Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel driving method for a plasma display panel having a plurality of pairs of display electrodes, a plurality of data electrodes arranged to intersect the display electrodes, and a plurality of discharge cells each formed in a space between the display electrodes and the data electrodes, the plasma display panel driving method repeating the following steps to perform image display: a set-up step for applying a set-up pulse to one of each pair of display electrodes; a write step for applying a write pulse to selected data electrodes of the plurality of data electrodes to write an image; and a discharge sustain step for applying at least one sustain pulse across the pairs of display electrodes after the write step to perform a sustain discharge in discharge cells related to the written image, wherein the setup pulse applied during the set-up step has a waveform that rises at an average voltage change rate of no greater than 6 V/μs, and wherein in the write step, a scan pulse is applied to one of each pair of display electrodes, the scan pulse comprising a drop in voltage from a predetermined reference potential.
