A display panel has a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes disposed adjacently and alternately with the first electrodes, a plurality of third electrodes formed to cross the first and second electrodes, and a control circuit for carrying out an address discharge during the second electrodes and the third electrodes. The control circuit carries out a sustain discharge to decrease the volume of wall charges, accumulated on a display cell in which a sustain discharge is not intended, to a level which cannot generate a sustain discharge.
