<p>A method for driving a PDP display device having a PDP unit that includes scan electrodes (25) and sustain electrodes on the surface of a first substrate, and data electrodes on the surface of a second substrate with the first and second substrates facing each other. This method is characterized in that, if m is an arbitrary integer, when the last pulse over a sustaining period in the (m-1)-th subfield is impressed on a scan electrode and when the m-th subfield has the initialization period, a negative pulse is impressed on a data electrode in synchronism with the gradual decrease impression on the scan electrode over the initialization period, and in that, when the last pulse over a sustaining period in the (m-1)-th subfield is impressed on a sustain electrode and when the m-th subfield has the initialization period, a positive pulse is impressed on a data electrode in synchronism with the gradual increase impressing on the scan electrode over the initialization period.</p> |
