A first driving circuit alternately reverses polarities of voltages applied to a first and a second electrode in order to cause sustain discharge between the first and second electrodes. A second driving circuit applies a pulse to a fourth electrode in synchronization with a timing when the Polarities of the voltages to the first and second electrodes are reversed. Further, during the sustain discharge, the second driving circuit keeps a voltage of the fourth electrode after the application of the pulse, at an offset voltage deviated by a Predetermined value from an initial voltage that the fourth electrode has before the generation of the pulse, and thereafter returns the voltage of the fourth electrode to the initial voltage. For example, the offset voltage is set to a value between a high-level voltage and a low-level voltage applied to the first and second electrodes. Consequently, luminescent efficiency can be improved.
