Abstract:
1. A method for driving a plasma display having a plurality of first electrodes and second electrodes arranged alternately, and a plurality of third electrodes, each third electrode being formed between a respective first electrode and second electrode, comprising: coupling the first electrodes through a common coupling line and coupling the third electrodes to a driver through a flexible printed circuit; in a sustain discharge period, (a) biasing each first electrode with a first voltage through the common coupling line; (b) alternately applying a second voltage which is greater than the first voltage and a third voltage which is less than the first voltage to each second electrode; and (c) applying a fourth voltage which is greater than the first voltage to each third electrode while the second voltage is applied to each second electrode, and applying a fifth voltage which is less than the first voltage to each third electrode while the third voltage is applied to the second electrode.
