A plasma display panel in which selective discharge for switching a discharge cell can be caused quickly with low voltage, the luminance during black display is preferably suppressed, a minimum luminance modulation is easy, and even the image quality is improved, and its driving method are disclosed. The voltage of a scanning pulse and the voltage of a data pulse of high level are so set as to cause a feeble discharge (501) in a discharge cell between the portion of a low-resistance interconnection (111b) and the portion of a step part (203) over a data electrode (210), the both portions being superposed, when the data pulse is at a low level in the discharge cell, namely, even if the discharge cell is not selected. The voltages are also so set as to cause a feeble discharge (501) immediately after the application of the data pulse if the data pulse is at a high level in a discharge cell, namely, when the discharge cell is selected. Thereafter, the discharge spreads to a region below a transparent electrode (111a) to become a discharge (502). |
