Abstract:
1. A method for driving a plasma display panel in which a plurality of first and second electrodes are arranged adjacently each other, a plurality of third electrodes are arranged to cross the first and second electrodes, the plasma display panel having a reset period, an address period, and a sustain discharge period, the method comprising: in said reset period, applying to the second electrodes a first waveform voltage, whose applied potential increases with time, and thereafter, applying to the second electrodes a second waveform voltage, whose applied potential decreases with time, wherein a potential of the second electrode reached by applying the second waveform voltage is higher than a select potential, which is a potential of a scan pulse applied to the second electrodes at said address period, and lower than a non-select potential of the second electrodes, and wherein: said first waveform voltage is a first triangular waveform voltage whose potential increases with constant slope, and said second waveform is a second triangular waveform voltage whose potential decreases with constant slope.
