Abstract
An apparatus for driving a three-electrode alternating current (AC) surface discharge plasma display panel (PDP) includes a scanning driver, an address driver, a common driver and a controller. The scanning driver, in which a scanning circuit is combined with a discharge sustaining circuit with respect to each of the scan electrode lines, applies scanning signals to scan electrode lines in response to scan data in a predetermined scanning order during an address period for forming wall charges at pixels to be selected and also applies discharge sustaining signals to scan electrode lines in response to discharge sustain data during a sustain-discharge period for generating light at the selected pixels.
