In a driving method for driving a plasma display panel, achieving improvements
on luminous efficiency, brightness and contrast, as well as, low voltage and low
power consumption, and also high-speed addressing and sustain therewith, wherein
onto a second display electrode is applied pulse voltage in reverse polarity with
sustain pulse voltage, nearly in synchronism with the sustain pulse voltage to
be applied onto a first display electrode, thereby shifting initial discharge (or,
pre-charge) caused between the first display electrode and a metal electrode of
a partition portion after the generation thereof into display discharge, thereby
forming wall charge and wall voltage on the second display electrode.
