Abstract

A plasma display panel driving system having common X electrodes arranged on a front glass substrate driven in common, independent Y electrodes arranged parallel to the common X electrodes on the front glass substrate driven independently, address A electrodes arranged perpendicular to the common X electrodes and the independent Y electrodes on the back glass substrate driven independently, and means for performing at least one electric discharge for equalizing electrically charged particles in a cell in which another electrically charged particle is produced beforehand, thereby improving contrast. Erasing and polarization of electrically charged particles are performed by a fine line erasing pulse after a sustaining period, and an equalizing pulse having a high voltage level is supplied to the independent Y electrode to which the last fine line erasing pulse is supplied, and a regulating pulse is supplied to the common X electrode after supplying the equalizing pulse. Further, a field block having plurality of sub-fields are provided, and a full writing electric discharge and a fine line erasing electric discharge are performed in the first sub-field of each field block for reduci…
