Embodiment
In order to clearly demonstrate preferred embodiment of the present invention, below be example with two kinds of different electrode spread orders between scan electrode and common electrode with the address scan direction earlier, the excessive reason of flash-over characteristic difference that causes each scanning area is described.At first define the dummy suffix notation among several diagrams, scan electrode is defined as X, and common electrode is defined as Y, and addressing electrode is defined by W, and ion is defined as i, and electronics is defined as e.
It shown in Fig. 2 A a kind of synoptic diagram that in scanning area, scan electrode and common electrode is carried out addressing direction (by the X electrode to the scanning of Y electrode), this scanning area 200 has vertical bar shape barrier rib (not illustrating among the figure), and its address scan direction of carrying out addressing is by the past common electrode Y of scan electrode X.Flash-over characteristic synoptic diagram when Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C then are the adjacent luminescence unit addressing of scanning area 200 among Fig. 2 A.Below explanation please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C.
Shown in Fig. 2 A, this scanning area 200 comprises a plurality of scan electrode X and a plurality of common electrode Y, and these scan electrodes X and common electrode Y arrange according to an electrode spread sequence alternate.And this scanning area 200 is according to carrying out addressing by scan electrode X toward the address scan direction 202 of common electrode Y.More particularly, be the address scan (shown in Fig. 2 B) of advanced line scanning electrode Xn and common electrode Yn, and then carry out the address scan (shown in Fig. 2 C) of scan electrode Xn+1 and common electrode Yn+1.
Moreover because the barrier rib in the scanning area 200 is the vertical bar shape, therefore the luminescence unit 204 and 206 perpendicular to scan electrode X and common electrode Y communicates with each other.When continuous two the luminescence unit discharges that communicate, the electric charge of luminescence unit (as electronics or ion) can be passed to adjacent luminescence unit.Under the scan mode of Fig. 2 A, the ion i of next luminescence unit 206 can reach last luminescence unit 204, and neutralization has been accumulated in the electronics e on the last addressing electrode W of reaching of common electrode Yn.At this moment, the electric charge that transmitted of luminescence unit 206 is ion i.
Fig. 3 A is the another kind of synoptic diagram that scan electrode and common electrode is carried out addressing direction (being scanned to the X electrode by the Y electrode) in scanning area, this scanning area 300 also has vertical bar shape barrier rib (not illustrating among the figure), and its address scan direction system that carries out addressing is different with Fig. 2 A by the past scan electrode X of common electrode Y.Flash-over characteristic synoptic diagram when Fig. 3 B and Fig. 3 C then are the adjacent luminescence unit addressing of scanning area 300 among Fig. 3 A.Below explanation please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B and Fig. 3 C.
As shown in Figure 3A, this scanning area 300 comprises a plurality of scan electrode X and a plurality of common electrode Y, and these scan electrodes X and common electrode Y arrange according to an electrode spread sequence alternate.And this scanning area 300 is according to carrying out addressing by common electrode Y toward the address scan direction 302 of scan electrode X.More particularly, be the address scan (shown in Fig. 3 B) of carrying out common electrode Ym and scan electrode Xm earlier, and then carry out the address scan (shown in Fig. 3 C) of common electrode Ym+1 and scan electrode Xm+1.
Moreover, because the barrier rib in the scanning area 300 is the vertical bar shape, therefore perpendicular to the luminescence unit 304 and 306 of scan electrode X and common electrode Y for communicating with each other.When continuous two the luminescence unit discharges that communicate, the electric charge of luminescence unit (as electronics or ion) can be passed to adjacent luminescence unit.Under the scan mode of Fig. 3 A, the electronics e of next luminescence unit 306 can reach last luminescence unit 304, and neutralization has been accumulated in the ion i on the common electrode Ym.At this moment, the electric charge that transmitted of luminescence unit 306 is electronics e.
In sum as can be known, when the address scan direction 202 with Fig. 2 A scanned, the ion i of next luminescence unit 206 can reach last luminescence unit 204; When the address scan direction 302 with Fig. 3 A scanned, the electronics e of next luminescence unit 306 can reach last luminescence unit 304.That is to say, when continuous two luminescence units discharge, Fig. 2 A luminescence unit 206 transmitted is ion i, and Fig. 3 A luminescence unit 306 transmitted is electronics e, both are also inequality.
Yet because the quality of ion i and electronics e has thousands of times difference, the mobility (mobility) that causes electronics e is much larger than ion i, so electronics e will have the bigger chance institute's charges accumulated in the adjacent luminescence unit that can neutralize.In other words, for two kinds of scan modes of Fig. 2 A and Fig. 3 A, both probability of adjacent luminescence unit stored charge and inequality that neutralize.If use different address scan modes in the different scanning zone of same panel, then in keeping discharge regime, the scan electrode of each scanning area, the wall CHARGE DISTRIBUTION on the common electrode are can difference excessive.So cause the flash-over characteristic difference of the scanning area that same panel drives in the different scanning mode, and the situation of drive waveforms takes place to be difficult for adjusting.
