Patent ID: 8111213

Claim:
A plasma display device, comprising: a plasma display panel having a plurality of first electrodes divided into a plurality of groups including first and second groups, a plurality of second electrodes, and a plurality of third electrodes intersecting the plurality of first and second electrodes; a controller configured to divide one frame into a plurality of subfields, each subfield including a reset period, an address period, and a sustain period; and a driver configured to supply a scan pulse and a scan reference voltage to the first and second groups, respectively, and to supply a compensation pulse to at least one of the first and second groups during the address period, the driver being configured to supply first and second compensation pulses to the first and second groups, respectively, wherein the driver includes: a scan switch circuit unit including first and second scan switches configured to sequentially supply the scan pulse; a first voltage supplier including a first power source configured to supply a first voltage, and a first switch having a first terminal connected to the first power source and a second terminal connected to the scan switch circuit unit; a second voltage supplier including a second power source configured to supply a second voltage higher than the first voltage, and a scan capacitor having a first terminal connected to the second power source and to the first scan switch, and a second terminal connected to the second scan switch; and a third voltage supplier including a third power source configured to supply a third voltage lower than the first voltage, and a second switch having a first terminal connected to the third power source and a second terminal connected to the switch circuit unit, wherein the first compensation pulse is supplied to the first group by turning on the first switch and the second scan switch, and the second compensation pulse is supplied to the second group by turning on the first switch and the first scan switch.
