Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of driving an AC-type plasma display panel and plasma display apparatus, in which differences between scan lines are reduced, so that it is advantageous in high-speed driving and it is stable, in which the power consumption is not concentrated on a specific period, so that a power circuit is easily designed, in which the degradation of phosphor and degradation of image quality, such as an afterimage, due to an increase in the temperature of a panel can be prevented, and in which an ability to display low gray scales is improved and pseudo contour noise is easily reduced. In the plasma display panel driving method, the image information has one or more frames each divided into one or more sub-fields used to display gray scales through combinations of the sub-fields. The sub-fields are each divided into one or more driving units T each having an address period, a sustain period and an erase period that are temporally separated.

The energy recovery driver circuit comprises an energy recovery part interposed between the sustain driver circuits for the X1 and X2 electrodes and the other energy recovery part interposed between the sustain driver circuits for Y1 and Y2 electrodes, wherein X1 and Y1 electrodes are respectively defined as electrodes of a first and a second type of electrodes employed in the first AC-PDP cell group, and X2 and Y2 electrodes are respectively defined as electrodes of the first and the second type of electrodes employed in the second AC-PDP cell group. Thus the energy recovery circuit of the present invention utilizes the effect of reducing the load capacitance to a half of its original value, when two (2) loads are serially connected.
