Plasma display panel and method of driving the same

摘要

A driving method of the present invention is adapted to a plasma display panel which includes first and second electrodes formed on a substrate, third electrodes formed in a direction intersecting the first and second electrodes, and a dielectric layer covering the first and second electrodes. The driving method includes the steps of generating an address discharge between the first and the third electrode to select a predetermined cell and sustain discharges between the first and the second electrode to produce light for display, and controlling the plasma display panel such that the discharge intensity of a sustain discharge in which the second electrode serves as the anode is smaller than the discharge intensity of a sustain discharge in which the first electrode serves as the anode.
