Abstract
A driving apparatus for a gas discharge display panel having a plurality of cathodes and a plurality of anodes arranged in a matrix includes a cathode pulse generator and an anode pulse generator, with the anode pulse generator generating negative display anode pulses made up of auxiliary discharge pulses (width=tS) and display pulses of smaller pulse width (width=tD, tD.ltoreq.tS) corresponding to information display signals. The anode pulse generator preferably also provides positive display anode pulses so that selection between negative and positive display anode pulses is possible.
