Structure and driving method of a plasma display panel

A driving method of a plasma display panel comprising:

• stripe-like anodes and barrier ribs formed on an upper face plate;
• first sustaining electrodes formed on the whole inner surface of a lower rear plate, and covered with a dielectric material;
• and stripe-like cathodes formed on said dielectric material and connected to the respective capacitors via a common node, thereby serving as second sustaining electrodes,
• wherein said first sustaining electrode is supplied with a pulse varying from ground potential to a first positive potential, from said first positive potential back to ground potential, and then from ground potential to a first negative potential;
• said second sustaining electrode is supplied with a pulse varying from ground potential to said first negative potential, from said first negative potential back to ground potential, and then from ground potential to said first positive potential;
• said anode is supplied with a writing pulse varying from a third positive potential to a fourth positive potential for data writing, when said pulses of said first and second sustaining electrodes are both at ground potential and said cathode is supplied with a negative scanning pulse varying from a third negative potential to a fourth negative potential;
• and
• said cathode is supplied with a negative erasing pulse having an amplitude equal to the difference between said third and fourth potentials, for erasing said written data after a predetermined time has elapsed.
