Patent ID: 6963174

Claim:
A plasma display panel driving circuit or a plasma display panel comprising a plurality of address electrodes, a plurality of a pair of a scan electrode and a sustain electrode alternately arranged, and a panel capacitor formed among the scan electrode, the sustain electrode and the address electrode, the plasma display panel driving circuit comprising: first and second signal lines for supplying first and second voltages, and at least one inductor coupled between one end of the panel capacitor and a third voltage; a first current path for coupling the first signal line to the inductor, so that current of a first direction is supplied to the inductor and first energy is stored in a state where one end of the panel capacitor is substantially sustained to be the first voltage; a second current path for generating a resonance between the inductor and the panel capacitor, and substantially decreasing a voltage of one end of the panel capacitor to the second voltage using current caused by the resonance and the first energy; a third current path for coupling the second signal line to the inductor, so that current of a second direction opposite to the first direction is supplied to the inductor and second energy can be stored in a state where one end of the panel capacitor is substantially sustained to be the second voltage; and a fourth current path for generating a resonance between the inductor and the panel capacitor, and substantially increasing a voltage of one end of the panel capacitor to the first voltage using current caused by the resonance and the second energy.
