PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce peak currents flowing through scanning electrodes at the time of these discharges by increasing the variation of occurence of discharges at the time of writing discharges and at the time of sustaining discharges. SOLUTION: In the driving method of a surface discharge type plasma display panel in which the selecting of display pixels is performed by performing preliminary discharges prior to the selecting of the display pixels and by impressing scanning pulses on row electrodes 12 in time-division manner after these preliminary dis-charges and by selectively impressing data pulses on column electrodes 19 while making them to be in synchronism with the scanning pulses and sustaining discharges are performed only on these display pixels, the absolute value of the voltage of a scanning pulse which is to be at first impressed on the row electrode 12 at least after the preliminary discharges is made be smaller than that of voltages of other scanning pulses which are to be impressed on the other row electrodes 12.
