ABSTRACT:
A method for driving a gas discharge panel having plural display electrode pairs and plural select electrodes arranged to intersect the display electrode pairs. The intersections of the select electrodes and one display electrode in each display electrode pair define a plurality of select cells and each display electrode pair defines plural display cells between the display electrodes at positions adjacent to respective ones of the select cells. The method includes the steps of applying a firing voltage across a display electrode pair to generate discharges in the display cells defined by the display electrode pair, generating a discharge in select cells corresponding to non-selected display cells, thereby eliminating the wall charge in and erasing the non-selected display cells, and applying a sustaining voltage across the display electrode pair to maintain discharges in the selected display cells.
