AC-type plasma display panel and method for driving same

摘要

An AC-type plasma display panel and a method for driving the AC-type plasma display panel are provided which are capable of reducing discharge leak (crosstalk) between cells being adjacent to each other and of increasing operating range. The AC-type plasma display panel has two insulating substrates both facing each other. On one insulating substrate is formed a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of sustaining electrodes. On another insulating substrate is formed a plurality of data electrodes. Each of the scanning electrodes is made up of each of bus electrodes and each of main discharge electrodes. Each of the main discharge electrodes has a wide electrode portion arranged on a side of a discharge-space-side between the scanning electrode and the sustaining electrode being adjacent to each other, and a narrow electrode portion arranged on a side of a non-discharge-space between two of the scanning electrodes being adjacent to each other or two of sustaining electrodes being adjacent to each other.
