Abstract:
1. A method for driving a display panel, the display panel comprising a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of common electrode groups paired with the plurality of scanning electrodes, the method comprising the steps of: driving a first common electrode group by a first sustain discharge signal having a first sustain discharge pulse; driving a second common electrode group by a second sustain discharge signal having a second sustain discharge pulse; driving the plurality of scanning electrodes by a third sustain discharge signal having a third sustain discharge pulse and a fourth sustain discharge pulse, the third sustain discharge pulse and the fourth sustain discharge pulse being consecutive discharge pulses; and after applying the third sustain discharge pulse but before applying the fourth sustain discharge pulse, applying the first sustain discharge pulse to the first common electrode group and applying the second sustain discharge pulse to the second common electrode group.
