Abstract

A method for displaying an image with gradation and a high brightness with a plasma display panel is provided. In this method, one field is divided into eight subfields, and each subfield is divided into an addressing period and sustaining period. In the upper four bits b.sub.4, b.sub.5, b.sub.6, and b.sub.7, in which the sustaining period is long, all of the scanning electrodes are scanned sequentially. In the lower four bits b.sub.0, b.sub.1, b.sub.2 and b.sub.3, in which the sustaining period is short, the scanning electrodes are scanned alternately by interlace scanning.
