ABSTRACT:
A plasma display panel (PDP) is disclosed which includes a plurality of anodes formed on an upper plate, a plurality of first sustaining electrodes and a plurality of alternating second sustaining electrodes and cathodes formed on a lower plate, and a dielectric coated on the first and second sustaining electrodes and cathodes. A method for driving the PDP includes the steps of initiating a discharge by supplying a potential higher than the discharge firing voltage to the anodes and cathodes, generating a predetermined potential between the cathodes and first sustaining electrodes to increase the voltage generated from the discharge-initiating step, supplying a voltage higher than a discharge sustaining voltage between the first and second sustaining electrodes to maintain the discharge, and supplying a narrow pulse to the cathodes for erasing the discharge.
