    Abstract: A plasma display panel comprises a display array and an electrode driver. The display array is constructed by sustaining electrodes, scan electrodes, and electrodes. Each scan electrode is parallel to the sustaining electrodes and disposed between two sustaining electrodes. The electrode driver drives a first scan electrode and a second scan electrode adjacent to the first scan electrode. In a first period, discharge occurs between the first scan electrode and a first sustaining electrode on one side of the first scan electrode to display a first image. In a second period different from the first period, discharge occurs between the first scan electrode and a second sustaining electrode on the other side of the first scan electrode to display a second image.
