PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize progressive display in an electrode structure in which two adjacent rows share a display electrode. SOLUTION: In a PDP where display electrodes are arranged so that one electrode is shared for displaying two adjacent rows, and where the display electrodes and address electrodes cross each other in each column, addressing is performed for controlling the potential of an address electrode Ak according to display data, in tandem with the row selection for temporarily biasing one of the display electrodes Yj of an electrode pair corresponding to selected rows to a selected potential Vy, and in that case, a cell selection voltage Vay to be applied across the electrodes AY of the display electrode Yj and the address electrode Ak is made lower than a discharge starting voltage VAY across the electrodes AY, and a row selection voltage Vxy lower than a discharge starting voltage VXY is applied across the electrodes XY of the display electrodes themselves of the electrode pair corresponding to the selected rows, thereby generates address discharge.
