Abstract
A method for driving an alternating current plasma display panel (AC PDP) during a reset period is disclosed. Firstly, a first erase pulse, being positive in polarity and increasing in magnitude with time, is applied to a first electrode so as to remove wall charges from the pixel units. Then, a first priming pulse of negative polarity and a second priming pulse of positive polarity increases in magnitude with time and are respectively applied to the first electrode and a second electrode so as to produce the wall charges in the pixel units. Finally, a second erase pulse, being positive in polarity and increasing in magnitude with time, is applied to the first electrode so as to remove the redundant wall charges.
