Abstract:
A method of driving a plasma display panel (PDP) to display an image at every field which is divisible into n sub-fields, where n is a positive integer greater than unity, the PDP comprising a plurality of scanning electrodes, a plurality of data electrodes, and a plurality of cells located at cross points between the scanning electrodes and the data electrodes, the method comprising:determining one sub-field as a priming sub-field and the remaining sub-fields as display sub-fields, respectively; causing priming discharges to occur only at selected ones of the cells only within the priming sub-field with no priming discharges caused to occur at the remaining cells except the selected ones of the cells; and causing display discharges to occur at the selected cells within the display sub-fields to display the image.
