Abstract
An improved plasma display panel and a method for driving the same are disclosed. Illustratively, the plasma display panel includes a plurality of address electrodes and a plurality of scan electrodes and sustain electrodes, and displays video data through dual scanning. A temperature sensor included in the plasma display panel detects a temperature of the plasma display panel. When the detected temperature is determined to be low, a scanning direction in which a voltage is applied to the scan electrodes is controlled such that the plasma panel is scanned from both ends to the center. When the detected temperature is determined to be high, a scanning direction in which a voltage is applied to the scan electrodes is controlled such that the plasma panel is scanned from a top towards the center. Altering the scan direction based on temperature improves picture quality.
