Abstract

With a plasma display panel, an object of the present invention is to suppress luminance in black display without deteriorating picture quality and to suppress pseudo contouring of moving picture, while suppressing cost of the plasma display panel. According to a plasma display panel driving method of the present invention, a plurality of discharge sustain periods for displaying equal luminance level are successively defined in a given period in one field to reduce the amount of shift of the center of luminance, and address periods for selecting arbitrary display cells on the screen are comprised of two kinds of address periods: a write address period and an erase address period.
