Abstract
A plasma display system has a plasma display panel including a pair of base plates for forming a plurality of discharge cells therebetween, and a plurality of pairs of electrodes for sustaining discharge to form plasma through a dielectric substance thereon in the discharge cells. The pairs of electrodes for sustaining discharge are disposed on a same one of the pair of base plates. The plasma display panel is configured such that a discharge current integrated over 40% of a discharge time Td from a start of the discharge time Td is smaller than a discharge current integrated over a remainder of the discharge time Td in one discharge, wherein the discharge time Td is defined as a time interval over which a discharge current does not drop to less than 5% of its maximum value in one discharge.
