Abstract: In a plasma display panel driving method, during a selection period B, the potential of sustain electrodes 3 are fixed to a first auxiliary scan voltage Vnsw once. Thereafter, in the sustain electrode 3i corresponding to an (i)th scan electrode 2i in the scanning order for applying the scan pulse Vw, the sustain electrode potential is sequentially changed to a second auxiliary scan voltage Vpsw at a timing which is later than the application of the (i)th scan pulse Vwi by a half of the pulse width of the (i)th scan pulse Vwi. The first auxiliary scan voltage Vnsw is a voltage which never generates a surface electric discharge between the scan electrode 2.
