| 1. A method for driving a plasma display panel (PDP) comprising a plurality of first electrodes and second electrodes in parallel
on a first substrate, and a plurality of third electrodes crossing the first and second electrodes and being on a second substrate,
said first, second, and third electrodes defining a plurality of discharge cells, the PDP being driven during a plurality
of subfields of a frame, at least one of the plurality of subfields comprising a first reset period, a second reset period
immediately following the first reset period, an address period and a sustain period, the method comprising:
setting the plurality of discharge cells in the first reset period, wherein the first reset period comprises a rising voltage
period and a falling voltage period, and a reset waveform applied to the first electrodes gradually rises during the rising
voltage period and gradually falls during the falling voltage period;
further setting the plurality of discharge cells in the second reset period;
selecting at least one discharge cell from among the plurality of discharge cells in the address period; and
discharging said at least one discharge cell in the sustain period.
