<p>A method of driving a gas-discharge panel having at least one reset electrode and cathode and anode groups for forming N electrode pairs. The cathodes are p-phase connected (p>/=3) while the anodes are m-phase connected (m</=p). The reset electrode is applied with a reset pulse voltage having a period of T of one frame. Cathode pulse voltages having their pulse widths of (p-1)T/N are successively applied to the cathodes for respective p phases with a phase shift of T/N to each other while anode pulse voltages having their pulse widths of at maximum (m-1)T/N are successively applied to the anodes for respective m phases with a phase shift of T/N to each other. A reset discharge which is generated by the reset pulse voltage and the first one of the cathode pulse voltages and anode pulse voltages applied for each frame and having a value cooperating with the reset pulse voltage value is successively transferred by means of the cathode and anode voltages to display desired information. As a result, the display luminance can be improved (p-1) times without impairing the self-scanning function.</p> |
