Abstract: A Plasma Display Panel (PDP) having enhanced efficiency includes: first and second substrates arranged facing each other and defining a space therebetween partitioned into at least one discharge cell; a phosphor layer arranged in the at least one discharge cell; an address electrode arranged along a first direction in the space between the first and second substrates; and first and second electrodes electrically insulated from the address electrode and arranged along a second direction crossing the first direction at opposite sides of each of the at least one discharge cells in the space between the first and second substrates. At least one of the first and second electrodes includes a plurality of electrode portions that are separate from each other.

Abstract: A plasma display panel includes a plurality of discharge cells used to realize the display of images by gas discharge. The plasma display panel is divided into a display region where images are displayed and a non-display region where display does not occur. The plasma display panel includes first electrodes, second electrodes, and third electrodes intersecting the first and second electrodes. Fourth and fifth electrodes are formed in the non-display region spaced apart from each other. In a method of driving a plasma display panel, a voltage is applied at least one time to each of the fourth and fifth electrodes prior to applying a scan voltage to the second electrode that is scanned lastly among the second electrodes.
