Abstract
In the method for driving a plasma display panel and the plasma display device, the scan electrodes of the plasma display panel are divided into two scan electrode groups, the address period of subfields is divided into two address periods corresponding to the two scan electrode groups, and at least in one address period, the scan electrodes belonging to the scan electrode group provided with scan pulses are sequentially provided with scan pulses shifting from second voltage higher than scan pulse voltage to scan pulse voltage and shifting again to second voltage, and the scan electrodes belonging to the scan electrode group not provided with scan pulses are provided with either third voltage higher than scan pulse voltage or fourth voltage higher than second voltage and third voltage, and with third voltage at least while scan pulse voltage is applied to adjacent scan electrodes.
