Method for driving a plasma display panel

摘要

A driving method of a plasma display panel which has a plurality of row electrode pairs and a plurality of column electrode pairs arranged so as to intersect the row electrode pairs and form pixels at the respective intersecting sections, and which performs a display by using an address period in which a scanning pulse is applied to one of the pair of row electrodes and a pixel data pulse is applied to the column electrodes and a light-on/light-off pixel is selected in accordance with pixel data and a maintaining discharge period in which discharge maintaining pulses are alternately applied to the row electrode pair and the light-on/light-off pixel is maintained, wherein an electric potential of the column electrode is changed every pixel or every pixel group consisting of a plurality of pixels in the maintaining discharge period.
