sustain pulses having numbers different from one another to the R cells, G cells and B cells addressed in the step (3) to reduce luminance differences between the R cells, G cells and B cells, thereby providing additional sustain pulses with numbers different from one another in the order of R cell>G cell>B cell to R cells, G cells, B cells after display of one frame of gradation on an entire screen, resulting in significant reduction of luminance differences between the R cells, G cells, B cells caused by provision of identical gradation data thereto, whereby facilitating implementation of a stable white balance and exact colors and has an advantage of improving a brightness of the entire screen.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 101 words
A method for controlling a white balance in a plasma display panel device comprising the steps of: (1) displaying one frame of gradation on an entire screen of the plasma display panel device; (2) discharging and erasing all cells in the plasma display panel device; (3) addressing all R cells, G cells, or B cells of the entire cells at a time; and, (4) providing additional sustain pulses having numbers different from one another to the R cells, G cells and B cells addressed in the step (3) to reduce luminance differences between the R cells, G cells and B cells.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 101 words
A method for controlling a white balance in a plasma display panel device comprising the steps of: (1) displaying one frame of gradation on an entire screen of the plasma display panel device; (2) discharging and erasing all cells in the plasma display panel device; (3) addressing all R cells, G cells, or B cells of the entire cells at a time; and, (4) providing additional sustain pulses having numbers different from one another to the R cells, G cells and B cells addressed in the step (3) to reduce luminance differences between the R cells, G cells and B cells.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 53 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the numbers of the additional sustain pulses provided to the R cells, G cells and B cells in the step (4) are made to be in an order of B cell> R cell> G cell considering luminous efficiency differences among R, G, B fluorescent materials.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 41 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the numbers of the additional sustain pulses provided to the R cells, G cells and B cells in the step (4) are varied to appropriate ratios according to a luminance of the screen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 41 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the numbers of the additional sustain pulses provided to the R cells, G cells and B cells in the step (4) are varied to appropriate ratios according to a contrast of the screen.
