Abstract
Circuit and method for driving a plasma display panel, the method including the steps of (1) applying first scan pulses to a first driving block, which is any one of the driving blocks, in every given driving cycle starting from a first scan electrode line to (n)th scan electrode line in succession, and (2) applying second scan pulses each having a given application time difference from the application time of the first scan pulse to a second driving block adjacent to the first driving block starting from (m)th scan line to a first scan line in a reverse sequence to the first scan pulses, whereby preventing an occurrence of flicker because interfaces between driving blocks are continuous with respect to and providing a PDP having a resolution better than an HDTV because intervals of scan pulse application to adjacent lines are short.
