Abstract
A resetting method for erasing wall charges remaining around a first display electrode and a second display electrode in a second sub-field following after applying a final sustain discharge voltage between the first display electrode and the second display electrode in a first sub-field on a plasma display panel, including the steps of applying a first voltage higher than and having the opposite polarity to the final sustain discharge voltage between the first display electrode and the second display electrode, to cause a first discharge and accumulation of wall charges, and gradually decreasing the level of the first voltage until the first display electrode and the second display electrode are made to be at the same potential, to cause a second discharge weaker than and longer than the first discharge by the accumulated wall charges, and erasing the wall charges.
