Abstract
In a plasma display device having a three-dimensional matrix wiring arrangement of anodes, cathodes and address electrodes, writing discharge is caused between anodes and address electrodes to temporarily store writing charge on a dielectric layer, and the writing charge is discharged as an auxiliary discharge by applying a sustaining voltage to the cathodes, thereby inducing main discharge between the anodes and the cathodes.
