A method of driving a plasma display panel, the method comprising: a reset period in which a reset discharge is carried out in a plurality of discharge cells by applying prescribed voltages to the sustain electrodes Xi, scan electrodes Yn, and address electrodes Aj to accomplish a uniform charge distribution among the plurality of discharge cells; an address period in which a write discharge is carried out in selected discharge cells between the scan electrodes Yn and the address electrodes Aj, thereby performing selective writing that matches display data; and a sustain discharge period in which sustain discharge pulses are applied between the sustain electrodes Xi and the scan electrodes Yn, thereby causing a discharge glow for the display at the discharge cells in which the writing has been performed in the address period, wherein potential differences between the odd-numbered sustain electrodes X2i-1 and the even-numbered scan electrodes Y2n and between the even-numbered sustain electrodes X2i and the odd-numbered scan electrodes Y2n-1 during the reset period of an odd field in which a display is produced between the odd-numbered sustain electrodes X2i-1 and scan electrodes Y2n-1 and between even-numbered sustain electrodes X2i and scan electrodes Y2n, and potential differences between the odd-numbered sustain electrodes X2i-1 and scan electrodes Y2n-1 and between the even-numbererd sustain electrodes X2i and scan electrodes Y2n during the reset period of an even field in which a display is produced between the odd-numbered sustain electrodes X2i-1 and even-numbered scan electrodes Y2n and between the even-numbered sustain electrodes X2i and odd-numbered scan electrodes Y2n-1, are each held below a discharge initiating voltage between the respective electrodes. <IMAGE> |
