In a plasma display device including: a plasma display panel having scan electrodes, sustain electrodes, and address electrodes; scan electrode driving circuits; a sustain electrode driving circuit; and an address electrode driving circuit, each sub-field has a reset period, an address period in which scan pulses are sequentially applied to the scan electrodes, and address pulses are applied to the data electrodes in synchronization with the application to select cells to be turned on, and a sustain period in which the selected cells are turned on. An identical line detecting circuit for detecting display identical lines on which the turned-on cells on one line are identical in each sub-field is provided, and the scan electrode driving circuit simultaneously applies the scan pulses to a plurality of scan electrodes corresponding to the display identical lines in the address period.
