Abstract
There are provided a plasma display panel (PDP) with improved energy recovery efficiency by which EMI generated at the PDP can be offset by an electrical field generated during a sustained discharge, the number of terminals connected to common electrodes can be reduced by minimizing the current flowing through the common electrodes without applying a voltage to the common electrodes during the sustained discharge, and the PDP can be tiled by minimizing the non-luminous area of the PDP, and a driving method thereof. In the PDP with improved energy recovery efficiency, connection terminals between scanning/common electrodes and external driving circuits are formed only at a non-luminous area at one end of a front glass substrate of a three-electrode face discharge PDP, with the non-luminous area of the other end greatly reduced, positive and negative discharge sustain pulses are alternately applied to an even-numbered scanning electrode and an odd-numbered scanning electrode, both electrodes are adjacent to each other, thereby suppressing an increase in impedance caused by the non-luminous area.
