Abstract:
A plasma display panel (PDP) driving method, wherein:said PDP comprises: a first substrate having a plane shape and a second substrate having a plane shape which faces said first substrate; plural first row electrodes and plural second row electrodes arrayed in a row direction on said first substrate; plural column electrodes arrayed in a column direction on said second substrate; and plural display cells disposed at points where said plural column electrodes cross said plural first and second row electrodes, wherein said PDP driving method comprises; applying a scanning pulse to each of said plural first row electrodes by shifting the applying timing of said scanning pulse by a designated interval in a scanning period; applying a first data pulse to at least one of said plural column electrodes by synchronizing said first data pulse with said scanning pulse in said scanning period; applying a sustaining pulse to said plural first and second row electrodes in a sustaining period to generate a sustaining discharge only at said display cell which corresponds to said first data pulse; and applying a sub scanning pulse to the plural second row electrodes in the scanning period which reduces the potential difference between the plural first row electrodes and the plural second row electrodes, wherein all of said display cells generate a writing discharge.
