Abstract:
1. A method of resetting a plasma display panel having a three-electrode discharge cell configuration, comprising: gradually increasing a voltage applied to second display electrode lines to reach a first voltage; gradually decreasing a voltage applied to the second display electrode lines to reach a third voltage lower than a second voltage; and electrically floating address electrode lines while maintaining a voltage applied to first display electrode lines at the second voltage lower than the first voltage, wherein the third voltage is applied to the address electrode lines during the time period in which the voltage applied to the second display electrode lines is gradually increased, and wherein the address electrode lines are electrically floated for at least a portion of the time period in which the voltage applied to the second display electrode lines is gradually decreased, the address electrode lines being electrically floated only while the voltage applied to the second display electrode lines is gradually decreased.
