Abstract
A method for driving a plasma display panel comprises the steps of reset, scanning and sustaining discharge. The plasma display panel has display lines comprising SCANNING and SUSTAINING electrodes disposed in parallel with each other, and addressing electrodes extending orthogonally to the SCANNING and SUSTAINING electrodes. The method is characterized in that the step of sustaining discharge is carried out by alternately applying a first driving pulse to the two SCANNING electrodes of each pair of the neighboring display lines and a second driving pulse to the two SUSTAINING electrodes of each pair of the neighboring display lines so that each two of the neighboring electrodes of two respective display lines are identical in polarity during the sustaining discharge.
