How would this be different from setting the field permission to "Public (author and administrators can edit, everyone can view)"?

hi
using that kind of settings will it not impact the normal permission setting?

Nope. "Public" is functionally equivalent to saying "Don't restrict." In fact, the field permission field_access hook checks whether a field is public and immediately exists if it is:

function field_permissions_field_access($op, $field, $entity_type, $entity, $account) {
  // Ignore the request if permissions have not been enabled for this field.
  if (!isset($field['field_permissions']['type']) || $field['field_permissions']['type'] == FIELD_PERMISSIONS_PUBLIC) {
    return;
  }

...

Are you seeing behavior where a field isn't showing up even though you've got it listed as "Public"?
