Method for driving plasma display panel and plasma display panel

摘要

A plasma display panel (PDP) drive method eliminates crosstalk and allows for high quality image display by preventing erroneous discharge from occurring in an address period. The method includes an address step of writing data by applying an address pulse to a third electrode and a scan pulse Pas 1 sequentially to first electrodes, and a sustain step of sustaining an illumination by applying sustain pulses between first and second electrodes after completion of the address step. Furthermore, in the address step, a scan pulse Pas 2 of opposite polarity to scan pulse Pas 1 is applied to a second electrode in a pair with a first electrode in a selected line (i.e. a line in which scan pulse Pas 1 is being applied).
