Patent ID: 8395645

Claim:
A plasma display device comprising: a plasma display panel, the plasma display panel being driven by a subfield method in which a plurality of subfields are set in one field, each of the subfields having an initializing period, an address period, and a sustain period, the plasma display panel having a plurality of discharge cells, each of the discharge cells having a display electrode pair formed of a scan electrode and a sustain electrode, the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes being arranged so that positions of the scan electrode and the sustain electrode are alternately interchanged in each display electrode pair; and an image signal processing circuit for converting an image signal into image data that indicates light emission and no light emission in each subfield in each of the discharge cells, wherein the image signal processing circuit generates the image data so that a combination of the image data is avoided, the combination being such that one of two adjacent discharge cells is lit and an other of the discharge cells is unlit in one subfield of the plurality of subfields forming the one field, and the one of the discharge cells is unlit and the other of the discharge cells is lit in a subfield after the one subfield in the same field.
