Abstract
A method of driving a plasma display panel having front and rear substrates disposed opposite each other, parallel X and Y electrode lines formed between the front and rear substrates, and address electrode lines formed orthogonal to the X and Y electrode lines to define corresponding discharge cells at interconnections, the X electrode lines are in X groups, and the Y electrode lines are in Y groups, where no two adjacent pairs of adjacent X and Y electrode lines belong to the same pair of X and Y groups. The X and Y electrode lines of the respective X and Y groups are commonly connected to be driven, and at least first and second subfields are driven in an overlapping manner for displaying gray scales during a unit display period. The method includes a scan step, an address step, a display step, a second driving step, and a repetition step.
