(54) Method for driving display panel


(57) A method for driving a display panel having capability to provide good image display with suppressed flickers and dither patterns respectively assigns brightness weight values to a plurality of successive display lines belonging to each of display line groups. An emission period within a unit display period of one pixel cell belonging to one display line differs from that of another pixel cell belonging to another display line based on this brightness weight values. In this instance, the emission operation of the pixel cell during this emission period is separated into a first half section and a latter half section within a unit display period. Further, relationship of the length of an emission period in the first half section to that in the latter half section is reversed between one discharge cell belonging to one display line and another discharge cell belonging to another display line among the same display line group.
