Patent ID: 7102595

Claim:
A method of driving a PDP (Plasma Display Panel) including a pair of substrates, a plurality of address electrodes formed on one of the substrates and scan electrodes to the number of N formed to intersect the address electrodes, wherein the method of driving comprises: dividing a field of an input video signal into a plurality of sub-fields having brightness weights; and applying a scan pulse to the scan electrodes to the number of N in order and simultaneously applying an input video data signal pulse to the plurality of address electrodes, in each sub-field, to have an address period designating cells to be displayed and a sustain period applying a sustain pulse to the designated cells according to the brightness weight of the corresponding sub-field, wherein the plurality of sub-fields include sub-fields, which have the address period applying the scan pulse to the scan electrodes to the number of N in order of 1, 2, . . . , N−1 and N, and sub-fields, which have the address period applying the scan pulse to the scan electrodes in order of N, N−1, . . . , 2 and 1.
