Abstract

See full text

A method of driving a surface discharge plasma display panel has a reset step of applying a pulse of a first voltage to paired first and second electrodes, a write step of applying a pulse of a second voltage to second and third electrodes corresponding to cells to be turned ON, and a sustain discharge step of applying an AC pulse of a fourth voltage to the paired first and second electrodes. The pulse of the first voltage is so set that it is higher than a first discharge start voltage, a third voltage caused by the discharge is higher than the first discharge start voltage, and the first, second, and third electrodes have the same potential after the application of the pulse of the first voltage. Therefore, an address discharge of the surface discharge plasma display panel can be caused by a wide range of voltages, and display quality of the panel can be improved.
