Abstract
An AC-discharge color plasma display panel has a matrix of unit discharge spaces which include unit discharge spaces for emitting light in the same color that are arranged along the scan electrodes, and sets of three adjacent unit discharge spaces for emitting light in three different colors that are arranged along the data electrode. Scan pulses and data pulses applied to the unit discharge spaces to generate writing discharges according to display information and pairs of sustaining pulses applied to the unit discharge spaces to generate and maintain sustaining discharges are controllable with respect to pulse durations, oscillation frequencies, voltages, etc. for each of the colors. A method of driving the AC-discharge color plasma display panel is also disclosed.
