Plasma display panel and method of driving the same

摘要

A method of driving a plasma display panel having a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes disposed adjacent to and alternately with said first electrodes, and a plurality of third electrodes which cross said first and second electrodes, comprising the steps of: carrying out an address discharge between said second electrodes and said third electrodes; carrying out a sustain discharge by alternately applying sustain pulses to said first and second electrodes; and carrying out an auxiliary discharge of a scale larger than the scale of the sustain discharge carried out immediately before.
