Abstract:
1. A method for driving a plasma display device comprising a plurality of first electrodes and second electrodes extending in a first direction and a plurality of third electrodes extending in a second direction intersecting with said first and second electrodes arranged therein, and having a plurality of sub-frames in one frame, each sub-frame having a reset period, an address period and a sustain discharge period, wherein said plural sub-frames include: a first-type sub-frame group in which in said reset period, a voltage of a first waveform increasing with time is applied to said second electrode and then a voltage of a second waveform decreasing with time is applied to said second electrode; and a second-type sub-frame group in which in said reset period, the voltage of the second waveform is applied to said second electrode without application of the voltage of the first waveform to said second electrode, and wherein an attained voltage value of the voltage of the first waveform in at least one sub-frame in said first-type sub-frame group is higher than an attained voltage value of the voltage of the first waveform in other sub-frames in said first-type sub-frame group.
