Abstract
A driving method of a plasma display device, the plasma display device having a plurality of first and second electrodes disposed adjacent to each other and a plurality of third electrodes disposed so as to intersect with the first and second electrodes, the driving method includes providing a reset period, an address period and a sustain discharge period for driving of the plasma display device, applying to the second electrode in the reset period a voltage with a waveform in which an applied voltage value increases with time, shortening a sustain time of achieved potential of the voltage with the waveform when a first display ratio of an input video signal is low as compared with a second display ratio which is higher than the first display ratio.
