Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a plasma display device that enables high-luminosity display while keeping consumption of power low. After causing reset discharge to form a wall charge in the dielectric layer of all discharge cells of a plasma display panel, pixel data are written by causing selective erasure discharge to erase, in accordance to pixel data corresponding to an input video signal, the wall charge formed in each discharge cell, and sustaining pulses, with a voltage value of at least 200 volts, are applied alternately to each row electrode of each row electrode pair of the plasma display panel to repeatedly cause sustained discharge to occur only in discharge cells having residual wall charge.
