A plasma display apparatus comprising a plurality of discharge cells is driven in two different modes. In an address mode a potential difference much larger than the discharge voltage is applied to selected cells to discharge while a potential difference smaller than the discharge voltage is applied to the non-selected cells so that they not discharge. In the following hold mode period the voltages are lowered but determined such that the selected cells can continue the discharge state while the non-selected cells require time to start discharge. By this means a high brightness, small power consumption and a larger operating range are achieved.
