Abstract: The present invention provides a gray level display AC-type PDP driving method comprising (a) dividing a single image frame into n number of subframes, each of the subframes having predetermined number of sustaining pulses; (b) selecting scan electrodes whose number is identical to the number of said subframes, assigning specific subframes to said selected scan electrodes, sequentially providing scanning pulses having different phases on said selected scan electrodes and applying addressing pulses on said data electrodes in order to designate pixels to be displayed, and alternately supplying the predetermined number of sustaining pulses onto the selected scan electrodes and said data electrodes, to thereby display said assigned subframes for said selected display lines; (c) shifting by one or more than scan electrode(s) from each of said selected scan electrodes; and (d) repeating said shifting of step (c) and displaying of said assigned subframes until each of said divided subframes is displayed for all the
