Claim:
A method for driving a cell of a plasma display panel having a plurality of scanning lines in a duration of a frame, in which the frame contains a plurality of subfields, said method comprising: setting a selected subfield in the frame of at least one cell of one of the plurality of scanning lines to a selected state; setting each one of the subfields preceding the selected subfield to a state opposite the selected state; initially setting each one of the subfields succeeding the selected subfield in the frame to the state opposite the selected state; and then for each of the plurality of scanning lines following the first one of the plurality of scanning lines, setting each one of the subfields succeeding the selected subfield in the frame to the same state as a corresponding subfield of a corresponding cell in an adjacent previous scanning line; and driving the one cell by turning the cell into either an ON or OFF condition from the selected subfield throughout the succeeding subfields in the frame based on the selected state of the selected subfield.
