Abstract
The present invention relates to a technique for driving a surface discharge type plasma display panel, and more particularly, it is an object of the present invention to freely perform setting without increasing a rating required for an IC having an address driver when a high voltage is to be output from an address electrode for a priming discharge period and a sustain discharge period. In order to attain the above-mentioned object, if the same voltage is simultaneously output to all address electrodes switches are turned off and on in a circuit respectively and a cathode of a diode and an anode of a diode are conducted. Then, the switches are forcedly turned off and on, respectively. In a circuit switches are turned on and off respectively and a voltage Va2 is substantially applied to all the address electrodes through the diode.
