Plasma display device drive method, plasma display device and plasma display system

A plasma display apparatus comprising:

• a plasma display panel having a plurality of discharge cells each of which has a scan electrode, a sustain electrode, and a data electrode;
• and
• a driver circuit for driving the plasma display panel,
• wherein the driver circuit alternately displays a right-eye image and a left-eye image on the plasma display panel by alternately repeating a right-eye field and a left-eye field, the right-eye field having a plurality of subfields and displaying a right-eye image signal, the left-eye field having a plurality of subfields and displaying a left-eye image signal,
• wherein each of the subfields includes an address period for performing an address operation and a sustain period for performing a sustain operation;
• and
• wherein an address operation is prohibited in a subfield disposed last in a field of a discharge cell for displaying gradation of a predetermined threshold or higher.

• providing each of the subfields with an address period for performing an address operation and a sustain period for performing a sustain operation;
• and
• displaying, on the plasma display panel, an image where an address operation is prohibited in a subfield disposed last in the right-eye field or the left-eye field in a discharge cell for displaying gradation of a predetermined threshold or higher;
• and
• a timing signal output section for outputting a timing signal synchronous with the right-eye field and the left-eye field;
• and
• shutter glasses that have a receiving section for receiving the timing signal output from the timing signal output section, a right-eye shutter, and a left-eye shutter, and open and close the right-eye shutter and the left-eye shutter based on the timing signal.
