In AC-PDP, it is necessary to achieve high luminance efficiency, high luminance and high definition by adopting technologies such as high xenon concentration and long gap. However, it is very difficult to apply above technologies because they make many problems such as mis-discharge and high driving voltage. Especially, the reactive power of PDP must be reduced for satisfaction in international standard IEC62087. In this paper, we proposed CLHS driving method which is half sustain driver without energy recovery capacitor. In the experimental results, CLHS driving method reduced reactive power consumption about 10%. Also, CLHS driving method improved the luminance efficiency in all discharge loads. Therefor, the more the discharge load decreases, the more the luminance efficiency improves. When the discharge load is 20%, CLHS driving method improved 5.35%.
