Method of driving plasma display device, plasma display device, and plasma display system

A plasma display apparatus comprising:

• a plasma display panel having a plurality of discharge cells arranged therein, each of the discharge cells having 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 field for a right eye and a field for a left eye on the plasma display panel, an image signal for the right eye being displayed in the field for the right eye, and an image signal for the left eye being displayed in the field for the left eye, in each of the field for the right eye and the field for the left eye, a subfield having a smallest luminance weight occurring first, a subfield having a largest luminance weight occurring next, and other subfields occurring thereafter,
• in the subfield having the smallest luminance weight and the subfield having the largest luminance weight, the driver circuit performs one-line address operation for applying a scan pulse to each scan electrode, and
• in the other subfields, the driver circuit performs two-line simultaneous address operation for applying a scan pulse simultaneously to two adjacent scan electrodes.

• the driver circuit includes a timing signal output part for outputting a timing signal in synchronization with the field for the right eye and the field for the left eye;
• and
• a pair of shutter glasses for opening and closing a right eye shutter and a left eye shutter based on a timing signal output from the timing signal output part.
