Abstract
A driving apparatus for driving a plasma display panel and a method of driving the same are disclosed. The plasma display panel includes multiple display cells, with each of the display cells comprising a sustain electrode, a scan electrode, and a data electrode. Every set of the electrodes has a corresponding driving circuit to provide a required driving waveform for driving the display cell to luminesce. The driving method includes the following steps: first, a first erase pulse, a priming pulse, and a second erase pulse are applied in sequence during a reset period. Then, data pulses corresponding to the display cells are applied during an address period. Lastly, multiple sustain pulses and multiple high frequency driving pulses are applied simultaneously during a sustain period.
