A method of driving a gas discharge panel comprising: in an addressing preparation period (TR) of a driving period of the panel, applying an addressing preparation pulse (Prx2, Pry2) to at least the scanning electrode of each pair of main electrodes so that a potential difference between the main electrodes of each pair increases with time from a first set value to a second set value; in an addressing period (TA) of said driving period, which follows said addressing preparation period, selecting the scanning electrodes one after another in a scanning sequence and applying a scanning pulse (Py) to the selected scanning electrode and address pulses (Pa) to the address electrodes so as to set each of the cells of the row corresponding to the selected scanning electrode selectively into either a to-be-lit state or a not-to-be-lit state in accordance with state setting data corresponding to the row concerned; in a sustain period (TS) of said driving period, which follows said addressing period, generating discharges in cells that have been set into said to-be-lit state in said addressing period; characterised in that said driving period (Tsf) includes first and second such addressing periods (TA1, TA2), a first plurality of the scanning electrodes (Yodd) being selected one after another in said first addressing period, and a second plurality of the scanning electrodes (Yeven) being selected one after another in said second addressing period. |
