Plasma display device and method for driving the same

摘要

There is provided a plasma display device that has a first, a second, and a third electrodes, phosphors emitting a light depending on discharges generated by applying voltages of the first to third electrodes (Vx, Vy and Vz), and a drive circuit for applying a pulse to the third electrode in every time discharge light emission (Lm) is generated by applying an alternating pulse between the first and second electrodes, and the time at which the pulse of the third electrode reaches 50% of its amplitude in the trailing edge takes place before the time of the first peak of the light emission waveform.
