Abstract

A length of an addressing period in a first sub-field is made shorter as time from an end of a second sub-field which provides light emission just previously to the first sub-field in a frame including the first and second sub-fields to a start of the first sub-field decreases, and as the number of sustain pulses in the second sub-field increases.

Claims (15)

1 - 19 . (canceled)

20 . A driving method for driving a plasma display panel comprising the step of:

applying scan pulses within an addressing period of a sub-field and then sustain pulses within a sustain period of said sub-field,

wherein a width of scan pulses appearing in sub-field of a frame are wider than scan pulses appearing in any one of subsequent sub-fields of said frame.

21 . The driving method for driving a plasma display panel according to claim 20 , wherein the number of sustain pulses in a leading sub-field of a frame is smaller than in any subsequent sub-field of said frame.

22 . A driving method for driving a plasma display panel comprising the steps of:

applying scan pulses within an addressing period of a sub-field and then sustain pulses within a sustain period of said sub-field,

wherein a width of scan pulses in at least one sub-field of a first frame are narrower than scan pulses in a corresponding sub-field of a second frame when an average luminance level of said first frame is lower than that of said second frame.

23 . The driving method for driving a plasma display panel according to claim 22 , wherein the number of sustain pulses in a leading sub-field of a frame is smaller than in any subsequent sub-field of said frame.

24 . A driving circuit for driving a plasma display panel comprising:

a pulse applying portion which applies scan pulses within an addressing period of a sub-field and then sustain pulses within a sustain period of said sub-field,

wherein a width of scan pulses appearing in a sub-field of a frame are wider than scan pulses appearing in any one of subsequent sub-fields of said frame.

25 . A driving circuit for driving a plasma display panel comprising:

a pulse applying portion which applies scan pulses within an addressing period of a sub-field and then sustain pulses within a sustain period of said sub-field,

wherein a width of scan pulses in at least one sub-field of a first frame are narrower than scan pulses in a corresponding sub-field of a second frame when an average luminance level of said first frame is lower than that of said second frame.
