Abstract
An apparatus for driving a plasma display panel and a method for processing pictures of a plasma display panel. An input video signal is converted into sub-field data. It is determined whether address consumption power of the sub-field data is high. When the address consumption power is high, interlaced scanning is carried out. It is determined whether lines having sub-field data items identical or similar in a row direction exist using the sub-field data. The lines are sequentially scanned. Accordingly, the number of times of switching address electrodes is reduced and thus the address consumption power is decreased.
