Abstract
A drive circuit for a plasma display panel is provided. A region of a plurality of surface discharge electrode pairs is divided such that the electrostatic capacitance between the surface discharge electrode pairs is divided into 2.sup.n equal portions (where n is a natural number). 2.sup.n-1 series resonant circuits are formed by the capacitances of two each of the divided surface discharge electrode pair regions, a coil, and a plurality of switches. A first voltage state and a second voltage state between the plurality of surface discharge electrode pairs are shifted by the series resonant circuit.
