Abstract

By inserting a pre-discharge erasing voltage holding time of more than 5 microseconds after a potential change of a pre-discharge erasing pulse, and by inserting a pre-sustaining erasing period between the scanning period and the sustaining period, the residual wall charge is made constant regardless of the discharge characteristics of each cell and it becomes possible to reduce the erroneous discharge without eliminating the effective voltage distribution due to superposing the residual wall charge and the scanning voltage. By increasing the scanning pulse voltage due to the finally attained voltage of the pre-discharge erasing pulse and by superposing the wall charge corresponding to the potential difference of the finally attained voltage of the pre-discharge erasing pulse and the scanning pulse voltage, on the scanning pulse voltage, it is possible to reduce the data voltage and the scanning voltage.
