Apparatus of driving plasma display panel

Abstract

A temperature of the plasma display panel is detected by a temperature sensor. An apparatus includes a display panel, a plate disposed adjacent to a rear surface of the panel, and a board disposed substantially parallel to the plate. A temperature sensor is formed on the board, and the temperature sensor is disposed between the plate and the board.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0024]Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus of driving a plasma display panel capable of accurately detecting a temperature of the plasma display panel for a stably driving of the plasma display panel.

[0028]In the apparatus, the molding product uniformly keeps a gap between the heat-proof plate and the substrate.

Problems solved by technology

Recently, various flat panel devices have been developed that reduce weight and bulk, which are drawbacks of the cathode ray tube (CRT).

However, if the related art PDP is operated at a low temperature, then a brightness point erroneous fire occurs.

It has been supposed that such a brightness point erroneous fire occurs because a motion of particles becomes dull at the low temperature.

In other words, a strong discharge entailing an undesired shape of brightness point is generated in the sustain period due to the wall charges formed excessively in the discharge cells.

That is, since the temperature sensor 17 is built in the PCB 18 and detects the temperature of the panel 10, it is impossible to detect an accurate temperature and it is difficult to compensate an error caused by the temperature.
