A plasma display panel having an auxiliary electrode for lowering a discharge starting voltage between discharge sustain electrodes and a method for driving the same are provided. In the plasma display panel having the auxiliary electrode and the method for driving the same, a thin auxiliary electrode is arranged between an X electrode and a Y electrode arranged in each discharge cell of the plasma display panel and an electrode driving pulse is applied to the auxiliary electrode at the point in time which is not later than the point in time at which a discharge sustain pulse starts. Accordingly, the discharge starting voltage of the main discharge is reduced. |
