Abstract

The plasma display panel having brightness display ranges comprising a gradation brightness display range which displays gradation brightness corresponding to the input signals under a preset input signal level and a constant brightness display range which displays a constant peak brightness greater than the maximum brightness corresponding to input signals greater than the preset input signal level. The plasma display panel can provide the gradation display up to the maximum brightness corresponding to the input signals up to the maximum input and provide the constant peak brightness corresponding to the peak level input by adding one additional weighting bit for the higher gradation. Consequently, a high quality brightness display with high mean value of the brightness and sufficiently high peak brightness can be achieved. Furthermore, the plasma display panel enhances the brightness weighting value and the value of .gamma. for the reverse .gamma. correction when the input signals go over the preset value and decrease the values to the original values when the input signals drop below the preset value. The plasma display panel can provide the gradation display up to the maximum brightness corresponding to the input signals up to the maximum input signal and provide the gradation display up to the peak brightness greater than the maximum brightness corresponding to the input signals over the maximum input signal. Consequently, high quality display with high brightness and high contrast without exceeding the maximum permissible power consumption can be achieved.
