A PDP device can realize both the reduction in power consumption in the sustain period and the appropriate erase operation. The PDP device has a plurality of display electrodes on a substrate surface, wherein the display electrodes include mutually adjacent X electrodes and Y electrodes. And the PDP has X, Y drive circuits that drive the X, Y electrodes. Further, in a sustain period, the X, Y electrode drive circuits apply sustain pulses having a rising dull waveform during the rise and a falling dull waveform during the fall between the X, Y electrodes a plurality of times, and after the plurality of sustain pulses have been applied, apply narrow erase pulses having a rise characteristic sharper than the rising dull waveform during the rise and also having a pulse width shorter than that of the sustain pulses between the X, Y electrodes.
