Plasma Display Panel Driving Method and Plasma Display Device

摘要

A method for driving a plasma display panel including discharge cells at the intersections of data electrodes D 1 to Dm and pairs of scan electrodes SC 1 to SCn and sustain electrodes SU 1 to SUn. One field period is composed of a plurality of subfields each including a wrting period and a sustain period. During the wrting period, a wrting discharge is generated in a selected one of the discharge cells. During the sustain period, a sustain discharge is generated in the selected discharge cell. The voltage to be applied to sustain electrodes SU 1 to SUn in the wrting period of the subfield having the lowest display luminance of all the subfields is set higher than the voltage to be applied to sustain electrodes SU 1 to SUn in the wrting period of the subfields other than the subfield having the lowest display luminance.
