Abstract:
1. An apparatus for driving a plasma display having a plurality of scan electrodes and a plurality of data electrodes that intersect the scan electrode, said apparatus comprising: a scan driver that applies a scan pulse to one of the plurality of scan electrodes; and a data driver that applies a data signal to each of a plurality of data electrode groups, during a time period corresponding to the scan pulse, wherein the application time point for at least one of the plurality of data electrode groups is different from the application time point corresponding to each of the other data electrode groups, and wherein each of the plurality of data electrode groups includes one or more data electrodes, where, during the time period corresponding to the scan pulse, the time difference between each application time point and a next application time point ranges from one-one hundredth of the time period corresponding to the scan pulse width to an amount of time that equals the time period corresponding to the scan pulse.
