Abstract:
A plasma display device comprising:a first insulating substrate on which a plurality of display electrode pairs are separately formed along display lines where plasma discharge for display is performed, said plural display electrode pairs including a plurality of first display electrode pairs and a plurality of second display electrodes pairs;a second insulating substrate on which a plurality of address electrodes are formed so as to intersect said display electrode pairs, said first and said second insulating substrates being located opposite each other with an intervening discharge space therebetween;a first drive circuit for applying a drive voltage to said first display electrode pairs; anda second drive circuit for applying a drive voltage to said second display electrode pairs,wherein a direction of a charge current flowing at said first display electrode pairs when said drive voltage is applied by said first drive circuit is opposite on said plasma display panel to a direction of a charge current flowing at said second display electrode pairs when said drive voltage is applied by said second drive circuit.
