Abstract:
1. A plasma display device comprising: a plasma display panel including: a panel driving circuit for driving the plasma display panel such that a plurality of subfields are temporally disposed to form one field period, each subfield of the plurality of subfields having an initializing period for causing an initializing discharge, an address period for causing an address discharge, and a sustain period for causing a sustain discharge in the discharge cells, wherein the protective layer includes: wherein the panel driving circuit is configured to drive the plasma display panel such that, in the initializing period of a subfield of the plurality of subfields, one of (i) an all-cell initializing operation causing the initializing discharge in all of the discharge cells and (ii) a selective initializing operation causing the initializing discharge in discharge cells having undergone the sustain discharge is performed, and wherein the plurality of subfields are temporally disposed such that a luminance weight is monotonically decreased from (i) a subfield in which the all-cell initializing operation is performed to (ii) a subfield in which a next all-cell initializing operation is performed.
