Abstract:
1. A plasma display apparatus comprising: a plasma display panel including a scan electrode and a sustain electrode that are positioned parallel to each other, and an address electrode crossing the scan electrode and the sustain electrode; and a driver configured to supply a reset signal to the scan electrode and a first signal, a direction of which is the same as a direction of the reset signal, the sustain electrode in a reset period of at least one of a plurality of subfields of a frame, wherein the first signal overlaps a predetermined period during which the reset signal rises to a maximum voltage and then again rises to a voltage less than the maximum voltage, wherein the reset signal falls from the maximum voltage to a first voltage greater than a ground level voltage and then again rises to a second voltage that is greater than the first voltage and is less than the maximum voltage in the predetermined period, and wherein a magnitude of the first voltage is substantially equal to a voltage magnitude of a scan signal supplied to the scan electrode in an address period following the reset period.
