The lifetime of the DC PDP (Plasma Display panel or Gas-discharge panel) which has resistor in each cell and relatively high gas pressure has been examined, under the operation of pulse-memory drive scheme. Over 10,000 hours-lifetime has been confirmed under the condition of 300Torr(He-xe10%) and Al cathode. The result is agreed with the estimation from the previous experiments with a cell. During the lifetime test, in spite of the decrease of operating voltage, no decrease of operational margin and no change of resistance were observed.
