Abstract
An apparatus for driving a plasma display panel including scan electrodes, sustain electrodes, and panel capacitors formed between the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes is disclosed In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a scan integrated circuit for supplying a scan voltage to the scan electrodes, a sustain discharge voltage generator for applying the first voltage and the second voltage to the scan electrodes, and a rising reset waveform generator for applying a rising reset waveform rising from a third voltage to a fourth voltage to the scan electrode. In the plasma display panel according to the present invention, a transistor for applying a rising reset waveform is coupled to a transistor to eliminate a conventional main switch.
