Patent ID: 7639214

Claim:
A plasma display apparatus, comprising: a plasma display panel comprising a plurality of scan electrodes, a plurality of sustain electrodes, and a plurality of data electrodes intersecting the plurality of scan electrodes and the plurality of sustain electrodes; and a controller for scanning the scan electrodes using one of a plurality of scan types in which the order of scanning the plurality of scan electrodes is different in an address period, for applying a data pulse to the data electrodes corresponding to one scan type, and for controlling a difference between an application time point of a last sustain pulse, which are applied to the scan electrodes or the sustain electrode in a sustain period subsequent to the address period, and an application time point of a reset pulse, which is applied to the scan electrodes in a reset period of a next sub-field, to be more than a difference between application time points of the two sustain pulses, in at least one of the sub-fields of a frame.
