Plasma display device

A plasma display device comprising:

• a plasma display panel including:
• a front plate having display electrode pairs on a first glass substrate, a dielectric layer disposed so as to cover the display electrode pairs, and a protective layer disposed on the dielectric layer;
• a back plate having data electrodes on a second glass substrate, the back plate being disposed opposite to the front plate;
• and
• discharge cells formed at intersecting positions of the display electrode pairs and the data electrodes;
• and
• a panel driving circuit for driving the plasma display panel in a manner that a plurality of subfields are temporally disposed to form one field period, each of the subfields having an address period for generating an address discharge and a sustain period for generating a sustain discharge in the discharge cells,
• wherein the protective layer has
• a base protective layer formed of a thin film of containing metal oxide;
• and
• a particle layer formed in a manner that aggregated particles of plurality of single-crystal particles of magnesium oxide are stuck on the base protective layer, and
• wherein the panel driving circuit drives the plasma display panel in a manner that an initializing discharge for forming wall charge is generated in a first subfield of the plurality of subfields, and an address discharge for erasing wall charge is generated in an address period of the plurality of subfields.
