Plasma display device and method for setting drive operation

摘要

A plasma display device with improved luminance and light emission efficiency in display discharge without shortening the life is provided. The plasma display panel has a structure including a discharge gas space and fluorescent materials between the display electrode and the address electrode. After the addressing process for forming wall charge in cells to be lighted, a drive operation is performed for changing a potential of at least one display electrode so as to be different between the start time point and the end time point of the display discharge for generating display discharge and the following reform of the wall charge in the cell, and the cell voltage between the display electrode and the address electrode at the start time point of the display discharge is set to a value lower than the microdischarge start voltage that is measured in advance.
