Provided is a technique for preventing discharge of a protective film due to an increase in driving voltage and stabilizing discharge while improving luminous efficiency by increasing Xe partial pressure in a PDP. A plasma display apparatus that performs a drive including a sustain discharge for at least light emission display, and performs a two-stage discharge drive that generates a pre-discharge and subsequently a main discharge, and sets a voltage at the time of the main discharge to Vs, Assuming that the sustain minimum sustain voltage is Vsmin, and the pre-voltage Vp at the time of pre-discharge when the two-stage discharge is stabilized is Vpmin, Vpmin ≦ Vp <Vs−10, Vpmin = 2Vsmin−Vs−α A plasma display device, wherein Vp is set so that (α depends on a cell structure).
