Plasma display panel (PDP) includes sustain/scan and sustain electrodes arranged parallel with one another and data electrodes arranged generally orthogonal to the sustain/scan and sustain electrodes. The PDP cells are defined at the cross points of the electrodes and sustain discharges are provided in the cells by changing electrical potential of the sustain/scan and sustain electrodes with respect to one another. The sustain/scan and sustain electrodes are driven simultaneously substantially at opposite phase and between low and high electrical potentials with respect to one another thereby substantially eliminating electrical potential pulses from being induced on the data electrodes. The sustain/scan and sustain electrodes are switched substantially simultaneously for changing electrical potential and the rate of electrical potential change on these electrodes are substantially the same but in opposite direction. The transition between the low and high electrical potentials preferably occurs in a period greater than 300 ns. Preferably, the PDP is divided into a plurality of display areas which are electronically independently controlled. Because electrical potential pulses are not induced in the data electrodes, in operation, while one display area is being addressed the remaining panel display areas are in sustain mode providing discharge pulses and producing light emissions. |
