PURPOSE:To provide a method of driving a DC type plasma display pannel having a third electrode on the entire surface of the pannel in high luminance without shortening a discharge maintaining time. CONSTITUTION:In the drive performing the write in a display discharge cell corresponding to cathodes K1, K2, K3... by the discharge between the scanning pulse Vk of the cathode and the write pulse Fw of an anode, and maintaining the display discharge by a discharge maintaining pulse Va till an erasure pulse Ve is impressed to the cathode, a trigger pulse Vt is impressed to the cathode previous to the write, and the priming of the display discharge cell on the cathode is executed by an auxiliary discharge between with the third electrode. Since the priming is executed independently of other cathodes, a priming period at every sub field in sub field division drive is unnecessitated. |
