Abstract:
A method for driving a plasma display panel including first and second display electrodes making electrode pairs for generating surface discharge for each row of a screen, a dielectric layer for insulating the electrode pairs from the discharge space and address electrodes crossing the first and second display electrodes via the dielectric layer, the method comprising a charge forming step and a charge adjusting step as a preparation process of addressing for forming charge distribution corresponding to display contents, whereinthe charge forming step generates wall voltage having the same polarity at the same kind of interelectrode of all cells constituting the screen, for three kinds of interelectrodes, an interelectrode XY between the display electrodes, an interelectrode XA between the first display electrode and the address electrode, and an interelectrode YA between the second display electrode and the address electrode, andthe charge adjusting step decreases the wall voltage by applying an increasing voltage that increases continuously or step by step.
