A plasma display device and a method for driving a Plasma Display Panel (PDP), which can reduce power consumption without causing display malfunction or reducing image quality, are provided. When the input of an image signal is stopped or when an input image signal is in an entirely-black image state, the application of a drive pulse for driving the PDP is stopped. Here, when the input of the image signal is resumed or when the input image signal switches from the entirely-black image state to a normal image state, the absolute value of a peak potential of the drive pulse or the pulse width thereof is increased to increase the strength of discharge until a predetermined period elapses after the resumption or switching and then the absolute value of a peak potential of the drive pulse or the pulse width is returned to a normal absolute value or a normal pulse width.
A method for driving a plasma display panel including a discharge cell corresponding to a pixel wherein a variety of drive pulses are applied to the plasma display panel to display an image represented by an input image signal, the method comprising:
