Abstract:
1. A plasma display apparatus, comprising: a first electrode formed on an upper substrate; and a first electrode driver for applying a driving signal to the first electrode, wherein the first electrode driver applies a sustain pulse during a sustain period, the sustain pulse comprising: an interval in which the sustain pulse rises from a ground voltage to a first voltage; an interval in which the first voltage is substantially constant for a predetermined period of time; an interval in which the sustain pulse rises from the first voltage to a second voltage; an interval in which the second voltage is substantially constant for a predetermined period of time; an interval in which the sustain pulse falls from the second voltage to the first voltage after the interval in which the second voltage is substantially constant; and an interval in which the sustain voltage falls from the first voltage to the ground voltage, wherein in the interval in which the sustain pulse falls from the second voltage to the first voltage, the voltage decreases by resonation with an inductor provided at the first electrode driver and a panel capacitor.
