Abstract
The method for driving a plasma display panel having a first substrate on which a plural of first electrodes and a plural of second electrodes are placed in parallel to each other, and a second substrate on which a plural of third electrodes placed so as to face the plurality of first and second electrodes and formed in a manner that the plurality of the third electrodes is extended in a direction orthogonal to the plurality of the first and second electrodes, the method including: a step of applying a voltage having an inclined waveform which changes with time to the first or second electrode; and a step of setting time of occurrence of discharge so that, in each of the display cells, time of occurrence of facing discharge between the first or second electrode to which the voltage having the inclined waveform is applied and the third electrode comes earlier than earliest time of occurrence of surface discharge between the first and second electrodes corresponding to each other.
