Abstract
A method for driving a plasma display panel having a front substrate and a rear substrate facing and spaced apart from each other, and n common electrode lines, n scan electrode lines, and m address electrode lines arranged between the front and rear substrates (m and n are integers greater than 1), the common electrode lines and the scan electrode lines being parallel to each other, the address electrode lines being orthogonal to the scan electrode lines, to define pixels at respective intersections, the method including, (1) in order to distribute the n common electrode lines to k common electrode groups (k is an integer of greater than or equal to 2), setting (p+k·j)th common electrode lines in the p-th common electrode group (p is an integer and at least 1 and j is any integer, (2) dividing a unit frame to be displayed into k subfields, and (3) applying a relatively high discharge voltage to the electrode lines of the p-th common electrode group in the p-th subfield, among respective subfields, thereby erasing wall charges formed at the pixels and forming uniform space charges.
