Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0653740A2] A method of controlling the gray scale of a plasma display device has a forming step of forming a frame for an image by a plurality of subframes each having a different brightness, a setting step of setting the number of sustain emissions of the each subframe individually for each subframe, and a displaying step of displaying the image on the plasma display device by a gray scale display having a specific brightness. The number of sustain emissions in each subframe is set individually by the individual subframe, and this can establish a linear relation between the gray level and the corresponding brightness. Therefore, an enhancement of display quality of the plasma display device can be realized. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
