Plasma display panel and driving method thereof

摘要

A plasma display panel (PDP) and a method for driving the PDP. An ON/OFF pattern of an externally-inputted image signal is checked to sense a sustained discharge occurring in discharge cells respectively corresponding to scan electrodes included in a particular one of multiple scan electrode groups over a predetermined time. A control operation is carried out in response to the sensing of the sustained discharge to allow a discharge to occur in discharge cells respectively corresponding to scan electrodes included in the scan electrode groups other than the particular scan electrode group.
