PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for driving an AC-type plasma display panel which has a wide driving margin for a maintenance voltage and can be driven at a low voltage. SOLUTION: In a priming elimination period 4, voltage Vpe1 is applied to a common electrode C, and the potential of a scanning electrode S is discontinuously reduced to a positive potential lower than the voltage Vpe1, and thereafter the voltage Vpe1 is continuously reduced down to a voltage Vpe2. Then, the potential difference between the voltages Vpe1, Vpe2 is made equal to the discharge start voltage. Moreover, the scanning electrode potential at the time of ending the priming elimination period is made higher than a data electrode potential by 20 V.
