PURPOSE:To achieve improved picture-quality and reduction in cost with lesser number of discharge retaining electrodes by forming electrodes in such a manner that each of the discharge electrodes arranged in parallel provided a display cell line with its adjacent electrode on either side of it. CONSTITUTION:Discharge electrodes are arranged in parallel on a base 1 in such a manner that electrodes are led out individually on an alternate basis and X-electrodes are available on both sides of them. On the rear of the base 1 are installed address electrodes A1-A5 via an insulating layer over the discharge electrode group. A barrier 6 is is installed between the center line of each discharge electrode and an address electrode to form a display cell which is a space delimited by the barrier. One Y electrode can drive two lines, with a reduced number of discharge retaining electrodes in use. For driving, provisions are made so that twice the frequency and half the voltage level are provided for retaining voltage pulses to the Y electrode group in conjunction with retaining voltage pulses to each X electrode group.
