Abstract:
1. A method of driving a plasma display panel including a plurality of X electrodes and a plurality of Y electrodes arranged in alternating, spaced relationship on a base plate, and a plurality of address electrodes spaced from and crossing the X and Y electrodes, comprising: generating initializing discharges with at least one ramp waveform voltage applied between the X electrodes and Y electrodes during an initializing period; generating addressing discharges between the Y electrodes and the address electrodes during an addressing period; and generating sustaining discharges between the X electrodes and Y electrodes during a sustaining period, said initializing period, said addressing period and said sustaining period cyclically recurring, wherein the voltage of a driving waveform for each electrode satisfies the following relational expression: wherein V wherein V wherein V
