A method for driving a plasma display panel which is capable of improving contrast is provided. A plasma display apparatus which is capable of improving dark contrast and suppressing a degradation in image quality immediately after power-on is also provided. In the PDP, the peak potentials of drive pulses to be applied in order to drive display cells which have a phosphor layer containing a phosphor material and a secondary electron emitting material, are set as follows. The peak potential of a reset pulse, to be applied to each of the row electrodes in the first subfield within each unit display period, is set to be lower than the peak potential of a sustain pulse, to be applied to each of the row electrodes in every subfield to produce sustain discharge only in display cells that are in the lighting mode.
