PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for driving a plasma display panel (PDP) and a plasma display device which can reduce power consumption without causing a display malfunction or deteriorating image quality. SOLUTION: When the input of an image signal is stopped or when an input image signal is in an entirely-black image state, the application of a drive pulse for driving the PDP is stopped. Here, when the input of the image signal is resumed or when the input image signal switches from the entirely-black image state to a normal image state, the absolute value of the peak potential of the drive pulse or the pulse width thereof is increased to increase the strength of discharge until a prescribed period of time elapses after the resumption or switching, and then the absolute value of the peak potential of the drive pulse or the pulse width is returned to a normal absolute value or a normal pulse width.
