Abstract
A plasma display device including a plasma display panel (PDP), a temperature detector for detecting temperature of the PDP, a driver for applying a driving voltage to a scan electrode, and a controller for generating a control signal to control the driver according to the temperature. The driver includes a transistor and first and second resistors. The transistor is coupled between a first power source and the scan electrode. The first power source supplies a scan voltage to the scan electrode. At least one of the first resistor and the second resistor is a variable resistor having a resistance that varies according to the control signal of the controller. A low discharge due to high temperature can be reduced or prevented, and the number of power sources of the plasma display device can be reduced.
