The present invention relates to a plasma display panel, and more particularly, to a plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof, in which power consumption can be reduced and contrast can be improved, so that a high contrast image can be displayed. The plasma display apparatus according to the present invention comprises a scan electrode, a sustain electrode, and a controller for applying a rising waveform and a falling waveform to the scan electrode in a reset period of a first subfield of a frame and applying the falling waveform to the scan electrode when a first time elapses, after a first sustain voltage is applied to the scan electrode during a sustain period. The sustain electrode is applied with a second sustain voltage when a second time is elapsed, after the first sustain voltage is applied.

Plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof

A plasma display apparatus and a method of driving the same are disclosed. According to the plasma display apparatus and the method of driving the same, when a plasma display panel (PDP) displays a screen with one frame comprised of a plurality of sub-fields including reset periods, different reset pulses are supplied to a first scan electrode and a second scan electrode in the reset period of an arbitrary sub-field among the plurality of sub-fields.
