PLASMA DISPLAY APPARATUS AND DRIVING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide plasma display apparatus stably generating writing discharge by surely using priming effect of auxiliary discharge by an auxiliary discharge cell. SOLUTION: A plasma display panel 9 has a plurality of discharge cells MC disposed in a matrix form, and a plurality of auxiliary discharge cells RC adjacent to the discharge cells MC. A scanning drive circuit 6 and an auxiliary discharge electrode drive circuit 8 make the auxiliary discharge cells RC perform auxiliary discharge for each line, a data writing drive circuit 4 and the scanning drive circuit 6 make the discharge cells MC generate writing discharge for each line by using auxiliary discharge, and the scanning drive circuit 6 and a maintaining drive circuit 7 make the discharge cells MC having finished writing discharge generate maintaining discharge for each line.
