PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL DRIVING METHOD

摘要

A plasma display panel driving method, which can reduce generation of an area that makes emitting light brightness nonuniform as a whole on a screen, without changing a voltage of a maintaining pulse and a pulse width, and thus, can suppress an increase of power consumption. The plasma display panel driving method is provided with an initializing period wherein a discharge cell is formed at a crossing part of a scanning electrode, a maintaining electrode and a data electrode, and the discharge cell generates initializing discharge; a writing period wherein the discharge cell generates writing discharge; and a maintaining period wherein maintaining pulse is alternately applied on the scanning electrode and the maintaining electrode of the discharge cell to generate maintaining discharge. As for the maintaining pulse, a pulse rise time is shorted in cycles of once in several pulses.
