A plasma display apparatus and a method of driving the plasma display apparatus are provided. A maintenance period of a sustain signal changes depending on a temperature of a plasma display panel or an ambient temperature of the plasma display panel.

Plasma display apparatus and method of driving plasma display apparatus

A method of driving a plasma display apparatus is provided. The method of driving the plasma display apparatus includes applying a first pulse to a first electrode, applying a second pulse to a second electrode after the application of the first pulse, and applying a falling ramp pulse to the first electrode after the application of the second pulse.

Method of driving plasma display apparatus with overlapping reset pulses and a second ramp-down pulse

Provided is a plasma display apparatus having a plasma display panel constituted of a plurality of discharge cells, and a driver for driving the panel. The apparatus includes a scan IC (integrated circuit) having a first switch turning on to apply a first signal to the panel, and a second switch turning on to apply a second signal to the panel, wherein, when the first signal applied to the panel changes into the second signal, the first and second switches are floated between an application period of the first signal and an application period of the second signal.

Plasma display apparatus

The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus, and more particularly, to a plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof, wherein a sustain waveform can be improved. According to the present invention, the plasma display apparatus includes a plasma display panel comprising a plurality of sustain electrode pairs wherein each of the sustain electrode pairs has a scan electrode and a sustain electrode, and a sustain waveform controller for controlling a rising time or a falling time of sustain waveforms supplied to at least one of the sustain electrode pairs according to a temperature of the plasma display panel. The sustain waveform controller controls a time corresponding to a time point at which a sustain discharge is generated, of the rising time and the falling time. The present invention improves a plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof. Accordingly, there is an effect in that erroneous discharge depending on a temperature of a plasma display panel can be prevented.

Plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof

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.
