Plasma display device

Abstract

A plasma display device is configured as having a first display line containing a first scanning electrode in a display region; a first non-display line including a second scanning electrode outside the display region; a first potential line capable of applying a first potential of a scanning pulse, the scanning pulse being composed of the first potential and a second potential; a second potential line capable of applying the second potential of the scanning pulse; a first switch connected between the first potential line and the first scanning electrode; a second switch connected between the second potential line and the first scanning electrode; and a first rectifying element connected between the first and second scanning electrodes, so as to make the plasma display device possible to generate voltage for the scanning electrode, without supplying any scanning pulse to the scanning electrodes outside the display region.
