Abstract:
1. A method of driving a Plasma Display Panel (PDP), the method comprising: providing a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes; sequentially selecting the plurality of first electrodes and supplying a first voltage to a selected one of the first electrodes and a second voltage to all of the other first electrodes; then floating the first electrodes after the second voltage has been supplied to the first electrodes; and then changing a voltage at each of the first electrodes to a third voltage for a sustain discharge; wherein changing a voltage at each of the first electrodes to a third voltage for a sustain discharge includes maintaining a voltage at each of the second electrodes at a fourth voltage, and wherein the fourth voltage is supplied to the second electrodes upon the first electrodes being selected; the method further comprising: between floating the first electrodes while supplying the second voltage to the first electrodes and changing a voltage at each of the first electrodes to a third voltage for a sustain discharge, changing the voltage at each of the second electrodes from the fourth voltage to a fifth voltage; and changing the voltage at each of the first electrodes from the second voltage to the fifth voltage.
