1. A plasma display panel comprising:
a discharge space;
a plurality of discharge electrodes including an electrode having a function of addressing;
said discharge space being filled with a discharge-gas mixture containing at least Xe, Ne and He; and
a circuit which applies a voltage pulse to said electrode having a function of addressing, thereby producing a write-discharge in said discharge space,
wherein a Xe proportion of said discharge-gas mixture is in a range of from 2% to 20%,
a He proportion of said discharge-gas mixture is in a range of from 15% to 50%,
said He proportion being greater than said Xe proportion, and
a width of said voltage pulse is 2 μs or less.
