A method of driving a plasma display panel having front and rear substrates opposed to and facing each other, X and Y electrode lines formed between the front and rear substrates to be parallel to each other, address electrode lines formed to be orthogonal to the X and Y electrode lines, to define corresponding pixels at interconnections, and the address electrode lines are cut into two parts at the middle portions thereof to then form first and second panels separately driven such that the minimum driving period includes a display discharge period, a reset period and an address period, a scan pulse is applied to at least one of the respective Y electrode lines during the address period and the corresponding display data signals are simultaneously applied to the respective address electrode lines to form wall charges at pixels to be displayed, pulses for a display discharge are alternately applied to the X and Y electrode lines to cause a display discharge at the pixels where the wall charges have been formed, and a reset pulse for forming space charges while erasing the wall charges remaining from the previous subfield is applied to the corresponding Y electrode lines during the reset period, wherein the address period is applied to the second panel while the display discharge period and the reset period are applied to the first panel.
