Abstract:
1. A method for driving an alternating current type plasma display panel to have said alternating current plasma display panel perform gray-scale display by dividing one field for displaying one screen into n-pieces (“n” is a natural number) of sub-fields and by setting a number of times of light emission in said sub-fields at values of two kinds or more, said method comprising: a step of setting a first period during which predetermined time elapses after a start of operations of said alternating current plasma display panel and a second period during which display corresponding to an image signal is performed on said alternating current plasma display panel after a lapse of said first period; and a step of making a total number of sustaining light emissions contained in each field during said first period be smaller than a total number of sustaining light emissions contained in each field during said second period.
