Abstract:
1. A method for driving a plasma display panel having a plurality of row electrode sets, each including two first electrodes and one second electrode interposed between said first electrodes, the first electrodes and the second electrode respectively acting as scanning electrodes and a sustain electrode, or vice versa, and said second electrode interposed between neighboring display cells such that said second electrode is shared by said neighboring display cells, wherein said neighboring display cells are adjacent in a direction intersecting with a direction where said scanning electrodes and sustaining electrode extend, the method comprising the steps of: applying sustaining pulses alternately to the neighboring ones of said first and second electrodes; and changing at least one condition selected from the group consisting of pulse width and interval of said sustaining pulses in response to changes in polarity of said sustaining pulses.
