Abstract
A method of driving a plasma display panel including (A) a first substrate including a first electrode, and a second electrode extending in parallel with the first electrode and defining a display area with the first electrode therebetween, and (B) a second substrate including a third electrode facing the first and second electrodes and extending perpendicularly to the first and second electrodes, includes (a) applying a serrate voltage having an inclined waveform in which a voltage varies with the lapse of time, to the first and/or second electrodes, and (b) applying a preliminary charge-eliminating pulse voltage to the first and/or second electrodes after the a charge-eliminating discharge has been generated due to the serrate voltage, wherein the preliminary charge-eliminating pulse voltage eliminates electric charges only when electric charges have not been sufficiently eliminated.
