Abstract
A method for addressing a plasma display panel in which scan electrode lines are arranged parallel with one another and address electrode lines are arranged orthogonal to the scan electrode lines, defining corresponding pixels at the respective intersections, the method including grouping the scan electrode lines into at least two scan electrode groups each group having an equal number of scan electrode lines, sequentially applying a preliminary pulse having a first polarity and a scanning pulse having a second polarity, opposite to the first polarity, to the respective scan electrode groups, wherein while the preliminary pulse is applied to a scan electrode line of a first scan electrode group, the scanning pulse is applied to the scan electrode line immediately preceding the scan electrode line of the second scan electrode group corresponding to the scan electrode line of the first scan electrode group, and applying corresponding image data signals to all address electrode lines while the scanning pulse of the second polarity is applied to the respective scan electrode groups.
