Patent ID: 7808453

Claim:
A driving method of a plasma display panel, in which driving waveforms are applied to at least two types of display electrodes to perform display sustain discharges between the two types of display electrodes, wherein a drive control in a sustain operation period in a plurality of subfields obtained by dividing one field corresponding to a predetermined display period based on time for grayscale expression is performed, as driving waveforms for the sustain discharges between the two types of electrodes, a driving waveform by a periodic first combination in which at least two or more types of waveforms including a first-type waveform and a second-type waveform are mixed is sequentially applied to the two types of display electrodes, the first combination is comprised of a plurality of subsidiary combinations having a shorter period than that of the first combination, and probability that the second-type waveform is applied successively in the first combination is less than 20%.
