A method for driving a plasma display panel uses erase addressing for matrix display by an AC-driven plasma display panel. The method groups the row electrode pairs into a first group Q1 and a second group Q2 and, as an operation to charge all the ceils prior to the addressing, applies, to electrode pairs belonging to either one of the first and second groups, a first voltage pulse Prx, Pry that generates a discharge only in cells in a non-charged state and then a second voltage pulse Prs for generating a discharge in all the cells, the second voltage pulse also being applied to electrode pairs belonging to the other group. This reduces the brightness of unlit portions of the screen and hence improves contrast. <IMAGE> |
