Plasma display and driving method thereof

摘要

A method for driving a plasma display device (PDP) during subfields of a frame. including a first subfield. The PDP includes scan lines corresponding to first and second display regions, address lines crossing the scan lines, and first and second discharge cells respectively defined by the first display regions and the address lines and by the second display regions and the address lines. The method includes: selecting a first non-light emitting cell from among first light emitting cells of the first discharge cells during a first address period of the first subfield; selecting a second non-light emitting cell from among second light emitting cells of the second discharge cells during a second address period of the first subfield; and sustain-discharging the first and second light emitting cells during a first period prior to the first address period and a second period prior to the second address period, respectively.
