ABSTRACT:
The object of the invention is to provide a driving method and a driving apparatus for PDPs (Plasma Display Panels) which make it possible to inhibit error address discharges that may occur in a PDP in which a plurality of pairs of display electrodes, each made up of a scan electrode and a sustain electrode, are disposed in stripes, and the sustain electrodes from different cells are positioned adjacent to each other due to the fact that, in some of the cells, the scan electrode and the sustain electrode are disposed in a different order than in other cells.In order to achieve the object, it is arranged so that the sustain electrodes positioned adjacent to each other belong to different groups such as a-group and b-group, and when an address discharge is generated in a cell whose sustain electrode belong to the a-group, a predetermined voltage is applied to the a-group sustain electrodes, while a voltage being lower then the predetermined voltage is applied to the b-group sustain electrodes that are each positioned adjacent to the a-group sustain electrodes. Thus, it is possible to inhibit occurrence of improper address discharges because the potential difference between (a) the scan electrode of the cell having an address discharge and (b) the b-group sustain electrode of the adjacent cell is smaller than it is in the prior art.
