Patent ID: 7760158

Claim:
A method of driving a plasma display panel, comprising the steps of: determining the degree in which data moves; selecting an operating mode based on the degree in which the data moves; selecting a sub-field arrangement, while maintaining a constant number of sub-fields, and a number of sustain pulses of one frame period based on the selected operating mode, the sub-field arrangement including at least one selective write (SW) sub-field and at least one selective erase (SE) sub-field, wherein the number of SW sub-fields and SE sub-fields in the frame period are based on the selected operating mode; and controlling the plasma display according to the selected sub-field arrangement, wherein the at least one SW sub-field selects on-cells in an address period, and at least one selective erase (SE) sub-field that selects off-cells in an address period, wherein the step of controlling differently at least one of the arrangement of the sub-fields and the number of the sustain pulses comprises the step of: making the number of the selective write SW sub-fields to be greater than the number of the selective erase SE sub-fields if the operating mode is a PC mode in which the movement degree of the data is small.
