Abstract:
A plasma display device, comprising:a plasma display panel comprising a discharge cell including a first electrode and a second electrode; and a driving unit for driving said discharge cell by giving a potential difference between said first electrode and said second electrode, wherein said driving unit comprises a pulse generation unit capable of generating an operational voltage pulse derived from a predetermined pulse waveform, said predetermined pulse waveform changing from a first voltage to a second voltage, said driving unit controls said pulse generation unit to start outputting said operational voltage pulse to be applied to said first electrode at said first voltage and then to stop the continuous change of said operational voltage pulse when said operational voltage pulse reaches a third voltage, the third voltage being between said first voltage and said second voltage, and a waveform of said operational voltage pulse is the same as the predetermined pulse waveform between said first voltage and said third voltage.
