Method and device for driving plasma display

Abstract

A method for driving a plasma display panel applies, within a subfield among the n subfields, a narrow-width pulse having a pulse width equal to or less than 2 µs to first electrodes (X) in order to cause an erase discharge while terminating a discharge caused between the first and second electrodes (X,Y), and applies a voltage pulse to third electrodes (A) so that the voltage pulse falls at the same time as the narrow-width pulse falls.
