A driving method enables an improvement in emission efficiency and achievement of a higher degree of brightness when employing the address while display driving (AWD) scheme. Taking a 3-bit 8-gradation display as an example, a first H period (one horizontal scan period) of each subfield is divided into 3 regions (first region, second region, and third region in the order of time), and, in each of the lines, an address period (address pulse P<SUB>A </SUB>and scan pulse P<SUB>AY</SUB>) of the subfield SF 1 is set in the first region, an address period of subfield SF 2 is set in the second region, and an address period of the subfield SF 3 is set in the third region. The regions other than those in which the address period is set are used as the sustain period, and a time length of each sustain pulse P<SUB>s </SUB>is set to 1/3 of the length of the H period. A reset period achieved by a reset pulse P<SUB>R </SUB>and a priming period achieved by a priming pulse P<SUB>P </SUB>are set in the region where the address period is set.
