Abstract
A driving method of a plasma display panel and a driving circuit thereof are disclosed. In the method, image data is inputted by applying a scanning pulse to the scanning electrode and selectively applying a data pulse to the data electrode during an address period. Then, a first pulse and a second pulse of different phase are respectively applied to the first sustaining electrode and the second sustaining electrode during a sustain period. A third pulse is applied to the scanning electrode to sustain the image data. A first discharge current and a second discharge current are occurred, an time interval is formed between the discharge currents to reduce an instant power consumption of the PDP. The driving method is also used to reduce the electromagnetic interference and increases the operation margin.
