A plasma display and a method of driving the plasma display. The control section receives a number n of instruction values of a first group and produces and outputs a number p of instruction values of a second group p<2n) in accordance with the n instruction values of the first group. There are thin neck parts extending from the base plates of the positive and negative electrodes to form the current collectors of the positive and negative electrodes. The single storage phosphor plate is housed within the shell and is adapted to be at least partially removable from the shell through the first and second open ends. Converting re-allocated sectors into slipped or skipped sectors can prevent such a delay, since slipped sectors cause much less or even negligible performance loss than re-allocated sectors.
