Abstract:
A method for driving a plasma display panel having a plurality of driving blocks each with a plurality of scan electrode lines, comprising the steps of:(1) applying a plurality of first scan pulses to a first driving block of the driving blocks by providing one per driving cycle starting from a first scan electrode line to a (n)th scan electrode line in succession; and (2) applying a plurality of second scan pulses to a second driving block by providing one per driving cycle starting from a (m)th scan line to a first scan line in a reverse sequence to the first scan pulses, wherein the first and second driving blocks apply the first and second scan pulses to the scan electrode lines in first and second address periods within an address discharge interval, and wherein the first and second scan pulses alternate the first and second address periods, respectively in successive address discharge intervals.
