A novel PDP apparatus is disclosed wherein the peak current of the sustain discharge can be reduced without changing circuits. An AC gas discharge display apparatus includes a plurality of first and second electrodes (X,Y) alternately arranged substantially in parallel with each other; and a plurality of third electrodes (A) so arranged as to intersect the first and second electrodes; and further has an AC gas discharging panel (1) in which each of cells is formed where a pair of first and second electrodes intersect the third electrodes. In the AC gas discharge display apparatus, cells, which are to emit light during an address interval, are selected, and sustain pulses having opposite polarities are alternately applied between the first and second electrodes during a sustain discharge interval, thereby causing the selected cells to discharge for display. The plurality of third electrodes are divided into first and second groups, and during the sustain discharge interval, a constant voltage, 0 V, is applied to the first group of third electrodes, while the second group of third electrodes are placed in a high impedance state. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
