Abstract:
A plasma display panel driving method for a display panel having a plurality of electrodes forming cells, including a first electrode group arranged on a permeable substrate and being capable of being driven in common, a second electrode group arranged in parallel with said first electrode group on said permeable substrate and being capable of being driven independently, a third electrode group arranged perpendicular to said first and second electrode groups on another substrate and being capable of being driven independently, said driving method comprising the steps of:supplying a voltage with a fast rising leading edge so as to immediately produce a maximum electric discharge one time per a sub-field in a cell in which an electric discharge was performed beforehand; andsupplying another voltage without causing any electric discharge under a first condition;wherein the step of supplying another voltage without causing any electric discharge under a first condition includes supplying the another voltage with a polarity which is the same polarity and a value which is larger than a polarity and value of the voltage supplied with a fast rising leading edge.
