Abstract:
1. A plasma display apparatus comprising: a plurality of scan electrodes; a plurality of data electrodes intersecting with the plurality of scan electrodes; a scan driver for scanning the plurality of scan electrodes during an address period in one scanning type of a plurality of scanning types having different scanning orders, and for supplying at least one scan signal, of which a duration of a voltage rising period is different from a duration of a voltage falling period, to the scan electrodes when scanning the scan electrodes, the at least one scan signal including a first scan signal and a second scan signal; and a data driver for supplying a data signal to the data electrodes depending on the scanning type selected from the plurality of scanning types, wherein: the plurality of scan electrodes includes at least a first group of scan electrodes and a second group of scan electrodes, and the scan driver supplies the first scan signal to the first group of scan electrodes and supplies the second scan signal to the second group of scan electrodes, the first scan signal and the second scan signal having substantially a same period, and the first scan signal and the second scan signal have at least one of a different duration of a voltage rising period or a different duration of a voltage falling period.
