The protective layer of the plasma display panel includes a base protective layer formed of a thin film of a metal oxide containing at least one of magnesium oxide, strontium oxide, calcium oxide, and barium oxide, and a specific surface including a (100) plane and a (111) plane. It consists of a particle layer formed by attaching single crystal particles of magnesium oxide surrounded by two kinds of orientation surfaces or specific three kinds of orientation surfaces including (100) face, (110) face and (111) face to the base protective layer, The panel drive circuit is configured to generate sustain discharge after a first subfield group having a plurality of subfields having an initialization period Ti, a writing period Tw for forming wall charges for generating sustain discharge, and a sustain period Ts. The panel is driven by arranging a writing period Tw for erasing wall charges and a second subfield group having a plurality of subfields having a sustaining period Ts in time, thereby configuring one field period. |
