Driving method for an alternating-current plasma display panel device

Abstract

An alternating-current plasma display panel (AC PDP) and a method for driving same are provided that reduce or remove flickering and increase luminance. The AC PDP can include first electrodes connected to one another, second electrodes for display lines that are in parallel with the first electrodes, and addressing electrodes provided orthogonal to the first and second electrodes. The first and second electrodes perform a wall charge accumulation function and form display lines. The method for driving the AC PDP can include writing a sub-frame to the plasma display panel device (PDP) in an addressing period for maintenance discharge to an odd(even) sub-frame and simultaneously performing the maintenance discharge on the even(odd) sub-frame. Then, carrying out the maintenance discharge on the odd(even) sub-frame, and at the same time writing the sub-frame to the plasma display panel device in the addressing period for the next succeeding maintenance discharge to the even(odd) sub-frame. Thus, a frame displaying an image is preferably divided into odd sub-frames and even sub-frames, and the maintenance discharge is carried out on each other in the respective addressing periods to remove flicker and improve a screen luminance.
