Abstract
A plasma display panel capable of utilizing a radio frequency discharge efficiently and driving method and apparatus thereof are disclosed. In the PDP, each cell is provided with a radio frequency electrode for applying a radio frequency voltage, a data electrode for applying a data voltage, a scanning electrode for applying a scanning voltage, and a discharge space into which discharge gases for causing a gas discharge are injected. Accordingly, a distance between two electrodes used for a radio frequency discharge is assured sufficiently to utilize a smooth radio frequency discharge as a display discharge, thereby improving the brightness and the discharge efficiency. Also, an alternating current discharge having a control easiness is used for the address discharge while a radio frequency discharge having a good efficiency is used for a sustaining discharge, thereby utilizing advantages in the two discharge.
