PURPOSE: A plasma display panel is provided to reduce the background luminance and improve the contrast by forming a reset electrode on a black matrix and performing the reset discharge. CONSTITUTION: A plasma display panel includes a couple of substrates(1,2), plural address electrodes(3) formed on one substrate, plural scan electrodes and plural sustain electrodes formed on the other substrate, discharge cells formed on intersections between the address electrodes and the scan electrodes, and a black matrix formed between the discharge cells. The plasma display panel further includes a reset electrode(11) which is formed on the black matrix. The reset electrode is extended in parallel to the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes. One field of an input image signal is divided into plural subfields. Each subfield includes a reset period for forming uniformly discharging states of all discharge cells, an address period for designating the discharge cells, and a sustain period for applying sustain pulses to the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes, alternately. |
