PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve an efficiency of writing in a display cell (liquid crystal) of an AC discharge type plasma-addressed display device, and further to permit uniform writing. SOLUTION: When driving the plasma-addressed display device wherein a display cell provided with column-form signal electrodes and a plasma cell provided with row-form discharge channels having exposed electrodes and coated electrodes with a dielectric are superimposed, the length of a voltage pulse for sweeping the electrodes of the discharge channel to generate plasma discharges is set so as to exceed a single selection period. Thus, for example, in the case of single electrode driving, a write time to the liquid crystal can be utilized at maximum within the single selection period. Moreover, in the case of two-electrode driving, the driving voltage can be reduced, uniform writing-in to the liquid crystal can be realized.
