A driving method for a plasma display panel (PDP). The odd pixels units are selected by the odd fields, and are discharged. The even pixels units are selected by the even fields, and are discharged. The pixel units are disposed in a triangular arrangement, so that the odd pixel units and adjacent even pixel units, being different in color, are arranged alternately. Thereby, the present invention can eliminate flicker. In addition, the different pixel units are controlled by different common electrodes and the present invention thereby reduces cross-talk.

Driving method for a plasma display panel

A method for driving an alternating current plasma display panel (AC PDP) during a reset period is disclosed. Firstly, a first erase pulse, being positive in polarity and increasing in magnitude with time, is applied to a first electrode so as to remove wall charges from the pixel units. Then, a first priming pulse of negative polarity and a second priming pulse of positive polarity increases in magnitude with time and are respectively applied to the first electrode and a second electrode so as to produce the wall charges in the pixel units. Finally, a second erase pulse, being positive in polarity and increasing in magnitude with time, is applied to the first electrode so as to remove the redundant wall charges.
