A plasma display apparatus and a driving method thereof are disclosed. The plasma display apparatus includes a plasma display panel comprising a first electrode and a second electrode, and a driver for applying a plurality of sustain signals to the second electrode while applying two consecutive sustain signals to the first electrode in a sustain period. A method of driving a plasma display apparatus includes applying a first sustain signal to a first electrode in a sustain period, after applying the first sustain signal to the first electrode, applying a plurality of sustain signals to a second electrode, and after applying the plurality of sustain signals to the second electrode, applying a second sustain signal consecutive to the first sustain signal to the first electrode.

Plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof to reduce after-images

A plasma display apparatus comprises a driver for supplying a rising signal of finite slope and a scan signal of negative polarity to a scan electrode using one voltage source. The driver also supplies a falling signal to the scan electrode using the same voltage source. This apparatus may be used to perform a panel driving method that includes applying a rising signal, which rises from a first voltage to a second voltage, to the scan electrode during a reset period and applying a scan signal, of a magnitude at least substantially the same as a difference between the first voltage and the second voltage, to the scan electrode during an address period.
