PURPOSE: A method for driving plasma display panel and a plasma display device are provided to obtain the high resolution by reducing pitches between pixels. CONSTITUTION: In the device, a control circuit converts the display data DATA supplied from the outside to data for the PDP(10), supplies them to a shift register(221) of an address circuit(22) and, based upon a clock signal CLK, a vertical synchronization signal VSYNC and a horizontal synchronization signal HSYNC provided from the outside, generates various control signals which are provided to components(22-27). In order to apply the voltages with the waveforms to the electrodes, voltages Vaw, Va and Ve are supplied to the address circuit(22) and voltages -Vc, -Vy and Vs are supplied to an odd-numbered Y sustain circuit(24) and an even-numbered Y sustain circuit(25), and voltages Vw, Vx and Vs are supplied to an odd-numbered X sustain circuit(26) and an even-numbered X sustain circuit(27), from a power source circuit(power supply circuit)(29). The numerical values inside the shift register(221) are used to identify elements which are structured identically to each other and, for instance, indicates the third bit of the shift register(221). The same applies to other component elements.
