Provided is a plasma display apparatus having largely improved luminous efficiency while restraining cost increase of its driving circuit. A PDP 1 has an outer case formed by attaching a front panel 10 and a back panel 40 , with barrier ribs 30 formed therebetween. Besides, a space created between the front panel 10 and the back panel 40 is filled with a rare gas such as Ne, Xe, and He. On the back panel 40 , data-sustain electrodes 52 and data electrodes 51 are aligned alternately and parallel to each other. In a write period, a data driving circuit 4 performs selective data voltage output to the data electrodes 51 based on image data inputted for each subfield line by line. In a sustain period, a data-sustain driving circuit 5 performs collective data-sustain pulse application to the data-sustain electrodes 52.
