Plasma display panel (PDP) and driving method thereof

A method of driving a Plasma Display Panel (PDP), the method comprising:

• forming a wall charge necessary for a sustain discharge in discharge cells during a reset period;
• generating an address discharge to select discharge cells in which the sustain discharge will not be generated during an address period;
• and
• supplying a negative sustain pulse to generate the sustain discharge in discharge cells in which the address discharge will not be generated during a sustain period.

A Plasma Display Panel (PDP) in which one frame is divided into a plurality of sub fields, each of the sub fields being divided into a reset period, an address period, and a sustain period, the PDP comprising:

• discharge cells arranged at intersect points of scan electrodes, sustain electrodes, and address electrodes;
• a scan driver supplying a drive wave to the scan electrodes;
• a sustain driver supplying the drive wave to the sustain electrodes;
• and
• an address driver supplying the drive wave pulse to the address electrodes and selecting discharge cells to be turned-off during the address period;
• wherein the scan driver and the sustain driver alternately supply a sustain pulse having a negative sustain voltage during the sustain period.
