Abstract

Plasma display panel (PDP), PDP display apparatus, and method for driving the PDP. The PDP is a surface discharge AC PDP having a first substrate and a second substrate arranged to face each other with barrier ribs interposed therebetween. A first electrode and a second electrode are arranged on a facing surface of the first substrate so as to extend parallel to each other, and are covered with a dielectric layer. A third electrode is arranged on a facing surface of the second substrate so as to extend orthogonally to the first and second electrodes. A discharge gas is enclosed within a discharge space defined between the interposed barrier ribs. In the above PDP, the discharge gas is a gas mixture containing xenon. The xenon component comprises at least 5 vol % and less than 100 vol %, and has a partial pressure of at least 2 kPa. Furthermore, the gap between the first and second electrodes in the PDP is greater than a height of the discharge space.
