Abstract
A progressive display is realized that has an electrode structure in which two neighboring rows share a display electrode. A PDP has display electrodes arranged so that two neighboring rows share one electrode for display, and the display electrodes crosses an address electrode in each column. A row selection is performed by temporarily biasing one display electrode Yj of the electrode pair corresponding to the selected row to the selecting potential Vy, while an addressing is performed by controlling the potential of the address electrode Ak in accordance with the display data. At that time, the cell-selecting voltage Vay that is applied to the interelectrode AY between the display electrode Yj and the address electrode Ak made lower than the discharge starting voltage VAY of the interelectrode AY. A row selection voltage Vxy that is lower than the discharge starting voltage VXY is applied to the interelectrode XY between the display electrodes of the electrode pair corresponding to the selected row, so that an address discharge is generated.
