<p>A method for driving a PDP display comprising a PDP unit where a first substrate on which pairs of display electrodes and a dielectric layer covering the electrodes are provided is opposed to a second substrate and a PDP drive unit provided with an LC resonance circuit for driving the PDP unit by an intra-field time-division gradation display method and recovering the reactive power out of the power fed to the display electrodes during the drive. The PDP drive unit executes a cycle in which it recovers the reactive power by means of the LC resonance circuit during the fall of the sustaining pulse and feeds the recovered reactive power as a new power to the display electrodes during the rise of the sustaining pulse. In each cycle, the PDP unit is so driven that the period during which the sustaining pulse applied to a first electrode of the paired display electrodes falls overlaps with the period during which the sustaining pulse applied to the second electrode rises.</p> |
